It's official: buying isnt owning
Which means piracy isn't theft

still having “firsts” in 98 years despite being half the population

[Alina Stefanescu @aliner]

The Berlinale doesn’t need a Wenders right now— it needs a Fassbinder. We all need a reminder of why art shouldn’t just be “entertainment” or “content” but instead must offer radical contestations of the given. Our world is unsustainable. Platitudes are USELESS.

these are the type of privileges i randomly remember i have and then i burst into tears because we’ve have really come such a long way. forever grateful to all the women who shaped this path for me.

This is it. Sure; I don’t expect every celeb to have a nuanced take on politics but saying things like “I’m apolitical” or “Just stick to cinema” when your own colleagues are being imprisoned or banned from working is just not how we should be moving in the world.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds.

centuries of women before me have yearned to taste the freedom i get to experience nowadays by being able to say no to marriage/children and choose my own path with full agency, and i will never take that for granted. they live through me

From a Fermi Paradox perspective, this is great and terrible news.
Terrible, as the Paradox is stronger than ever.
Great, because whatever filter causes the Paradox is more likely to be early in our evolutionary history rather than in the future (humanity already passed the test)

Aaand this is why I don't trust the sudden onset of the idea that "college is a scam". It's not a coincidence that higher education has started losing its value in society's eyes now that women outperform men.

RIP Homayoun Ershadi, unforgettable in Taste of Cherry 🕊️

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

The great Homayoun Ershadi, most known for his sublime performance in Abbas Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry, has passed away. An immeasurable loss for Iranian cinema.

you can go vegan, boycott AI, fast fashion, and plastic and only take the bus for the rest of your life and the US military will undo it all in like 30 minutes because they want Venezuela's oil

Islamic University of Gaza is where I visited Refaat Alareer’s English literature class and filmed him teaching young Palestinians about the Shakespeare character Shylock in order to liberate their minds from Zionism-inspired antipathy toward Jews. It was one of the most inspiring moments of my life.

Now the fake “Jewish state” has murdered Alareer and destroyed his sanctuary of teaching.

[Valerie Zink @valeriezink]

I can’t in good conscience continue to work for Reuters given their betrayal of journalists in Gaza and culpability in the assassination of 245 our colleagues.
