Upfront compensation from A listers is one of the reasons why movies are so expensive, and effects.

It’s a choice but it brings in $$$.

But the Duplass bros made Baltimorons for like $5 and a cake and it was great!

This has been bothering me all day because the obvious point of No Kings is to show we have the power to do a color revolution if they don‘t honor the results of future elections.

The other point is to radicalize fence-sitters by having people who are *clearly doing nothing wrong* be tear gassed

Hemry, Local Bartender @bartenderhemry.bsky.social · 1d

This is exactly backwards, the no kings protests are a mass movement of regular people that have every republican politician in the country raging about "hate America rallies," and the online protest industry weirdos who say shit like "radlib" to each other are the ones skimming off the top of them

it is no wonder that 50501, a movement of radlibs who are very upset but don’t want to get in trouble, would be boosting superficial activism.

superficial activism has its place, but if that place is front and center, it kills whatever movement it is skimming off the top of.

Note that the Satmar excommunicated the Neturei Karta (an even stricter conservative group who non-Jews fetishize for their anti-Zionism) for participating in the Iranian regime’s Holocaust denial conference.

Anyway what’s extra funny is that Cuomo disparaged Sukkot and they chose Sukkot to back his rival.

They backed Cuomo (Despite how he handled the pandemic) in the primary and more or less flipped to Mamdani. Everyone was afraid of Cuomo winning because he’s vindictive and the calculus was that Mamdani wouldn’t be.

The Satmar are a movement within Hasidic Orthodox Judaism. Within that space they are quite restrictive in their approach to living a Jewish life.

This makes them *politically* non- to anti-Zionist. If the messiah were to come they would be.

Generally their votes are swayed by the hyper local.

Jews love multiple layers of meaning so here are multiple layers to why this is interesting:

Sorry I was expecting somethingelse where we would be shown a Baltimorean speaking in an accent which is what I would think “POV” implies

Yes!

Not really, it doesn’t really mention “plague” more “signs and marvels/signs” And iirc “10 marvels/signs” became 10 plagues

Also she’s a known quantity and he hasn’t been vetted, which a strong primary will do!

The whining about Janet Mills jumping into the Maine Senate race is pretty hard to take. It's fine and healthy for our candidates to run in contested primaries. It's dangerous to simply nominate people by acclamation based on internet vibes. Mills isn't even bad, she's just extremely old.
