Reich chancellor Stephen Miller has a bully, rapist and purse thief’s rationale for taking Greenland. “Oh, that old lady is not entitled to keep her purse, because she is too small to maintain hold of it while I rip it out of her hands”. Psycho.

One Battle After Another is a liberal’s critique of extremist tactics wits a redemption story for its liberal characters And a realization that peaceful resistance is better (in Willa) No problem with that but a redemption arc for a conservative character might have helped it reach more people.

Screw Hawley. Gutless coward and traitor.

What do Jack D. Ripper from Dr. Strangelove and Trump have in common. Tragically, a hell of a lot. Trump even has a subordinate who believes fluoridation of water is a dangerous conspiracy.

Oh great. Now all people from Portugal are going to be lumped into one hateful category by our asshole-in-chief.

Watching the series interview with the vampire. Much more interesting complex and multi-layered Louis than the film. The acting is better too (except for Dunst who was great in the movie.) Sexier Lestat too. Dialogue is colorful. Loving it so far.

Just saw the Harriet movie (5 years late). Flawed movie but inspiring nonetheless. Erivo is great in the role but that Stand Up song is a beauty. Better than any songs in Wicked and apparently she co-wrote it.

Michelle Obama recently said that a woman can’t win as president, and she is unfortunately correct. Sad but true. Sidenote: Fox covered this story by quoting only “ain’t ready” from her words. Those assholes are cunning in their micro-aggressions. Using casual speech into a way to ghetto-size her.

There should be a law that requires all AI videos to be labeled as such. It’s not censorship to do so. AI running rampant with no protections for us against manipulation and misinformation can lead to real life dangerous consequences.

Hard to believe this song from 80 years ago would be considered too commie for a portion of America today. Makes me sad. m.youtube.com/watch?v=B4I_...

Looking back at stars like Newman & Redford. They were “real men”, not because they liked race cars and riding horses (although they did those things) but because they were comfortable in their own skins without diminishing others who didn’t fit their molds. They seemed like decent thoughtful dudes

Question: what is the line between larger media mergers and monopolies?

Anemone trailer with Day-Lewis has an image that re-occurred multiple times in his son’s Ronan’s earlier paintings.

Just saw trailer for DDL’s new movie, Anemone. There is an image in the trailer that reminded me of his son’s paintings from about ten years ago which you can see online. This figure pops up over and over. encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn...

This contends that Russian trolls did want to create discord & sometimes posted liberal statements. But they most certainly wanted to sabotage Hillary Clinton either through influencing election results, sowing doubts about the legitimacy of her win if it happened

In the middle of watching Citizen K , the doc about anRussian oligarch (eventually imprisoned and exiled) and Putin. it seems to be about the unholy alliance between an insecure dictator and unscrupulous oligarchs.’One enables the other until the dictator wins & everyone pays. Scary forewarning
