NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

David Lynch has gone on to whatever the next place is. I’m very sad about it; it came at a hard time for the city of Los Angeles, a place he dearly loved, and it’s hard not to think his change of cons...

Today you can watch a sadistic rapist threaten and intimidate good people in a campaign of vicious retribution.

Tedious to point this out, but:

- When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story.

-Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

I feel like I know my Bluesky audience pretty well, but just in case some of you have (gasp!) never seen Casablanca and therefore never had the heartsplitting experience of watching a bunch of real life European refugees stand up and drown out fake Nazis by singing the Marseillaise go fix that soon.

Read Peter’s terrific threaded callouts to our Midnighters and other genre marbled into the sxsw lineup. Not going to lie, special place in my heart for Good Boy and Indy’s best doggo performance!
Today is one of my favorite days because we get to lift the lid on this year’s SXSW Film & TV festival program. These may be movies/people you’ve probably never heard of, but all need to be on your radar.

Today I’m just going to talk about the Midnghters and other genre films we’re playing...

So here's what's cool about my job:

Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

I'm really not one to place much causal weight on legal decisions or overplay the importance of law in our political economy--but Citizens United will go down as one of the major accelerants of US capitalism eating US democracy
When people complained about Citizens United, I doubt they even had this in mind as a possibility. One man, not a corporation, able to fund primary challenges against anyone who fails to fall in line. Absolutely grotesque.

If JOY RIDE approaches or breaks $10M at the box office this weekend against crazy competition that’s a huge win.

The BO prognosticators are benchmarking $8M+. Bring a bunch of friends and see this in theaters with a big ass crowd—it’s by far the best way to watch it.
