Netflix Buying Warner Bros. Is Bad News For Movie Fans — But Paramount Would've Been Worse - SlashFilm
Netflix acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery is bad news for those who actually care about movies, but it is slightly better than the Paramount Skydance option.

Netflix acquiring WBD is shitty. Paramount Skydance buying WBD would've been *slightly* shittier (because it would've made Trump a de facto studio head).
Meanwhile, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social hope Liam Ramos is silently shuffled off to another country and never heard from again so they can get back to appeasing their corporate donors by courting non-existent moderate Republicans. Liam is an inconvenience to them.
Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

Unclear to me if this fucking five year old kid getting kidnapped is breaking through outside of the Twin Cities and I don’t want to speak for anyone else but this has really steeled my resolve. This shit cannot be allowed to stand.

My big upset pick for tomorrow's Academy Awards nominations: WEAPONS edges out F1. As for winners, I still think HAMNET, a typically okay-ish Chloé
Zhao movie, will take Picture. PTA will get his long-overdue Best Director Oscar.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Unspeakable cruelty. But an acceptable atrocity for spineless, corporate whore @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. He feels nothing for that child.
This is the one that ultimately got me crying. What the fuck are we doing? How are elected Dems not literally throwing their bodies in front of ICE?
Thinking of the trauma this kid will have breaks me.

Bonello is one of my favorite living filmmakers, and @scotttobias.bsky.social is right to single out the hypnotic and deeply sad HOUSE OF TOLERANCE as his best work to date. I just ask that you watch it before reading his excellent piece because that needle-drop cue is pulverizing.
The New Cult Canon: ‘House of Tolerance’
Bertrand Bonello's bold portrait of a turn-of-the-century French brothel casts the oldest profession in a new light.

This is far from the most violent or horrific image to have come out of Minneapolis, but this one has hit me particularly hard.
The kid reminds me so much of my sons at that age. I feel vaguely nauseated when I look at it. A very powerful mix of rage and sadness.
It's a devastating photo.

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

“nobody is insider trading off his death so it almost certainly didn’t happen” really sums up the state of the world in 2026 huh

I hate that this is a thing and, additionally, it true. We belong dead.
for what its worth, neither Kalshi nor Polymarket have bets on Trump eating it today, so if his inner circle isn't doing insider trading on him dying, he's probably still with us

I am not worried about nuclear war between the United States and Russia and/or China. I *am* worried about Trump rage quitting. I think most of his loyalists will sell him out. Miller? Might want to clean that boy up before you move forward.

Jay's Jayburgers in Los Angeles. A couple of basic cheeseburgers after the bars closed were sensational. My buddy Tony introduced me to this shack. Then one day it was gone. I found out later that Jonathan Gold was a fan.

Degree of difficulty, BRINGING OUT THE DEAD is Scorsese's needle-drop masterpiece. He breathes new life into two insanely over-played songs: "These Are Days" and "Red Red Wine." Just wish he'd kept "Time Has Come Today" for the hallucination sequence.
