A long engagement post but I remember growing up with the Andrea Yates story and no one ever mentioned she tried to kill herself so many times that the doctor begged Rusty to not get her pregnant again. These stories, the full ones, need to be told.
NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, tried to break through the state troopers to stop the mass deportations while shouting:
'DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE 1st AMENDMENT?'
This IS what it looks like when a leader is fighting for humanity.
🇮🇱Netanyahu at 6:00 PM: "I'm going to NYC. I'll speak truth to this hateful official. Let's see him try to arrest me."
🇺🇸Mamdani at 6:05 PM: "ICC issued a warrant. I back it. I can't arrest you. DC can. I'm asking the feds to act. NYC doesn't welcome war criminals. We will defend human dignity." 🔥🔥
Bro with metal Spine. Zohran Mamdani is now most popular leader in US.👏
I respect WIRED so much.
Tech companies are FUMING because they thought it would be positive PR for their products.
Instead WIRED is publishing articles which expose the downsides of AI and tech surveillance. And now they’re getting sued for it. Support them!
Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al-Ashqar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
He leaves behind his wife of 5 months who is expecting their first child.
this film must be dragging open ai/sam altman through hell and back because the reason behind all of these dropping this film is the people at the top of each company have investors who are linked to open ai. this is genuinely horrible news because they’re trying to censor art
Marjane Satrapi’s THE VOICES and CHICKEN WITH PLUMS are under-heralded gems. She was a visionary filmmaker, had a fantastic wit and knew how to weave a good yarn. #RIPMarjaneSatrapi
Scott Pelley fired back with a statement of his own after Nick Bilton announced that CBS News had fired the “60 Minutes” veteran:
"New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them."
"Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.
🚨BREAKING: Right-wing streamer Cam Higby was caught on video walking up to a group of protesters and pepper spraying multiple people, outside the Newark ICE Facility.
Then, as people reacted to being sprayed, an armed man pulled him away, telling him, “It’s not worth it… it’s time to go.”
Last time I checked… walking up to a group of people and spraying them with a chemical irritant is commonly charged as assault or battery.
And then, after spraying the crowd, the video show Higby, and the armed man, running into the ICE facility while agents allowed them inside.
Imagine the outrage if a left-wing activist walked up to a group of conservatives, pepper sprayed them, and then disappeared behind federal gates.
The headlines would never stop.
The law is supposed to apply equally to everyone.
Greedy LA cinephiles getting yet another magical temple of movies while the rest of us live on scraps from the garbage like common peasants. I hate you guys
