Finished The American Revolution last night, caught some of an Exterminate All the Brutes marathon on HBO today - note, Rhiannon Giddens music appear in both! - now on to The Great Dictator at AFS, part of their Nope to Nazis series, and my first Chaplin film. More synthesis to do after all this.

No luck at Austin Film Fest screening of Hamnet w/ a Lone Star badge, 30 minutes pre-show, laughably inadequate - ALL 300 seats gone - so I’m spending time bonding with the new foster, a sr gal who has been neglected. I’ll see that film next month tho it was the reason to get this year’s badge 😭

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.
