gonna make a little thread of threads of my threads on understanding/surviving the current sociopolitical moment so that people can just 📌 one thing if they want a place to reread all of these
(I’ve been told they’re useful, scroll past with no ill will if not to you!)

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

Reiner as both a political and cultural figure is a grand lesson in how art matters. It’s not just the “art films” that matter, it’s the fun stuff too, the silly stuff, the seemingly inconsequential. It all matters because we matter, it’s all that deep because so are we.

This is what happens when the FBI is run by two right-wing conspiracy theorist podcasters who spent the last 11 months purging almost anyone with institutional knowledge from the bureau. They're going to keep fucking this kind of thing up.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

A Few Good Men. Best in Show. A Mighty Wind. Miss Congeniality. Barcelona. All three movies in Linklater's "Before" trilogy. Music & Lyrics. Michael Clayton. All films that were able to be made because of the production company Reiner co-founded in order to give talented filmmakers creative freedom.
without Rob Reiner’s Castle Rock production company we wouldn’t have:
City Slickers, Honeymoon in Vegas, In the Line of Fire, The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise, Dolores Claiborne, Lone Star, Waiting for Guffman, and more - in a six-year period alone

this is false and ghoulish.
your own source doesn’t even support the claim made in the headline
the source this article links to, a Qatar-funded news outlet, doesn’t support the claim made in the headline
And it is sociopathic to go out of your way to remind Jews of murdered Jewish children today

He lands this whole moment & the punchline so hard.
One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Are there any ACA provisions I’m not familiar with that would help a Florida household composed of a married couple under 26, one of whom is still on his parents’ health insurance but whose combined income makes the remaining partner ineligible for ACA subsidies, after their gutting by Republicans?

a fun game on here is to find people posting about how they’re shocked that antisemitism still exists at a level that can lead to shooting Jews during a Hanukkah celebration, and do a “from:” search for their posts containing the word “Zionist”
“Zionists are soulless” is not a principled critique

I think even Rand is appalled to find himself periodically emerging as a voice of reason.
Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

Again, even though the Japanese government leading up to 1945 committed terrible atrocities, none of us think that Japanese internment was caused by the Japanese government. It was caused by American racism.
No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.
