I am absolutely begging Democratic politicians to make media reform a centerpiece of their policy platforms
Local U.S. TV News Will Soon Be Entirely Right Wing Propaganda
Thanks to the destruction of media consolidation limits, Republicans will soon enjoy propaganda and market domination over what's left of local U.S. news.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Episode 5 is exceptional. There's no other way to put it. It's the proverbial 2x4 to the head that wakes you up and reveals the gravity of your in-game choices. More than once, I was frozen, staring in disbelief at what I was seeing or reading.
This is storytelling of the first order.

Scarlet Hollow Episode 5 is finally OUT!
Our vision was to make a game where your choices *actually* matter, instead of just being window dressing.
930,000 branching words later, no two runs should ever feel the same.
If Slay the Princess has no wrong decisions, Scarlet Hollow has no right ones.

While I maintain that Vertigo is Hitchcock's best, I can understand why someone would dislike it.
Rear Window, on the other hand, is that rare perfection where I can't comprehend how someone couldn't enjoy it. Godfather 1 (even if 2 is better) and Wizard of Oz are other examples of this.

Any list of the Best Films of 2025 should go like this:
1. Sinners
2. The Rest
This is not to say there weren't a TONNE of amazing films in 2025, it was a really good year for film!
But Sinners is an all-time masterpiece and Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan deserve their flowers! #Sinners
