A non-consumerist documentary project drifting through the spectacle, noting the marginal, and refusing to let belief limit surprise.

Thankful for the new followers!

FAQ: Shot on a single handheld camera, This is Now breaks from the normie monoform, leaning into authenticity and dérive. No lower thirds, narration, stock music, sound effects, or archival footage—think Slacker meets Dogme 95.

Andor isn’t just the best thing Star Wars has done—it might be some of the most vital art of the 21st century. A radical story about revolution, sacrifice, and ordinary people as history comes knocking. Creator Tony Gilroy talking revolutionaries ;)

"It doesn’t open with spectacle exactly—just the rumor of a dead body, a bizarrely on-point Bette Davis line, and a setup so perfect it begged for an NSFW joke. We’re not back to explain the world. We’re back to be in it."
Some people thought Series Two might never see the light, especially after everything that unraveled post-DNC Chicago. But This is Now was never about sticking to the script.

I said it then, I’ll say it again. If you weren’t pro-Occupy Wall Street, you were anti-democracy.
America is finally being run like a business: a business acquired by private equity, leveraged to the hilt, its assets gutted, workforce slashed, and pensions raided before it gets offloaded in a fire sale. Hope you like working gig jobs for stock options in a company that won’t exist in five years.

Thoughtful article examining how two seemingly incompatible novels "True Grit" and "The Crying of Lot 49" immerse their protagonists—and us—in systems that are unstable, inscrutable, and often indifferent. #booksky 💙📚
