Thanks again to @ani-obsessive.bsky.social for helping me find these episodes. Mighty Heroes is a great example of what led Ralph Bakshi to make Mighty Mouse in the late 80s.

Maybe not the best practice but I’m posting this before reading it through. Just trying to keep track of who these new tech billionaire overlords are.
The Quiet Political Rise of David Sacks, Silicon Valley’s Prophet of Urban Doom
Like his pals Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, Sacks is using his wealth and online clout to unite conservatives and former leftists in a reactionary movement against liberalism.

A thread. My favorite movies from each year, starting with:
1916 INTOLERANCE ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ This grandeur of this early mega-epic means there's a lot to recommend it, though I find the overall tone smug and cloying; an early "cancel culture is out of control."
(This is the only film I've seen from 1916.)

As a middle school teacher I know a cheater when I see one. Even if Trump would have won without cheating, isn't it just a good idea to double check?
