Rest up Tom Noonan.
One of the best character actors of his generation, and a criminally underrated writer/director (seriously, watched "What Happened Was..."). What a loss 😔

This is a fantastic video and if you're reading this and you haven't watched it, you should (after you watch Predator: Badlands).
With “Predator: Badlands” on Hulu/Disney+, it’s worth re-sharing this video I made about how Dan Trachtenberg created a grand unified theory of “Predator.”
What is the “Predator” series *about*, and how does “Badlands” engage with it?
One of my favourite things I’ve done.

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...
The Epstein-Johnny Depp-Justin Baldoni connection
These men shared some of the same crisis publicists and PR strategies.

The margins in the 2024 general were not close enough for yall to still be blaming people who were outraged and horrified by a genocide that the democrats fully supported, enabled, and defended, for the current fascistic moment we're in.
Btw, dems are STILL fucking up, and what comes next is worse.

Is there anyone left in the GOP who isn't a rapist pedophile human trafficker or all three?
The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

this is not a thought-out take, but:
inasmuch as leftists care about electoralism, should the full focus be on mayoral and maybe governor races, which feel way more winnable, rather than wasting time acting like a national candidate will follow through on any progressive promises?

Try not to share too much Twitter stuff over here, but it is quite something to wake up to the United States Department of Labour tweeting a translated Nazi slogan and suspect it won’t even be the worst thing that happens today.
