Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

I watched Breathless for the 1st time in preparation for Nouvelle Vague. I found Breathless fascinating & worth watching but it didn’t wow me. However, NV’s imagining of the making of Breathless is amazing & fun. Zoey Deutch is a revelation in a movie that is filled with naturalistic acting.

Faced with the results of the elections and Trump’s lame duck status, will GOP congress members start to assert some independence from Trump’s policies?

I just finished Lawless by @leahlitman.bsky.social. It took a while to finish not because it’s hard to read or because it’s not well written. The opposite is true. It took a while because what the Court is doing is so depressing. 1/

People: I hate magic. It’s so fake. There is always some gimmick.

People: Vertical videos are phony and staged. I mean, who’s filming it.

People: The media is so biased. They only tell half the story.

People: Hey, look at this great AI video on Sora. So cool

Now that ICE has $$$ for new “agents” let’s review:

1. Shitty job that no one would really want to do (i.e., being American gestapo)

2. Unskilled labor

So Trump just took us to war without a clear objective and strategy. You can only lose if you have no set aim. And you never know when it over

What Trump and DOGE are doing is incompatible with American capitalism. People need to be relatively healthy and content in order to buy stuff. And buying stuff is what America is all about.

Discussing her resignation in a post on LinkedIn, Frey wrote: “Today the executive partner of my former firm sent us all an "update" that attempted to convince some of the best minds in the legal profession that he did us a solid by capitulating to the Trump administration's demands…”

BTW, wouldn’t giving condoms to Hamas be a good idea? I mean, we do want less Hamas

@eringloriaryan.bsky.social I loved your How We Got Here series on the What a Day feed. You & Max made great mini documentaries that were excellently written and entertainingly presented. I’m sorry to see it go. I hope you continue doing more stuff like this (like your This Fucking Guy series).

I was thinking about how BlueSky could monetize. Because there are different feeds, they could set up a shopping feed that has ads. But on top of that you could customize your stores and have discussions about where to shop for different items and write reviews, etc. Or opt out by subscription

Pundits (translated): Trump voters were either ignorant, stupid, or racist.

Dems: How do we make podcasts for ignorant and dumb people?

We recently watched #NowhereSpecial. It was a very sad movie but so special. This was a couple of weeks after we saw #HisThreeDaughters. As a father with 3 kids, my point of view for HTD was the dad. So the dad scene was especially effective. These 2 movies make a very nice thematic pairing #FilmSky
