Zelenskyy has managed to avoid being killed by Putin only to go to the U.S. and get ambushed by the American president and his VP. No wonder he was dressed for battle. Probably suspected it and knew he’d have to fight. Hasn’t survived three years of war by being naive.

Can’t wait to hear that “reporter” challenge musk for wearing a printed T-shirt and idiotic baseball cap in the Oval Office while towering over little trump as musk’s kid tells trump he’s not president and to shut up.

With every tick of the clock, some new horror is unleashed. It remains appalling that 77 million Americans made it happen.

How long before airline pilots both domestic and international refuse to fly in the U.S. without NOAA, a trustworthy FAA, and well-supported air traffic controllers?

Gene Hackman, but also this guy. Spotlight on my old friend and bandmate, singer/songwriter Ed Kohler. He has joined sax player Aldo Jones in the great gig in the sky. Notable among his last words on his deathbed, ”fuck trump.” Rest in Power

Re my last post. It’s not only maga coming for us. I trust no one now until they have proven themselves. Soul-crushing. That’s their plan and playbook. Be prepared for anything. Expect it.

Nontraditional student’s daughter now wants to take the class next semester after hearing her mom explain feminist film theory to her husband. Almost said it is too late, that very soon it will be a crime to teach the current feminist, anti-fascist, anti-racist syllabus.

Academia is censoring itself to avoid visa issues - I guess we should reconsider having conferences in countries where such actions seem to be necessary.

The plan is to shut down medicine and open MAHA prayer centers. Actually, they’ll be called MAPA centers. On the upside, they’ll be flammable.

It was a joy to interview Mario van Peebles & his son Mandela for The Cinematologists, about his new film Outlaw Posse. Screening as part of the Black Rodeo season at the BFI which highlight the history of African Americans on the Western mythos. www.patreon.com/cinematologists or wherever you pod.

I was able to Flamingo for nearly two minutes first time trying. Apparently that’s extremely good for someone my age. Ready for the old man Flamingo Olympics.

Anti-musk demonstrations at Tesla dealerships are good. Don’t buy Teslas. & Tesla has Federal contracts worth like $700 million. But Space X’s Fed contracts are worth many billions (thanks, Biden) & rising, including for Dept of Defense. Billions of our tax $ to Dr. Strangemusk. Let’s protest that.

For the @latimes.com, I wrote about an aspect of NICKEL BOYS that hasn't received nearly enough attention: its terrific screenplay. I sat down with RaMell Ross to break down three key scenes, discussing how each evolved from script to screen. (He also shared some cool behind-the-scenes tidbits.)

Do you want to hear it talk? explores the representation of speaking machines in science fiction cinema. Through iconic voices-HAL 9000, the Daleks, Robocop etc-the film examines how synthesised speech shapes the thematic & narrative fabric of sci-fi speculation. open.substack.com/pub/dariolli...

Wedged between ads for Armani, Gucci, Prada, and so on, Esquire Magazine has a surprisingly lengthy article with a point-by-point comparison of Hitler’s rise to power and trump/maga, among others. So Teen Vogue is not alone among fashion mags doing the work. Fashion fighting fascism.

Someone should make a movie about a weird nazi immigrant to the U.S. who builds rockets and maniacally guides the country and the world into disaster while throwing up involuntary nazi salutes. Call it Dr. Strangemusk.

Thought I was losing my mind when he said that America would “simply take Gaza” and the news media wondered “how would that work?” as if it might be plausible. So I was relieved to hear at least one person (not sure who) say “it’s completely bonkers!” President Bonkers.

I know it’s against professional ethics, but I wish that during press conferences reporters would simply laugh out loud in his face at absurd lies, claims, and proposals that don’t deserve questions. Do not legitimize the magalomaniac.

Sorry Michelle, but the mantra should have been “when they go low, we go left.” That’s where the hope and change was against a ruthless hard right. Now we are in the fight of our lives just to maintain, much less to erode support for the magalomaniac.

I’m really enjoying Mo so far. A well-tuned and timely comedy about a stateless Palestinian refugee living the good ol’ bro working class life, hustling to survive in Houston while ducking ICE. On par with Reservation Dogs and Atlanta.
