Before it was "Siskel & Ebert."

Before it was "Sneak Previews" (which I religiously watched every Friday night created in Chicago by WTTW).

It originally premiered as "Opening Soon At A Theatre Near You," Happy 50th Anniversary to my first film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert.

it’s vitally important for the future of this country that this wildly unpopular administration is tied directly to its enablers in congress and the courts and used to discredit the entire conservative movement

1965.

Fuzz guitar, baritone saxophone, hammond organ, kick drum - the solos in the middle of this Get Smart rendition are just too much:

Grizzlies are 7-12. Zach Edey has played six games and the team hasn't lost his minutes in any of them. (A silly +39 in an overtime win tonight.)

Feels like the national conversation pulled the plug on the team with the bad start and all the Ja stuff, but there's something percolating with Edey.

It's true, and "fuck that shit" is one of the best things you can do for yourself as a man. Just let it fucking go.
The training/socialization of men starts instantly and goes hard. Everything you might like is too gay, too feminine. You are required to hate yourself for being insufficiently masculine, to blame others for that feeling, and to hate everyone who doesn't "respect" your manliness.

An MIT report concluded that producing 5 seconds of AI video is like running a microwave for an hour.

This video is 53 seconds long; the appropriate energy of an 11 hour long microwave session if that study is accurate.

So...maybe we should stick to old fashioned before and after photos.
Striking animation showing the magnitude of glacier collapse since ca 1900 in the Alps! 🧊🔥

All the retreat you see here is caused by human activity, and it will only stop when the last cubic metre of ice has melted! 📈💧

I’m so bothered by the Leavitt family story that I had to shake up how I even describe these people.

The word is “dirty.”

You want the mother of your grandson who came here as a child deported to a country where she has nothing?

You’re a fucking dirty little freak. You’re not like the rest of us.

This holiday season, between the recent upending of SNAP benefits and increasing economic uncertainty, people are hungry. Queer groups are stepping in to make sure their communities get fed.

Really proud of this piece from Priyanka Bansal. I hope you'll give it a read.
How Queer Organizers Feed Their People, from New York to Atlanta
About 42 million Americans depend on monthly SNAP benefits. Halting those electronic payments hurt childhood nutrition and distressed family budgets

You can make up to us by spreading the gospel of pavlova and lamingtons to the world (and emphatically insisting they are both Australian and not Kiwi at all).
