Ryan Coogler – the man himself – is in conversation with @kambole.bsky.social on going back to first principles for Sinners after the epic production of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, wanting to deliver a story rooted in personal passions, but to also reach for the IMAX cameras.
I interviewed Ryan Coogler about SINNERS for this beautiful issue!!

good, but I hope people are making plans for software that doesn't keep them hostage to the whims of an incredibly callous model. every company is aspiring to be a landlord now and it's awful
Adobe appears to have reversed course on this. Animate is safe, at least for the immediate future.

I mostly watched shorts at Sundance this year, but of the few features I caught, I ended up loving Adam & Zack Khalil's Aanikoobijigan most. A poetic and political work about the institutions that hold native bodies hostage and those working toward repatriation and reburial.
Sundance Review: Aanikoobijigan Demands a Necessary Reclamation
Even before his campaign for the removal of indigenous people from their land in the 1800s, Thomas Jefferson was pillaging burial grounds under the guise of scientific understanding. His actions preda...

People got so uncomfortable about that Ta-Nehisi Coates quote about how if you didn't draw the line at Gaza, you can't draw the line at democracy
I would argue there is a throughline here with every Palestinian in Gaza being called a terrorist
Stephen Miller calls the deceased “a domestic terrorist.”

People should not have to be perfect victims to not be murdered by the state or by a racist game show host and his lawless den of jackals and elite pedophile cover up conspiracists, but still HOLY SHIT MAN
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

over on twitter some dipshit goes “Sinners is only doing well because of white liberals,” this fucking guy says there’s too many “ultranationalist” Brazilians in the Academy (??), what is so far-fetched to these morons about two critically acclaimed movies getting nominations lmao
It’s started: Oliver Laxe said on Spanish television that THE SECRET AGENT is doing well because there are too many Brazilians in the Academy — “ultranationalists” who would vote for a shoe if it were Brazilian and now this is what the comment section on the SIRÂT Instagram looks like x 5,000.
