One of the minor perks of presenting at WWDC the last four years is that Apple has accidentally given me the world's highest-budget transition timeline.
MOKSHA (the logline)
In the late 22nd century, a queer Indian-American man uses psychedelic science to lead humanity to its new interstellar home, but must first confront his past after receiving a message rom Earth about his estranged mother and her mass ritual suicide cult.

Lydia Tár belittled a pangender BIPOC student. She groomed young women. One of them committed suicide.
This morning she got multiple Oscar nominations. Please tell me again how cancel culture is real.
