Here is my interview with Christopher Nolan: are you a bard for a civilization at dusk?

[Jonathan Guyer @mideastXmidwest]

"Here’s the problem: today, the description of the world is always reduced to yes or no, black or white. Superficial stories. Superhero stories. One side is the good one. The other one is evil.

"But I’m not a moral lesson giver. It’s not for me to say what is right or wrong. I describe situations as honestly as possible. The way I saw it. That’s why I use my own life as material. I have seen these things myself, and now I’m telling it to you.

"Because the world is not about Batman and Robin fighting the Joker; things are more complicated than that. And nothing is scarier than the people who try to find easy answers to complicated questions."

~ Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026)

@websterkaroon i don't think this takes into account that so much of diaspora have family in Iran.

Two completely different worlds on the same red carpet: a millionaire flaunting his NBA cards worth $30 million in a Tiffany & Co. case made of white gold, diamonds, and rubies, next to an Iranian filmmaker who faces prison when he returns to Iran after the Oscars.

Plz ask Collective for Black Iranians @BlackIranians abt the anti-Blackness & racism in iran,

Plz ask Afro-Baloch, Afro-Arab & Afro-Iranians what the Aryanist iranian state has done to them & their culture,

just bcz zionists bomb a place it doesnt mean its not anti-Black,

[Lee Edwards @terronk]

Instead of the flowery obit for a dictator, read this NYT Opinion piece that interviewed 40 doctors from around Iran to recount the scale and severity of the regime’s mass murder of protestors.

This should be remembered as Khamenei’s last major act.

Isn't it fun how these two tweets were made by men on the opposite ends of the political spectrum? 🫠

@Anonymous721586 @JhaShivangam @primafacieaisha are you even aware of how violently you're offending the actual human beings of Iran who have lived under this oppression for years?

The release of the Epstein files feels less like transparency and more like a psychological operation. It overwhelms the most empathetic and intellectually engaged people with outrage and despair, while numbing everyone else into apathy and boredom.

Explained by a lawyer.

@maralkay look I think you're coming from a good place but I don't know a single Iranian who's Ok right now and you're talking "a profound fall from grace" from "the profanity crowd". Just casually othering them. Your language may not be profane, but this is violent.

[Sara @Chemtrailtem]

@DailyTabyeen @maralkay see now I want to curse you out so I get them

@websterkaroon @issathecooker Mind you he was my professor during my english lit ba. He was the most useless of them and trust me when i say we had plenty of those. He would come to class with a textbook and tell us to read it in turns like it was primary school bc he didn't couldn't be bothered to prepare:))

[Sara @Chemtrailtem]

@natalieben Thank you. 3rd of January, however, is an entirely different world from what Iranians are witnessing now. Please speak about the atrocities that occurred since.

[Sara @Chemtrailtem]

@HamzaGhaza83426 @websterkaroon you are so so ruthless.

[Maggie Lovitt @maggieofthetown]

Really, really, really good piece.
