Didn't have anything on my Bio Description when I was on Twitter, but I guess I may as well have one now.

Studied music, dabbled in history, love film. He/Him, in case the kilt wasn't a giveaway.

I’m about 55% shitposting with this but I think there’s a pretty striking echo of history here: what is “local control” but “states rights” about a different sort of property?

In this essay I will discuss the how the omnicause of John Brown the first YIMBY is still marching on…

not to put too fine a point on it but every one of these people—lizza and nuzzi, obviously, but also sundberg herself—are symptoms of the same problem, which is that larping as a journalist is orders of magnitude more lucrative than actually practicing journalism
a paywalled substack chat is an interesting marketing strategy

Somehow this is the worst part.

Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

This is all true but

1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law

2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up

The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.
If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.

AI is in a race to find a revenue stream before people get bored and/or catch on. I actually would welcome automation for certain tedious tasks but formatting a spreadsheet isn’t sexy to investors. Making a movie from thin air* is.

The crow king demands obsequiounce from his flock. His subject bows in genuflection before her king. She too had plucked a humble offering direct from the frame in hopes of having her petition heard.

I dunno, man, maybe because the last two movies I *really* wanted to see in the theater are only playing in, like, 5 theaters in a 50 mile radius and they all stink? Neither Frankenstein nor Wake Up, Dead Man are coming to my CITY, and I hate it.

The Benoit Blanc trilogy might end up as one of the best artistic statements on the diseased conservatism of our era, and l think Wake Up Dead Man is my favorite of the trilogy, largely because it’s Rian Johnson trying to understand Christianity and its adherents more than having a definitive take.
