Share a '90s movie that deserves more love...? 👍🏻
Blues Harp is one of my favorite early Takashi Miike films. This low budget entry trades his familiar shock content for a simple sincere human story of a gay Yakuza and a half-American bartender turned singer finding a connection as social outsiders.

Okay missed this yesterday but this study is good news, the kids are alright!
2/🧵 New piece with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social in @NewRepublic: We analyzed 60,000+ respondents in the 2024 Cooperative Election Study. Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation. The generational shift overwhelms the education divide that supposedly defines modern politics.
The Shocking Truth About Gen Z Voters Is That They’re Pretty Great
Stop panicking: They are the most progressive generation ever, especially on race. If that surprises you, you’ve been listening to the wrong story.

I really hate "elevated horror" criticism. There is no shortage of horror movies made by people more interested in selling something rather than saying something, but there has never been a period where horror movies weren't about something. Ideology is purest when no one is thinking about it.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Penn rejecting the compact is a big deal bc Marc Rowan, the author of the central academic sections, is a huge Penn donor and was responsible for the defenestration of President Liz Magill. So they are not only standing up to an administration they had caved to (like Brown) but to their own alum
🚨🚨🚨
And THREE stood up!
Penn has joined MIT & Brown in rejecting Trump’s loyalty oath compact.
When we join together and fight back, WE WIN!
No amount of federal bribery is worth surrendering the freedom to question, explore, and dissent.

Due to a new bill signed by NC Governor Josh Stein (a Democrat), the moratorium on our state's death penalties has been ended and may now proceed via *any* method. Welcome back, barbarity.
In the book, my essay “The False Evolution of Execution Methods” will be accompanied by a new essay by Lyle May. May interrogates capital punishment from his singular perspective; he has been incarcerated on North Carolina’s death row for over twenty years.
