Just a rando Friday night thought:
I wanna see more women becoming voices in action film discussion in 2026. The last 13± years have been cool but it's mostly a sausage fest, and some of these dudes are just enabled, untested dickwads who think they're cool but aren't. Something needs changing.

Conic Natalie is celebrating its 10th year in part with a new panel interview featuring Yugo Sakamoto, Masanori Mimoto, and Kensuke Sonomura where they discuss their careers, the state of Japanese action cinema and their hopes going forward. I also learned I share a birthday with this lovely bloke.

Trump cutting US aid has killed more Christian Nigerians than anyone else ever could. And if we don’t stop him, it will get even more deadly.
He was never about protecting Christians. He was never about justice. He was always about white supremacy and oil. youtube.com/shorts/q5OeE...

And just like that, Donald Trump's reasoning for his latest military strike in Nigeria targeting ISIS has turned out to be bunk as there's no history of ISIS in the area they just hit. Dude just wanted to bomb black people on Christmas. Shocker.

Trigger Warning: I talk opinion in areas pertinent to politics and criminal justice with respect to current events, and other matters of a sensitive nature. Typically around this time of the year I pick up my keyboard and start dillydalling between my thoughts and fingers on what to say in reflection of all that's happened in the preceding year. I often look toward these write-ups with an air of optimism that by the holiday season, I'll have a roster of things I can deliniate as points of positivity and progress to coat a lot of the hardship that usually comes with life and living.

Hats off to the MAGA mafia still fixated on Clinton's impeachment for his affair with a grown woman while wilfully glossing over their current king's latest exposure for paying to have sex with a 13 year old, getting her pregnant and overseeing the disposal of the baby in a lake. Y'all ain't shit.🖕🏾

I've seen an big spike in FB followers this year. That includes folks commenting under my video uploads with captions, asking about said content. I tell them to read the captions and sadly that doesn't stop them from asking, including one guy today whose reply to me was "f*** you". People are fun.

Bari Weiss claims she killed the CBS CECOT story because it lacked Trump’s perspective.
1. That’s a lie. Trump has publicly commented supporting CECOT.
2. Refusing to comment is their choice. They are no victim.
3. Killing a story to protect power is State Run Media.
Drop CBS permanently.
