Time to revisit, haven’t seen it many years.
Basking in the lucid ever lucid and subversive mind of the great Americans can theologian and philosopher George S Romero - and his unholy trinity of evil- not zombies but racism capitalism and consumerism.

Wiseman being in Eephus is, at the very least, a great reason to revisit his movies.

Incredible movie. Loved it. Loved talking about it!
Ep.002 - We explore the quiet but hilarious brilliance of Eephus, a slow cinema masterpiece from Carson Lund and Omnes Films that reflects on community, memory, and America’s fading rituals and loss of civic spaces.

So, my wife is pregnant and has a complication making hers a high risk pregnancy.

She needs to get weekly ultrasounds to make sure everything is okay.

UnitedHealthcare is fucking with us on covering them.

Health insurance companies should not exist. We need Medicare-for-all.
I was told I could get mutiparametric MRI of prostrate to detect/rule out cancer instead of painful biopsy.

But then UnitedHealthcare--the "good" tier plan--reversed and said since I had no symptoms they wouldn't pay. I wasn't sick enough to determine how sick I was.
I went through something similar with a (medically necessary) colonoscopy a few yrs ago.

My ACA plan (at ≈$1400/mo for me + my child) approved the procedure when my PCP referred me, then unapproved it the night before.

Crowdfunding enabled me to have it—and five pre-cancerous lesions were removed.

Listening to the (probably) underrated Cliff Martinez soundtrack to Solaris on a rainy drive home with my youngest daughter.

“This sounds like music about a beautiful ghost.”

Glad to see John here. Bluesky is about to replace Twitter on my Home Screen. About fucking time…

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

As World Cup 2026 approaches, I wrote for Mundial Mag about my experiences in American soccer and how the immigrant community contributed heavily to what you’re seeing today.

Maybe algorithmic variety in the Bluesky experience will help mitigate this very Twitter tendency Jamelle describes here.
