Wreckmeister Harmonies and Sátántangó are two of the best films ever made. Sátántangó is 439 minutes long. None of them are wasted. RIP
RIP to Béla Tarr, an artist who made beautiful (often haunting) films on his own terms and took no prisoners when talking about them. Truly one of the best to ever do it.

Can't tell you how much it means to me for WITHOUT CONSENT to be written up in the New Yorker as part of a larger consideration of consent in general. And I will gladly be known as "taking a true-crime approach to intellectual history"!

Sunday is a big day here for "It won't work" and "Actually" and "You're so naive" and "Like there'll even BE elections." I get the power of depression and despair, but I'm still gonna block everyone who comes at me with that, because in a contest between your need to vent and my self-care, I win.

Sorry but yes we should still read Adorno. No one has to be an Adornian, or follow any specific author as a single authority. But we must continue reading the critical tradition during this time of conservative restoration.

When the LAPD arrests a dude at a gas station they don’t take over the gas station and use it to gas up all the cop cars tho
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
