We talked about Star Trek:First Contact (🔥🔥) for 90 mins and then watched Bad Bunny, 10/10 way to approach Superbowl Sunday
In case anyone was wondering, no, my bi-weekly Star Trek ‘book‘ club does not reschedule because of the Superbowl

I experienced this yesterday and had a good laugh. Thought ‘hey maybe that’s just an any politician thing?’ Nah, Obama booed shows 4 results: two are the same event worded different, other is merely ‘heckled’

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once
Horrifying. ICE confirms measles outbreak at Dilley family detention center. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-dil...
ICE halts "all movement" at Texas detention facility due to measles infections
The measles cases at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center were detected Friday, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to CBS News.

Aronofsky, like anyone in a creative field who uses generative AI, should be regarded as a class traitor and shunned. If you don't believe in the fundamental value of human artistic expression, you are undeserving of the community of your peers. ESPECIALLY in as collaborative an art form as film.

I saw Oedipus for the second time last night, this time from THE front row. My appreciation for Mark Strong has only grown exponentially and I got to be right down the barrel of Lesley Manville monologuing, incredible. It’s in its last week now and worth braving the cold for, NYC

It's always nice when Shea Whigham shows up in a movie. I wonder if Hollywood has considered just having him on retainer to be in all movies.

I have zero power in my own industry, but if PTA (who IS powerful) doesn’t comment on his movie, which is about battling authoritarian, white supremacist forces of evil, then what are we even doing over here? We in the arts have a major responsibility most of us aren’t exercising
