We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Dodgy Declán.

Maybe we need a new word for people who do the sieg heil to troll the libs. [googles for a minute or two] Huh. It turns out "Nazis" still does the trick.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Welp he’s dead.

#57: La guerre des étoiles (2025) - Coralie Faraget’s Star Wars that she filmed on a camcorder when she was 17. It’s a lot of fun, especially the Ewoks. ★★★ 1/2 / ★★★★★ letterboxd.com/josephfinn/f... #firsttimewatches2025 #52filmsbywomen #52filmsbywomen2025

#56: The New World (2005) - A noble attempt to be the story of Matoaka and it mostly succeeds, especially because of Q'orianka Kilcher. ★★★★ / ★★★★★ letterboxd.com/josephfinn/f... #firsttimewatches2025 #thedecadesproject #thedecadesproject2025

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Saturday morning so back to the Decades Project. Today, a Malick I've never seen. He's a director I bounce off a bit (though I adore the non-Penn sections of Tree Of Life) but I'm curious about this one. Now watching: THE NEW WORLD (2005)

This week on The Way Home, Andie MacDowell finally gets fed up enough to yell at the pond.

"Oh uh just one more thing...the Spice only exists on one planet in the entire universe"

This looks pretty damn cool.

The Associated Press is suing the White House for the right to do their jobs while also using the words they choose. Good for them. www.ap.org/wp-content/u...
