I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.
If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

The gun was removed by agents from his waistband - he was never pointing it at them. He was already disarmed when they fired "defensive shots," killing the man. They then fired several shots at his lifeless body.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun
THERE IS VIDEO
I really do not want to recommend to everyone a video of a person being shot but there is video from multiple angles
why not cut the crap and just publish "this paper supports random state murder, it makes us feel good, kill kill kill"? same exact meaning, less embarrassing

Say what you will about The Brutalist and the discourse around it, but it absolutely looks incredible.

I am giving myself a few weeks before I etch my Top 2024 list in stone (Letterboxd). But even though I think this is a fairly strong Oscars year, an awards show picked by me would include a lot more Hitman, Challengers, Love Lies Bleeding, Red Rooms, Evil Does Not Exist, and Furiousa.

El Mal is good! I wish the rest of Emilia Perez was anywhere near that level or even remained interested in anything that song was dealing with thematically!

Watching the Oscars and love that the guy I follow on Letterboxd that always has logged the weirdest genre/exploitation movies from like Italy in the 70's just won an Academy Award. Sean Baker is a real one.

Owners accepting the Lombardi trophy is as lame as producers accepting the Best Picture Oscar. Each team should have a recognizable representative. It should be Gritty or the Always Sunny cast up there.

Feel like that halftime show was so good and annoyed all the worst people that they are going to force Kid Rock on us next year in retaliation.

Seems appropriate since I can only assume that we have this administration in large part due to microplastics in the brain. The next order will be about going back to lead paint.

I love Annette Bening and she would have an Oscar by now if it were up to me for 20th Century Women. But I really wish Greta Lee nabbed that Best Actress spot for Past Lives, my personal favorite of the year.
