I work in TV whatever that means now. Cinephile. News junkie. Treehugger. Brooklyn NY. Hating on fascists and authoritarians. I follow tons of folks to grow a great news/culture feed for myself to read, so there.

Pillion won best British independent film at the BIFA awards, and I’m obsessed with this photo of Alexander Skarsgård with his hand down Harry Melling’s shirt 👀

We already know the Trump administration has been lying about ICE “targeting the worst of the worst” — the actual numbers tell the truth.
The government’s own data shows only 15 % of those detained had any prior criminal convictions, and just 3 % were violent offenders.

The rise of deepfake pornography in schools: ‘One girl was so horrified she vomited’
The use of ‘nudify’ apps is becoming more and more prevalent, with hundreds of teachers having seen images created by pupils, often of their peers. The fallout is huge – and growing fast

One thing Frank Gehry did better than any architect in history is create works of art that will be distinctive as landmarks within the post-apocalyptic rubble. Like once the apes take over and the world is overgrown with vegetation, the few human survivors will still recognize and cling to his work.
