just to expand on Arendt's whole banality of evil thing: this entire climate crisis, gaza genocide and a great deal of past and modern white supremacy and colonizer bullshit coasts on social processes made possible by careerism and respectability politics. the road to right now has been so polite, so professional

Seems I was on the right track in my criticism of the movie poster, clearly designed to appeal to the "bros" probably because the studio's marketing data revealed there was going to be a problem getting the misogynist bros into theaters to watch this at a rate similar to the previous entry in the franchise.

What critics are calling for is not censorship, as executive editor Joe Kahn pretends, but a recognition that the paper is not merely holding up a mirror to the world, but making choices about what’s important for readers to know—and that those choices have real-world consequences.

Trump would let states monitor pregnancies and prosecute people who violate abortion bans.

He would use the National Guard to deport undocumented people.

He might fire US Attorneys who refused to prosecute his enemies.

None of this is conjecture. He said these things himself.

Most BLM protesters were white people advocating for Black civil rights.♥️ All their lives, they thought that they had the 1st amendment right to protest, because they had seen white supremacists march without being beaten by cops. They didn't realize that the right to free speech depends heavily on what you are speaking about, and who you are speaking for.

Now I'm seeing college professors and students learn the same lesson about what US cops will do to you if you speak up for the wrong thing.

This article confirms my worst fear of the depicting an unearned adoration of the in general, given its utter failure since at least the 1980's to consistently name people and things as they are and to "speak truth to power", at least here in the .

Apparently director follows the disproven ethos of "objectivity", which avoids responsibility for stating truths, ignoring that such "silence" always sides with oppression

I started watching a video on the channel titled "What Civil War is Really About" which starts by defending Garland with the argument that everyone in the agrees on one thing, regardless of our , that we don't want a tyrannical .

That perspective suits (mostly) white people (white men, especially) and is a deliberate lie that ignores the truth that much, if not most, of 's appeal has always been his promise and attempts to act tyrannically.

yes they are kissing but… their handssssssssss

overhead shot of Marta and Fina lying in bed facing each other - Marta’s hands are on Fina’s waist, one underneath her body and wrapped around to grasp the right side of her waist and the other resting on top of her left hip/waist. Marta has really attractive hands, I can’t explain it. Fina has her left hand at first resting on Marta’s upper waist/ribcage then moves it up to grasp the side of Marta’s face as they kiss. Her other hand snakes under Marta’s head against the pillow and also grasps her face. Lots of hands. They kiss and each pull the length of their bodies closer against each other front to front. I’m gay.

@shippychaos Yes, I just finished it last night and it's a good show that builds to some hot scenes towards the end.

Also, there's Clementine, which has a totally different vibe and isn't quite as solid (or hot), but it's an interesting movie worth watching, imo.

Easter dinner with the family, as I have just finished walking through my scone recipe…

Mom: “What are cookies?”
Me: “Uh… baked treats often high in sugar with various textures?”
80-year-old Aunt: “Drugs. She means drugs.”
Mom: “No, when I try to pay something and it asks me if I want cookies.”
Me: “Ohhhhh… in your browser.”
Mom: “Whatever. Why does it want me to choose cookies?”

I suppose it was better than changing printer toner as far as holiday tech support goes.
