really struck by this part. hardly any of us have time to pursue our dreams bc the bills keep getting higher and higher
Q: It does feel like the pressure to figure out how to make money is weighing on people who are coming up a lot more. Kelly Reichardt: It's funny, I was talking to my friend the other day about how in our day, if you had a trust fund or wealth, you hid it. Now, talking to these kids, they were like, “Everyone just wants to be rich.” That was not part of the working criteria for the people that I knew in bands or making films or making art. Everyone hoped that you'd be able to keep doing it somehow, but the idea that you would even be able to make a living off it, I don't remember that being in our psyche at all. But people now are paying a lot more to go to school, and they're paying a lot more for rent. I worry that young people don't have enough time to just hang out, to talk about art-making and to see art because of the amount they have to hustle to get the rent paid and what are the jobs. The corporate world has a much more of a stranglehold on everything. How do you navigate any of it with any clean hands?

Eric Adams being undeniably funny til the end
Text that reads: In a video released to social media, Adams descends the stairs at Gracie Mansion holding a large photo of his mother, with Frank Sinatra's "My Way" playing in the background.

Overhead shot of a street at night. there's a car with one woman reaching towards it and another woman standing a few feet away with her large demon son. The giant speech bubble says "I WANT EVERYTHING TO STOP!"

I love the original Superman comics. He was a straight up dickwad to all the rich businessmen/warlords who made life miserable for everyone. gonna start a thread of my favorite panels.
a businessman in a green vest, dress and pants is startled. He says "W-who are you?" Superman, in '38 era costume looks hella pissed and is marching towards him while saying "Someone you're going to wish you'd never met!"

thank you The Hours on Blu-ray for existing
screenshot of a scene from The Hours. Two women sit on a bench. One is Virginia Woolf's sister in law who is sitting straight. The other is Virginia Woolf who is snuggling into her sister in law. I added text next to the sister in law that says "The Hours on Blu-ray". The text on Virginia says "me." This attempt to meme is to express the sheer depths of my love for The Hours on Blu-ray.

interviewer asked "if you had your character's super powers, what would you do with them?" and Ebon Moss-Bachrach is now my hero
Ebon Moss-Bachrach in a chair saying "There's a handful of fascists..." "That I would just throw into outer space" Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Pedro Pascal slap hands while laughing with joy about killing fascists.

addicts are never guaranteed a long life. Ozzy got one and I'm so glad he did. Farewell our sweet Prince of Darkness.
Ozzy Osbourne with a wild mane of hair sits on a toilet with his pants by his ankles. He's got a joint in one hand and a wine glass in another and looks high as hell, eyes bulged. On his knees are drawn two faces.

my favorite part of my childhood seder is reading this poem. may this be the year we work to let every people go, free from the bonds of tyranny and fascism. #FreePalestine
a white page with two vines sporting brightly colored flowers, watermelons and prayer hand emblems. the text reads: The Prison Cell It is possible . . . It is possible at least sometimes . . . It is possible especially now To ride a horse Inside a prison cell And run away . . . It is possible for prison walls To disappear, For the cell to become a distant land Without frontiers: What did you do with the walls? I gave them back to the rocks. And what did you do with the ceiling? I turned it into a saddle. And your chain? I turned it into a pencil. The prison guard got angry. He put an end to the dialogue. He said he didn’t care for poetry, And bolted the door of my cell. He came back to see me In the morning. He shouted at me: Where did all this water come from? I brought it from the Nile. And the trees? From the orchards of Damascus. And the music? From my heartbeat. The prison guard got mad. He put an end to my dialogue. He said he didn’t like my poetry, And bolted the door of my cell. But he returned in the evening: Where did this moon come from? From the nights of Baghdad. And the wine? From the vineyards of Algiers. And this freedom? From the chain you tied me with last night. The prison guard grew so sad . . . He begged me to give him back His freedom. - Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008)
