Grateful to my local indie @thegrandcinema.bsky.social for bringing No Other Land to Tacoma. They also show the nominated animated and live action shorts each year, as well as many of the feature-length docs and international submissions that can be harder to find.

No mainstream American awards ceremony had anyone speak on stage on Palestine or Gaza this year. It really filled my soul to see it done so powerfully.

the thing about the Democrats' "go find moderates, woo back the moderates" program, and I hope at least one of the tMG fans who are 100% zero-doubt inside the machine hears this: the moderates don't exist. income disparity has taken care of that. there was a guy who predicted this he had a big beard

Imagine being a teenage girl now. Your male peers are all watching Andrew Tate and doing Nazi salutes and every week the most prestigious magazines in the world run a piece about how it’s a social emergency that you’re not having babies in the 10th grade.

I am perennially fascinated by this aspect of the current moment. The people most invested in masculinity as a political project have an idea of it that seems bizarre to me. Not just in the sense of: I disagree with them about what would be good. Obviously. But it's more than that...

When people talk about the need for a positive masculinity I think they’re missing that “masculinity” has no real content other than domination. What’s changed is that humanvirtues—integrity, honesty, leadership—were for a long time seen as men’s exclusive domain.

I'm sorry but some of you are highly condescending. The very least we can do is to provide information to people about what's currently being proposed and to offer various options to push back. Marginalized people fight for their lives every single day. Always have and always will.

Arguably distorting and harming the Gospel isn't incompatible with Christianity, however. The wheat and the tares come up together. It matters that we treat the worst forms of Christianity as Christianity for three reasons:

It is true that grifters and kooks introduced some unreasonable language and norms into liberal spaces, that you can find examples of this going back decades, even during the Civil Rights Movement, and that centrists intentionally sensationalizing this over the last decade has damaged the country.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Small potatoes, but it is extremely disorienting to see just how so much of this blunt attack on public life is built off the petty grievances of some of the dumbest columnists in the nation: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Where are all the Dem consultants who supposedly do "comms" work at? Where's the website put together with succinct talking points, one pagers, posters that folks can easily download, print and pass out in their communities? Why aren't they doing this work PRO-BONO?

the thing about Trump's Kennedy Center fixation, beyond just pettiness, is that he actually really, really loves musical theatre. it's his one genuine passion in life, as far as I can tell, but he also doesn't have great taste, so get ready for a really big production of CATS.

Because Angels are without substance they are not individuals. Every Angel is a species. You know I went to Rome? Italian men don't wear beards! I won't try to convert you; I'm not a missionary. In fact I'm a bit of a heresy myself. (this has become a Pope Joan stan account)
