@movierabbithole @sbodrojan this scene purposefully breaks the rule as a utility, though. it’s literally the first and main scene in which the joker tries to draw parallels between himself and batman. the inversion of their positions the frame thus makes sense, and the film doesn’t do it again.

Tim Dillon on America: “We’re not the high school bully anymore. We’re the weird kid who may have a gun. We’re not the bully, we’re not the jock, we’re not the quarterback. This is not Top Gun, we are not Tom Cruise. We’re the college kid who keeps going to the high school parties. We’re a pedophile and we may have a gun”

Sandra Hüller on if she "feels the guilt" of Germany's past:

"Yes, I feel the guilt every day. And also I never get bored of it, to feel the guilt because it's necessary to act right." https://t.co/pLTs62rQIv

“Euphoria” is “an extreme, often-disgusting vision of a rapacious, pitiless America where everyone is fighting for scraps before Empire finally collapses and God turns off the lights,” Naomi Fry writes. https://t.co/wbZ5FGVXia

his family has abused the law and benefited from real estate money doing work for them for decades now. it’s insane that opposition politicians aren’t using every opportunity they can to rage bait and embarrass him

why doesn’t marit stiles call this guy a former drug dealer trust fund baby every chance she gets? there’s absolutely no reason his past as an unscrupulous mooch shouldn’t be weaponized against him when he does stuff like this

#Exclusive: Doug Ford cited abuse of OSAP as one reason for its overhaul. Here’s what new data actually shows https://t.co/HeFnRAE8j7

using my therapist card here so people listen to say that watching porn and masturbating are both completely normal and healthy things to do regularly. sex-negativity is not a healthy response to the nuance surrounding women’s exploitation—and saying all SW is bad is bullshit.

[Jake Kivanç @JakeKivanc]

@rveedotte @criticofpolecon totally fair assessment that i agree with

[Jake Kivanç @JakeKivanc]

@flickr2754 @socialistadri @hasanthehun Ahhh so it’s okay for violent revolution if it’s governments ran by brown leftists, not cool against white fascists. Understood

[Educated Stupid @C0untryDick]

canadian conservatives are the most sauceless people you have ever met

[Jake Kivanç @JakeKivanc]

truly awful take lol

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

MTG sacrificed her political career to stand against genocide, against Trump, against the Epstein Class, and to defend the survivors of Epstein’s trafficking. If that doesn’t earn credibility I don’t know what possibly could.

This is like Cypher eating the steak in The Matrix, regretting ever taking the red pill. "After nine years, you know what I realize? ... Ignorance is bliss."

@edwardrow champagne is one of the most sus elements of the carney govt. and it disturbs me deeply that he’s the finance minister

[Edward Row 𓃡 @edwardrow]

sounds a whole lot like “generating value” literally just means selling off public assets to Champagne

CTV: What if [a windfall profits tax on big oil] deflates them?

Avi Lewis: Tell the family where 1 in 4 Canadians is skipping a meal .. to feed their kids, that an industry making $90B in profits this year can’t afford to pay a little bit more. I’m sorry I just don’t accept it.

Jon Favreau questions DNC Chair Ken Martin on why he won't release the DNC's autopsy on the 2024 election.

[john @johnsemley3000]

interesting scenes in downtown Toronto. a pro-Trump/Israel/fake Shah Reza II march featuring Make Iran Great Again hats, Trump 2028 flags and, of course, a novelty regime change Corvette.

@criticofpolecon also excited to dive into your stuff, this looks awesome

[Jake Kivanç @JakeKivanc]

@criticofpolecon As much as I am skeptical based on what projects end up being approved, this approach to me has long seemed like the most obvious way to counter people who think widespread spending on ambitious government infrastructure projects is socialism or whatever.
