In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

Since City of God has already been mentioned as trending downward, I feel like nobody talks about The Boondock Saints as a bad college dorm room toxic masculinity movie anymore

throwing this prompt from Twitter in here. what examples you got?

tweet by @Caol_MacCormaic that reads, uncs of film twitter: what are some movies that are canonical now but were basically unknown when we were coming up? like Come and See or Possession. inversely: what are some movies or filmmakers that seem to have fallen off? (Takashi Miike comes to mind)

Honestly relatable, in the sense that if you asked me what my coworkers do all day I'd say "emails and Zoom meetings?" But that's why I'm not in management.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Lot of people confidently missing the point in the replies to this: if every cent of Elon musks net wealth was liquid, which it isn’t, that’s not even enough money to run the govt for two weeks. The problem less that they have money, and more how they use that money in destabilizing ways.

I know the WGN morning news isn't actual news, but zero segments in the first 7:00am block mentioned yesterday's ICE abductions in the city. Zero.

This is 100000% why Pritzker sent in the state police, whether you agree with the decision or not.

Illinois State Police & Broadview police managed the protests on Saturday, Oct. 4 under a "unified command," meaning that federal agents with all branches of the Department of Homeland Security did not need to intervene in the protests to conduct their work, Perry says

As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

There’s a viral video reposted by a lot of news people nationally about an abduction at West Loop Elementary School, but there is no school with that name. The video seems to be of ICE detaining people near UIC yesterday. Details matter. We need to try to get them right before sharing.

Also a confirmed abduction in Rogers Park earlier at Clark/Lunt. Far North Side appears to be a hot spot this morning. Take care, everyone.

Also this morning, around one hour ago, a witness saw Border Patrol agents grab a man in the Lincoln/McCormick Home Depot parking lot in West Ridge.

In a fight between Pritzker and and police, who is going to win? This is what happens when both parties allowed law enforcement to become one of the most powerful political actors in the country -- a taxpayer-funded political movement that wants to kill people.
