So what I hear you saying is that A24's newest film Eternity (2025), starring gay-icon-able actress Elizabeth Olsen and swoonable Callum Turner, and also for some reason Miles Teller, is a baffling mix of heteronormativity and homopanic—got it. (I'll leave you to search for nude photos of CT. SIgh.)

Couldn't be happier to become one of the (minor heads) on the Flaming Hydra. Writing about Death By Lightning, growing up in Ohio, Hungarian film tax incentives—the usual.

This is petty, but I am mildly disappointed that a 6'3" actor wasn't cast as Ilya Rosanov.

There are many things to say about Wuthering Heights (1847), but to call it (as did one contemporary review) a "compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors" gets it just right, I think.
It is really that good.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

BREAKING: As part of his contempt inquiry, Judge Boasberg orders DHS Sec Kristi Noem and other officials to submit declarations by 12/5 attesting to their actions relating to the decision not to turn around March 15 Alien Enemies Act flights.

![United States v. Young, 107 F.3d 903, 907 (D.C. Cir. 1997) (quoting United States v. NYNEX
Corp., 8 F.3d 52, 54 (D.C. Cir. 1993)).
In conducting such inquiry, Plaintiffs submit that the Court should "require the
government to promptly file declarations) identifying all individuals involved in the decision not
to halt the transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025." ECF No. 193 (Pl. Resp.) at 1. "[O]nce these declarations are filed and depending on what
information they disclose, the Court should then determine the appropriate sequence of witness
testimony, and the manner in which that testimony should be provided." Id. The Government
similarly notes: "If the Court believes any further information is needed for [its inquiry],
Defendants respectfully request an opportunity to provide that information to the Court by way
of declarations in the first instance (as even Plaintiffs agree is appropriate)." Def. Resp. at 1.
The Court will adopt the parties' agreement on starting with declarations; it will then
assess the need for witness testimony. It therefore ORDERS that by December 5, 2025, the
Government shall submit declarations from all individuals involved in the decision not to halt the
transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025. Such
declarations shall detail their roles in such decision.
