FINALLY, I’ve made a Substack and am quite excited to share my first post: Intro + The Standouts, aka my favorite first-time watches of 2025’s first half (and some backstory of yours truly/my film journey).

Really wish y’all would just read about the decades long history of Black people speaking up on Palestine instead of acting like this is something new.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Like… How actively ignorant, how deliberately disingenuous does everyone have to be in 2026 to pretend they don’t know about or can’t access this recent history??

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched ➡️

Will never forget the wave of terror this spread throughout Beirut and throughout Lebanon, and how quickly the maiming of thousands, including many children, turned into a sick joke amongst Americans and Israelis.

I distinctly remember reading this interview in 2019 and deciding I would never take anything this guy said seriously ever again

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Classic AOC:

She proudly tells TMZ on cue that she won't listen to Ed Sheeran's music anymore because of his cowardice on Israel.

But her candidate for House Speaker is Hakeem Jeffries, AIPAC's most loyal soldier who funded, armed and defends Israel's genocide.

Few are better at feeding gullible fans vapid, cheap and meaningless culture war slop, while doing the exact opposite when it actually matters.

[Pedro Martinez @45PedroMartinez]

Roberto Clemente wasn’t just a hero to Puerto Rico but to all of us. He spoke on behalf of Latin American players and of people. He was the light at the end of the tunnel for all of us, and I’m here because of him.

We should all understand that baseball goes beyond the sport we play.

[Richard Brody @tnyfrontrow]

Four years to the day since the passing of Jean-Luc Godard, who is still best known and most celebrated for the greatest hits of the sixties while some of his best work, from 1970s videos to films from 1980 on, remains obscure, unshown, unappreciated, and, worst of all, unloved.

A. S. Hamrah (critic, USA)

[Carolyn Hinds 🇧🇧 #FreePalestine #CongoInCrisis @CarrieCnh12]

It's utterly disgraceful that in proping up Johnathan Glazer and the directors for this new film, Variety never mentions Hamdan Ballal the Palestinian co-director of NO OTHER LAND who was violently beaten by Israeli settlers and taken by IOF last Match after winning the Oscar.

Ok I clown the athlete Top 4 videos but there’s a pick here that genuinely shocked me (complimentary)

[Letterboxd @letterboxd]

Leonard Williams, Rashid Shaheed, A.J. Barner, Abraham Lucas, Elijah Arroyo and Byron Murphy II of the Seattle Seahawks give their four favorite films. The defending Super Bowl champions @Seahawks kickoff the 2026 NFL season tomorrow vs. the New England Patriots at 5pm PT on @NBCSports.

No amount of celebrity blood money can hide that these markets are insider trading machines that profit off the degradation of our world

Hope the check was worth it!

[Saul Williams @SaulWilliams]

My 1st work of non-fiction, Songs My Mother Taught Me: Why The Artist Must Take Sides - is out today wherever books are sold! I’ve never considered myself hiding behind poems, yet the straightforward prose and personal stories in this book have me feeling a bit naked lol.

Rebadow and Busmalis are so important to the show — a much-needed source of relief (as defined by the show’s environment) in the mostly grim world

[jon? @jonmosphere]

Started my rewatch of Oz this month. Haven’t seen it in like 15 years.

TV shows used to have Željko Ivanek in them!

[jon? @jonmosphere]

Guess that ghoul’s 15 mins of fame are getting extended

[Nima Shirazi @WideAsleepNima]

This is an appalling article - straight-up pro-genocide propaganda.

The label of genocide is not "Mark Ruffalo's interpretation"; it's the overwhelming consensus of human rights organizations and genocide scholars around the world. @Variety never mentions this.

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Today, like every other day, Israel is murdering children simply because they are Palestinians.

Maaaaaaaan

10 years ago today, Isaiah Rashad dropped ‘The Sun's Tirade.’

In our 2016 interview with @isaiahrashad, he shared, "I wanted to make something for when I was having a sh*tty day—something to play to make me feel good."
