I am extremely biased, but Emily Watson is just phenomenal in Hamnet. What a presence, always.
A still frame from the film Hamnet (2025 dir. Chloé Zhao) showing Emily Watson in character as Mary Shakespeare, the mother of William Shakespeare.

I was moved to tears attending this special Yom Kippur service last night with my daughter. We tore cloth to express our grief+anger in the face of overwhelming death. We placed stones to say we are here, we will not forget, we will act. We refuse to be silent. These are the traditions we pass down.
Countless pieces of torn white cloth are tied to the marble pillars at Brooklyn Borough Hall. The ancient practice of tearing clothes is a tangible expression of grief and anger in the face of death. A child and her parent each hold small stones in their hands. A funeral tradition to bind the memory of the dead through the presence of the living.

DSA logo, a handshake in front of a rose: “The red rose is part of DSA's logo, having been a symbol of socialism since the 1886 Haymarket Affair and resulting May Day marches. It was drawn from the logo of DSOC, its precursor organization, and previously of the Socialist International, which shows a stylized fist clenching a red rose, the fist replaced by a biracial handshake pertaining to DSA's anti-racism. The fist and rose logo was originally designed for the French Socialist Party in 1969 and later shared by socialist and labor political organizations worldwide.”

My favorite moment from the Tony Gilroy 92NY ANDOR conversation last night:

Q: How can you tell a compelling story when the audience already knows the hero dies?
Tony Gilroy: Well…..You’re going to die……
Tony Gilroy and Josh Horowitz sit on stage at the 92NY. A packed audience, seated in the foreground. The backdrop screen reads: Michael Clayton’s Tony Gilroy in conversations with MTV’s Josh Horowitz on entering the Star Wars Universe: Andor

I loved this film and you should seek us out, especially if you love cats and animation and Myst (like me)
Poster for the animated feature Flow, a film by Giants Zilbalodis. A drawing of a black cat fully submerged in water as tropical fish encircle it. The cat has big golden eyes and it appears to be looking right at us. Majestic and surreal
