Saw a pair of films that were very different, and yet contained interesting similarities. Heartily recommend both. The films are Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Bugonia”, and Jafar Panahi’s “It Was Just An Accident” #Film

Kidnapping a sovereign nation’s leader is a terrible precedent to set. I mean how would we feel if someone came into our country, and … oh hang on now…

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

I'm no economist but I've wondered for a long time what rich people were thinking would happen if they made the largest part of the population too poor to buy their products. What's something worth if nobody can afford it?

Here's my #Sinners piece made w/pencil, ink, & gouache! Including A/P prints - w/a glow-in-the-dark ed.!
No real room to say what it means to me, but as a biracial woman whose father was a Black identical twin from NOLA, & a kid during the film's time period, it's a top 5 film for me.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Hot take: Generation designators (X, Millennial, Y) are dumb, and about as reliable a predictor of character, as the Zodiac. It’s just more tribalism that keeps us divided
