Here we go. Gonna hashtag these #MyCriterionList. Up first, Bertrand Bonello’s THE BEAST (2023). Sometimes impenetrable, always compelling, the constant gnawing dread of the shadow of The Beast hangs over everything from the first scene. It’s like a lucid dream, or a waking nightmare. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1h

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

The fact that they can't get a random sampling of citizens from any city to indict people for interfering with ICE seems more informative than any political poll, tbh

Every video I see of ICE agents shows them fully kitted up and heavily armed so I’m not sure why they need the National Guard to be their bodyguards.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN LOGIC
1. A male is defined by having a penis and testicles
2. God is a male.

Therefore
3. God has balls and a wang.

Ask a fundamentalist how big god’s hog is. No matter how big he says it is, it will be a limit to the infinite size of god and therefore a blasphemy.

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

It’s wild America thinks it’s a country where criminals are treated with a cushy lax attitude with law enforcement prevented from doing their jobs when every piece of evidence is that it’s the opposite except for rich people who don’t commit crimes because why would they have money if they did that

I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest Greta Thunberg is literally, in every meaningful way, tougher & a better leader than any elected official. Every single one. Some much more than others.

Methods, policy, practicalities, those are all beside the point. You need passion, drive & humanity

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 1d

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

Happened upon Kelly Clarkson’s Greatest Hits (Chapter 1) and was surprised to discover that I knew 15 of the 18 tracks, and this was from 2012 so it doesn’t include “Underneath The Tree.” Easily the best run of any Idol winner. And her album from last year kind of rips, too, so she’s still after it.
