A thirty-something trying their best in Minneapolis. I watch movies, cook, and play GAA

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

the US will do anything but redesign roads to make speeding harder.
Oh, well, when you say it like that, how could I or anyone possibly object, it seems as inevitable as it does innocent, and that's why I love American newspapers

Law enforcement is expanding the use of remotely controlled drones despite concerns of civil liberties groups.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

It's that time of year again. That time when I insist on putting basketball on TV during Christmas at the Midwestern in-laws place when the NFL is also on

The fact that Marshawn Lynch emphatically states "The Holocaust. It happened" in Bottoms (a film that, like most teen comedies, doesn't and shouldn't care to explore immigration dynamics) as if it's a statement that a teacher would have to clarify is evidence enough to me of a generational divide
Folks, would you believe me if I told you JD Vance was over there railing against the immigrants as the reason for the antisemitism

There are a lot of terrible people in Hollywood. By all accounts that I know, Rob Reiner was a genuinely good person and a real mensch. He aimed to make his sets functional workplaces where people felt comfortable and safe (insane that that's rare). RIP to an icon who made some of my favorite films

every time I see an A-list actor in an ad for some slot machine phone game, I think about how Bill Murray's character in Lost in Translation doing advertisements is framed as basically the highest form of humiliation an actor could go through.

Yes of course, when I think of the San Francisco Giants teams of the 21st century, I think of Jeff Kent instead of Barry fucking Bonds

Was revisiting The Island (which is STILL an absolute banger) and was reviewing the filmology of Michael Bay on IMDB when I hit upon an unexpected surprise.
