If only they were some kind of obvious and direct analogy to an event in history committed by an authoritarian regime that later committed atrocities on a mass scale.

This Christianity Today article about Musk's illegal decimation of USAID, and its catastrophic impacts, is very, very good. Republicans need to hear from evangelicals and Catholics who aren't NAR or theobros www.christianitytoday.com/2025/02/usai...

it feels like such a sick joke to watch the richest man in the world run a "Department of Government Efficiency" and brag about cutting federal spending when literally any amount he cuts—no matter how large—could easily be paid by him for literal pennies of his net worth

This is a hell of a crowd size for a protest at the Treasury Department. People do not like Elon.

it's soooo funny that the price of eggs was one of the primary examples of "economy is doing bad" during the election and as soon as Trump took office we got hit with the highest egg prices ever. like I don't even know if he can be blamed for the avian flu thing but dawg that's just poetic

I know you’re going to tell me that I’m an idiot but I really am surprised that my former friends who became Musk fans aren’t waking up to reality right now.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "Dude, this is actually a very minor conflict," said Gandalf, "Sauron isn't even the main bad guy, that's Morgoth. All of this is a minor skirmish compared to what was happening before. Read the Silmarillion, damn."

Listening to the audiobook of THE HOBBIT read by Andy Serkis and when he finally gets to the point where he can whip out the Gollum voice it's like when the drums hit in 'In The Air Tonight.'

the one thing giving me hope amid all this anti-trans legislation is that the community will finally have a powerful ally, JK Rowling, on their side. ya know, because she famously said she’d march with them if they were ever discriminated against. let’s get this march started!

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

kind of the defining image of our current era for me. a character betrayed, grieving, and angry, watching helplessly as fundamentalism consumes her people and they zealously rally to destroy the world

sorry for getting ✨️political✨️ on the good vibes and video games app again, but the human brain is not designed to withstand another 207 weeks of this shit so pace yourself and try to channel that anger, despair, and hopelessness into something productive. make some kick ass art, we will need it

I appreciate this piece in The Bulwark greatly. It makes the serious, moderate, cis-friendly case that trans rights are not a distraction or a trifle to be easily dispensed with. www.thebulwark.com/p/we-all-los...

so many people warned about exactly this for years and major papers preferred to publish scare pieces about trans girls playing sports

The full quote is unhinged. He says “you can argue the Trail of Tears was wrong, but you can’t argue it was un-American. And in a sense, doesn’t that mean…it was actually right?”

ICYMI: I asked a bunch of biologists to weigh in on Trump's official definitions of "male" and "female" in his executive order declaring only 2 sexes. They are as "nonsensical" as they are embarrassingly detached from basic human biology. www.huffpost.com/entry/biolog...

It's just now registering with me that Sing Sing did not actually get nominated for Best Picture. I'd read the list a dozen times today and somehow gaslit myself into thinking it was there. What!

normally I'd be mad at the franchise machine nabbing another one but honestly I can't be anything other than excited for Eggers' Labyrinth. just hope it's something esoteric and weird and not doing legacy sequel shenanigans

Wonderful piece from @artwithin.bsky.social over at @TheRabbitRoom connecting INTERSTELLAR, A Christmas Carol, TS Eliot and incarnation. "The reality of love still provides an opportunity to redeem what was once thought to be forever broken." www.rabbitroom.com/post/a-chris...

maybe someone can report on how much it adds, but it feels kinda disingenuous to me for them to advertise an "extended cut" for Nosferatu with only 4 extra minutes lol. that's like 2 short deleted scenes max

I don't know how I feel about NICKEL BOYS getting a Best Picture nom but no cinematography. Happy for the former but I'm livid about the latter. It just doesn't make sense.
