The fact that Warner Brothers gave Ken Russell literally any money to make this movie in 1971 is still 1000x more unhinged (in the most incredible, inspired way) than them giving a billion dollars to Paul Thomas Anderson to make truly anything today.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

No, Hannah, That Wasn’t Brave (Guest Column)
True courage would have meant calling for peace, for coexistence, for the humanity of both Israelis and Palestinians, even if it risked boos instead of applause, writes Israeli activist Hen Mazzig.

a new HOLDING SPACE is up in which @peterknegt.bsky.social and i talk TOO MUCH (but the show and maybe in general?) and SATC www.cbc.ca/arts/holding...

Anne T. Donahue and Peter Knegt couldn't help wonder if the returns of Lena Dunham and Carrie Bradshaw were worthy of our summer television viewing.
