Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday.
The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal.
"My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

Heathcliff stands before a turkey at a farm, painting a canvas with an easel in his hand. On the canvas is an image of a cooked turkey on a plate. A small bird watches Heathcliff paint and says "It's something between a still life and a nude."

Comets hurtling through space? No. It's glacial ice and swirling sea foam on a black sand beach. One photo shows a wave receding, the other a wave crashing in. I don’t think I’ve ever had as much pure fun taking photographs as I had standing in the North […]

[Original post on pixelfed.social]

Vortices of white sea foam swirl off the pointed corners of a chunk of clear glacial ice and recede across the black sand.

A rush of incoming white sea foam swirls against and around a chunk of clear glacial ice that sits on soon-to-be-inundated black sand.

The Do Lung bridge scene in Apocalypse Now instantly reminded me of Hieronymus Bosch's paintings, especially the Hell panel of The Garden of Earthly Delights

Soldiers pleading for the crew of PBR Streetgang to take them home, and damning them as they pass.

“No Kings” protests by the numbers…

Y’all showed up in record numbers and sent the message loud and clear. Now let’s keep that same energy and civic fire through 2026. 🔥

My more optimistic take on the whole “did the protests do anything” debate is that here is value to showing you are not alone and that a massive number of people are willing to come out and be public even in very far right areas.

Organization takes time and a diversity of tactics is a positive.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
