A great piece on the most frustratingly relevant film of 2025. I think about THE INSIDER every day.

20 Years Later, The Insider Is Michael Mann’s Greatest Prophecy
For all its foresightedness, the 1999 movie is also a time capsule, from a period when TV or newspaper reports could actually change things.

je lisais Dagmar Herzog récemment, et elle disait quelque chose d'assez juste à propos des soc-dem aujourd'hui : ils ménagent les capitalistes en pensant qu'ils sont encore juste contre-révolutionnaires comme au siècle dernier, alors qu'ils sont clairement contre-réformistes et ne cèderont : r-i-e-n

Everyone thinks GHOSTBUSTERS is a libertarian fantasy about the triumph of business but it's actually a cautionary tale about how the 80s antipathy towards government & push for privatization results in dangerously incompetent bureaucrats & a private sector exploiting natural disasters for profit.

Bought the new Pynchon in hardcover today, at our local indie bookseller, fulfilling two promises to self. Read the first few pages while waiting for our lunch sandwiches to be toasted in a nearby patisserie, immediately getting that in-for-a-good-read feeling.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.
Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
