Ok I'ma gonna say it - @tpnwicmfp.bsky.social is probably my favourite film podcast right now. and their latest episode on EDDINGTON shows in entertaining detail how the Aster & the film materializes the paranoid architectures of our mediasphere. Adding this to the syllabus now.

Maybe they should stop locking all their products in boxes so people will buy them again. As an alternative to being horrible to their employees, IMO
private equity buys a company and immediately starts torturing their employees and the money

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.

It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

With the Starbucks strike happening today, I’m suddenly remembering when Howard Schultz was thinking about running for president. That was a pretty wild thing. Anyway, I’m not crossing the picket line

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Review: The Paper (Season one) - Chicago Reader
The Paper is a useful and nostalgic sitcom, but it will need multiple seasons to reach its potential.

Requiring kidnapping victims to pay $1500 to be released from their kidnappers is offensive af, but there is a bond fund available. Add these folks to your donation list.

"That we have been made to think about Harrison this much, at all, is perhaps the greatest indicator of his failure. There is a strong correlation between the broader fandom of basketball knowing who an executive is and that executive’s job being in trouble."

Some premium Wilmes stuff right here.
