‘…as Fischer shows in The Last Kings of Hollywood, Coppola, Lucas, and Spielberg are worth isolating and studying as a trio. In doing so, he derives a fresh idea from a period that has already been exhaustively studied …Fischer demonstrates the evergreen value of collaboration.’

One Spanish performance and the US acts culturally blindsided.
Meanwhile Europe casually hosts a yearly chaos festival of 40 nations singing in 25 languages and calls it entertainment.
Translation: it’s not a language barrier.
It’s a worldview limit.

The so-called “SAVE Act,” a dangerous voter suppression bill, is the latest GOP deception. #VoteNoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes
Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “a form of ID issued consistent with the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the US…” 1/

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
