If you guys are getting frothing mad at a *Robert Eggers movie* you’re ngmi
A new werewolf film is currently being recorded and there are some set photos... are we taking bets on this film having the blue filter, it's never sunny and pretty much everything and everyone is constantly being covered in muck?

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Are their board members in the files?
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

If I could reduce all my political ideas to one sentence, it would be this: You can't leave a bad system intact, and leave all the abusive and awful people created by that system unpunished, and maintain the same fuel that powered that system, and expect things to be different in the future.

Aleksandr Ptushko's THE SWORD AND THE DRAGON (1956)
I don't care for this Soviet fantasy movie's jingoism, but it's a staggering visual spectacle. Using something so rad as fodder for goofy jokes is MST3K at its Razzies-est.

The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups

How AP News whitewashes genocide.
TESTING THE CEASEFIRE??
Israel is *BREAKING* the ceasefire. Do you really think this would be the headline if Hamas killed 24 Israelis?
AP doesn’t even have the integrity to say Israel killed Palestinians. “Are dead” is passive to avoid attributing liability.
