More than 75 per cent of films made during the silent era are now lost. Here are fragments from a few of them

Paulette Goddard in "The Women" - BOTD

Look at this absolutely chilling compilation. What era of history does this remind you of?

The Trump administration cannot legally purge gay people from the military under federal law. But it can create a hostile environment that makes gay service members feel unwelcome, and that’s exactly what’s happening here. Pure homophobia.

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

JD was actually going to launch later this summer, but after "We're all going to die" the time was right. He's a *great* candidate for this race. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

ICE is now posing as the electric company to get access to people’s houses. tucson.com/news/local/b...

Based on my understanding of 1920s cinematography, I think this shot of Greta Garbo from The Single Standard (1929) was done inside a studio. If so, it's impressively realistic

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

Shows over- here is our full coverage of today. If you want to learn more about MAYDAY, NAR and those in the movement you can read our recent piece here leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/plo...

In addition to telling people of all faiths to embrace *her* lord and savior, she also expresses that people wanting to receive medical care so they don’t needlessly suffer and die is equivalent to believing in the tooth fairy. Fuck you, Joni.

Guy who absolutely DID vote for this voice) "I didn't vote for this."

Ugh, yes! This has always driven me nuts, just like the assumption that “bipartisanship” is inherently good. When nazis are trying to do as much harm as possible to various groups, being polarized from that is a pretty goddamn healthy response.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

The entire trans community is held responsible for every 19 year old who ever yelled at someone online about pronouns because we're not given the dignity of being separate individuals the way members of the majority are. This is just how prejudice works.

So what's the centrist plan here? Democrats have to win. Alright, why? To arrest the growth of the fascist right through sweeping political reforms? No. To enact an ambitious policy agenda? No. To do policy like we did 30 years ago and hope everyone likes it and we're fine again? This will work?

NEW: Three-judge panel of the Court of International Trade rules that Congress did not delegate to Trump unbounded authority to set tariffs. The challenged tariff orders are enjoined. cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/fi...

* The Apartment ❤️❤️ * Dr. Strangelove * Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? * High and Low * The Artist (I know this one is controversial for some silent movie lovers, but I adore it 😳)

Today is a ROUGH one. Please spend 10 seconds enjoying how much baby pied billed grebes look like clowns. 🪶 🐣

This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.

They keep saying it out loud.

Ron Howard voice-over: They did not, in fact, consider the offer.

This! I find this true for myself when compared to my Facebook usage too, though I know it’s a different format.

Twice the likelihood of stillbirth.

@ryanlcooper.com was a Peace Corps volunteer in an all-Black region of South Africa in the late 2000s, and somehow survived to tell the story. How do you overcome white genocide? I think the secret was "go about your daily life in a normal fashion": prospect.org/world/2025-0...

The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand
