One of the great pleasures of True Grit is the faces everyone makes as they realize nobody has ever verbally destroyed them before like 14-year old Mattie Ross.

Grey-haired clerk seated at desk getting his ass absolutely handed to him by Hailee Steinfeld's character, who is glimpsed from the back seated opposite him.

Matt Damon's pompous Texas Ranger getting cut right down to size by Mattie Ross

Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn getting fully rinsed by Mattie Ross.

Barry Pepper as Lucky Ned Pepper (lol only realizing as I type this the surname connection) somewhat amused at getting wrecked by Mattie Ross.

I love reading good history/historical analysis, etc, and here's a good piece, worth reading.

America didn’t win WWII through “inferior tech," it won through organization, integration, and strategy, as well as the myth that Nazi Germany’s “exquisite” weapons outclassed the Allies, and critiques how the media keeps misusing history to sound profound. My latest⬇️

Honestly even if COVID never existed, if someone told me that I could do this one easy trick to keep people’s germs out of my face on public transit and reduce my exposure to illness by like 70%, fuck yeah I would have done it. Being sick stinks.

The word “antifa” isn’t new.

It was coined in the 1920’s after a group of Italian anti-fascists began organizing to counter the growing fascism in Italy.

It was submitted for consideration by one of Merriam-Webster’s lexicographers in 1955.

I’m proud to continue this more than 100 year tradition.

Zohran, would you please be my mayor? You’d be doing us a very big favor…well this track really has a lot of flavor 🎶

amazing opening

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. You’d be New York City’s first Muslim mayor. You’d be its first democratic socialist mayor.

I wouldn’t actually be the first democratic socialist mayor.

Who would it be?

David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist.

Thank you for the correction.

Very welcome.

Miss Major didn't need the government's permission to be herself — and neither do any of us.

We'll honor her trailblazing legacy by keeping up the fight for full trans freedom, for as long as it takes.

Graphic with a quote that reads "I'm free now. I don't need permission from outside my front door. Fuck that shit. I am free now." The quote is attributed to Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, in 2022 responding to a question about when trans people will be liberated"
To the right of the quote is a black and white photo of Miss Major, a transgender woman in a dress smiling.

Twitter refugees, note well: they're not called "tweets" here. Call them tweets and you're likely to be yelled at. Posts on Bluesky are called "missives." Reposts are called "rememberances" and replies are called "addendums." Replying to a post with a single emoji is called a "turd drop"
