Peter Watkins has died, one of the greatest and least known and most uncompromising filmmakers, a life well lived fighting power. www.bfi.org.uk/features/pet...
Peter Watkins obituary: radical British filmmaker behind The War Game and Punishment Park
The maverick filmmaker and pioneer of the docudrama, whose anti-establishment works redefined political cinema and challenged the very language of mass media, has died aged 90.

This has very narrow salience but “Operation Nothing But Net” is a good pun by itself, needs no embellishment.

simply a brilliant blog from @redford.bsky.social on billionaire bootlicker bari weiss taking over cbs news
defector.com/bari-weiss-s...
In the process, Weiss gets to continue two of her lifelong passion projects: trying to get people fired, and mainstreaming previously verboten ideological strands, like how the Nazi salute means something else or how genocidal starvation is actually fine. Even in the most generous reading—where her entire career and indeed life might reflect anything more than the cold calculus of a pure cynic who wants the approval and patronage of the world's richest and vainest reactionaries—Weiss's entire worldview is in the negative. She positions herself as a freewheeling intellectual and iconoclast, taking on the stilted orthodoxies of liberal power, but the irony is that her effectiveness is totally circumscribed by the limits of that orthodoxy. She does not have an original thought in her head, merely a list of supposed excesses and hypocrisies riddling the elite liberal world.

The Adobe account asks "what inspires you" Response: "Not you. take CURSE OF RA" followed by a bunch of hieroglyphs that would probably break your screen reader. Much like the curse of Ra might.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

@adriansdigitalbasement.com I have a question for you about the Panasonic PBXs you’ve tested (KX-TA824) — do they have enough power to ring a classic mechanical (non-proprietary) single line phone?

Got to hand it to Bari Weiss, who is a sub-mediocre writer and totally off-the-rack thinker but an absolutely elite teacher's pet and true-blue snitch. You can make a good career even in a dying industry that way, provided you don't somehow develop a conscience.

The president of Columbia agreed to Trump's demands to purge all academic freedom re Palestine but then privately said she'd slow walk them, which immediately leaked to Bari Weiss's outlet, so then the board purged her too

White House tweet using a Studio Ghibli-style meme showing an ICE officer with a woman in handcuffs as she's crying. The quote-tweet includes the words: Virginia Basora-Gonzalez, a previously deported alien felon convicted of fentanyl trafficking, was arrested by @ICEgov in Philadelphia after illegally reentering the U.S. She wept when taken into custody (picture attached).

this is their response to an Oscar-winning filmmaker being kidnapped and assaulted explicitly because he won an Academy Award. Disgraceful.

AMPAS has issued a new statement that basically says: “we will continue to say nothing.” they don’t even bother mentioning Hamdan Ballal — an Oscar winner!!! — by name.
“Dear Academy members, At the heart of the Academy's mission is a commitment to honoring excellence in the motion picture arts and sciences and connecting the world through the power of cinema. We do this through our work on the Oscars, our exhibitions and programs, our preservation and education efforts, and so much more. We believe deeply in the ability of film to illuminate, to provoke thought, and to bridge divides by offering a window into diverse human experiences.” “We fundamentally believe that film has the power to enlighten global audiences and highlight different perspectives - and we encourage our members to use their art to do so. The Academy condemns harming or suppressing artists for their work or their viewpoints. We are living in a time of profound change, marked by conflict and uncertainty - across the globe, in the U.S., and within our own industry. Understandably, we are often asked to speak on behalf of the Academy in response to social, political, and economic events. In these instances, it is important to note that the Academy represents close to 11,000 global members with many unique viewpoints.” “We are, however, united in a shared belief in the importance of storytelling, in the value of empathy, and in the role of film as a catalyst. As an organization, our focus continues to be the celebration of creative voices that make up the global film community - and supporting your freedom to create, to challenge, and to imagine. We remain steadfast in this work, and we are grateful to walk alongside each of you in it. Bill Kramer and Janet Yang”
