The film is based on a true story set in 1970s Rio de Janeiro, when Brazil was living under a military dictatorship.

the movies suffer terribly when there is a lack of weird looking dudes to play major roles. Clarence Boeddicker was a good 30% of why Robocop was so memorable and he sold that character by looking and feeling like some freak who knifes you behind a bar for the $12 in your pocket

RIP Gene Hackman, an actor practically without peer. (Who's working on his level today without hair plugs?) Also, RIP Betsy Arakawa his spouse and their dog. Please reply if it's carbon monoxide b/c I can't read any more of these tease pieces.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

What are good protest groups to fight the Nazification of the USA?

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Jan 6 was a test run. He got away with it. Now he's going to try to go all the way. How can we fight it?

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you - have never published anything - have no readers - didn't write anything this month - didn't write anything this year - can't articulate words anymore - can only float and mournfully wail - were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

Happy Genocide Resistance ('Thanksgiving') Week! Today I learned the longest counterinsurgency war in the US was the war on the Apache nation from 1850 to 1886. Geronimo famously led the final decade of Apache resistance. — An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by R. Dunbar-Ortiz

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore." I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT. We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.
