@prolekult.bsky.social don’t seem to post here much but I want to highlight this channel as being one of the best creators of original feature length documentaries of *very* high quality about the world’s condition. Their most recent, For Land, part 1 of a planned 3 is harrowingly brilliant! 🤩

Yo…I have to imagine that people pointed it out at the time of its release, but the whole Marta throws up if she lies thing in Knives Out is an absolutely ridiculous and lazy writing device. So much of Blanc’s detective work relies on it being an absolute truth and that’s really stupid…😒

My favorite pictures/vids I’ve seen today are: dogs watching the dog show; Bruce Lee; and people showcasing their pies 🥧

In my opinion, Ibn Khaldûn doesn't get the respect deserved...

Same for Zera Yacob

Tho I have seen a few folks giving Khaldûn some attention, less so for Yacob.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

"The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles. The master class has had all to gain and nothing to lose, while the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose—especially their lives."

What is this fucking movie!? 😂 That shitty song keeps playing…and that dude with all the hats that no one asks about 🤷‍♂️
Been seeing a lot of references to Mazes & Monsters, which I’ve never seen…so, I am now going to watch it 💁‍♂️

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

This rant from the British newspaper columnist and broadcaster Melanie Phillips is insane. It is hateful. It is nauseating. And it is instructive.

I wrote a book about how to think about the unconscious in early modern metaphysics of mind as a way of getting at problems around ideology and akratic desire that I think is pretty neat 😌 edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-the-unc...

Yup. It’s bad. I actually think some aspects of the changes were good. Sue being adopted by a black family works imo. The effects for the 4 were decent as well. But jaysus…Doom is horrifically bad. The story itself was junk and the acting wasn’t much better.
I am now going to subject myself to the 2015 Fantastic Four movie for the first time 🧐

Was it "high cinema"?

Well, I suppose that depends on your definition...do you think Nazis getting torn apart by the embodiment of relentlessness is high cinema? Then this movie is definitely for you!

Either way, it's a fun time and I'm wondering what the sequel will be like 🤩
Watching Sisu for the first time. I like watching Nazis get absolutely murked 🤩

With next to no support @melbuer.bsky.social is doing the kind of labor reporting which is absolutely essential - I've just signed up as a supporter and if you chip in during the holiday season you get a discount off an annual membership. Help keep labor reporting alive!
It's the end of the year, which means everyone is holding a fundraiser, and I am no exception, lmao.

I have some goals that I'm still working on meeting through the end of 2026. Help me get to 1000 subs and I will personally fight your boss👊 (jokes, jokes...)
This holiday season, I'm passing the hat
A plea for sustained support.
