@SethBorman @edwards183 @pasta_nachos oh you’re SO right, the money spent by corporations to influence politics, media and public opinion has no impact on your strong, pure mind, which is immune to ideology

[The Hollywood Reporter @THR]

'Blue Heron' is the most acclaimed film of 2026, and director Sophy Romvari says its existence can be credited to grants provided by the Canadian government at both the script and production stages.

“I really did make exactly the movie I wanted to make.... When I started making work in Canada, I was not aware of the privilege of living in a country that has access to arts funding. The version of this film that I would’ve made within the American system would be very, very different — and I don’t know if that one would’ve gotten distribution.” https://t.co/3IJQEP8Mfn

@SethBorman @edwards183 @pasta_nachos health insurance companies have certainly spent a lot of money to make sure no one *ever* does it, and based on your response(s) here, we can say that’s money well spent

in college i was in a poetry workshop that culminated in Louise Gück critiquing 1 poem by each student

i selected my most gut-wrenching poem about my older sister’s death in a freak accident 2 years before

she read it, looked me in the eye, and said “so she died. what else?”

Really sad to hear of Asad Haider’s passing. Didn’t know him well, but he had an enormous impact on my politics and so so many of my comrades. The left is poorer today having lost him but richer for having had him among us. Go read him at @viewpointmag. https://t.co/eXsY6Ude1j

Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over a South Shore building. A @ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims.
