An interview i did for INTO THE AFTERMATH after we won the Jury Prize at @BarrymoreFilm

Inspired + shot during the #pandemic lockdown + the #BLM protests that followed + the film is as much a document to 2020 as it is a work of #speculative #scifi

And nobody should be marching in the Israeli parade… especially when there is a genocide in Gaza AND the West Bank…

So kill the noise…!!!

@DiscussingFilm The problem was that lack of marketing…

The film is actually surprisingly good… it’s a historical drama about Arabia… The stunts are amazing… and the film is more of an ensemble piece than a star vehicle for Anthony Mackie…

A trifecta of mediocrity at best… A perfectly beautiful example of exactly where we are and why everything is so fucken uninteresting…

Kim Basinger publicly called out the Oscars for snubbing Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing (1990):

“There is one film missing from this list that deserves to be on it because, ironically, it might tell the biggest truth of all. And that’s Do the Right Thing.

@kittenaround_51 These people can’t be real NYer’s…

Leave a big nasty note on the car threatening a ticket and tow…

This lets the driver and everybody else know not to park in your driveway…

If you come back and the driveway is blocked then call a tow truck…

Yeah… you’re an asshole…

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇

"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation.

So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse.

A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."

@RedLineNewsUSA Biggest line of bullshit going…

@archeohistories Teddy Roosevelt the same imperialist asshole that expanded The Monroe Doctrine who claims to have charged up San Juan Hill with his Rough Riders when it was the Buffalo Soldiers that made his photo op possible…?

Lupita Nyong'o is not the first Black woman who could portray Helen of Troy.

The first was Eartha Kitt, personally chosen by Orson Welles, in a play performed in Paris in 1950.

ICE relies on private companies to help carry out its thuggery — we need to go after these corporate collaborators

Here's a list of low-lift national targets, mostly public-facing companies with relatively small ICE contracts that are set to expire soon, making them particularly vulnerable to consumer and employee pressure:

Dell ($18.8 million contract with ICE for Microsoft software licenses, expiring March 2026)

UPS ($90,500 small package delivery contract with ICE, expiring March 2026)

FedEx ($1 million delivery services contract with ICE, expiring March 2026)

Motorola Solutions ($15.6 million tactical communication infrastructure contract with ICE, expiring May 2026)

Comcast ($24,600 internet services contract for ICE Seattle office, expiring May 2026 — this could be a great fight for new mayor Katie Wilson to take on).

AT&T ($83 million IT and network contract with ICE, with a potential end date of July 2032).

LexisNexis ($21 million data-brokerage contract with ICE — this company is particularly vulnerable to pressure from university students and professor unions, since much of its revenue comes from colleges.)

Home Depot and Lowe’s are using AI-powered license plate readers and feeding this data into law enforcement surveillance systems accessible to ICE. Their parking lots are also regular sites of ICE raids targeting day laborers.

In 1983, Paul Newman stated that the American state disregards the truth, always creating exaggerated enemies to justify wars and massacres for profit, while ignoring crimes committed by other nations like Israel
