Devastating to hear about vendors taken at Swap O Rama. Back of the Yards has had no rest for weeks. Every day on assault on immigrants and anyone that is existing while Brown.

Jeff Nichols’ Take Shelter (2011) is a slow-burn vision of paranoia, faith, and collapse—where the line between prophecy and madness grows dangerously thin.

Before my first Chi Film Fest screening I turned to Joe and was like "who do you think did the voice over for the sizzle reel this year?" and then joked "what if it's Michael Shannon?" Well.....

Really genuinely love that the chi film fest has been running with so many Michael Shannon photos for festival promo despite him not having anything there this year lol

Even in the local scene, I have an easier time getting Chicago updates on Instagram than I do here, even though all the news-y Chicago accounts moved here from Twitter. And I really don't want to get news from IG lol

Far from the most egregious thing going on right now but am I imagining that since feds dropped into Chicago, news helicopters have been taking liberties flying lower and louder than they were before? Even just for traffic coverage?

Enabling those accounts and Musk's whole deal is obviously an issue. But the experience people describe makes it sound like the dark web?

It does blow my mind when someone mentions that they can't believe anyone stayed on Twitter because of the inescapable nazi content...like I *know* it's there and rampant but what are you guys doing with your feeds lol because but I almost never encounter it naturally

This ep also features me somehow figuring out how to talk more about THE INSIDER, but it also features more of me singing at the beginning, so there are pros and cons.

Listen through the end (hah) for a song from @rosswbermaniv.bsky.social!

Culture might seem a less consequential right than free assembly+ its infringement makes less spectacular news than repressive violence. But the repeal of the right to culture is grave.

The TÁR comparisons feel like they would be too obvious, but there is literally an establishing shot in the movie that includes a poster for "Mahler's 4th" and a third act monologue that might as well be a beat-for-beat rewrite of Tár's Julliard monologue.

REVIEW: I really, really, really, really, REALLY, really did not like AFTER THE HUNT. The actors try their best, but it's a tiring, self-satisfied script—and not even in the ways you'd expect. Toothless.

For the @chicagoreader.com ➡️ chicagoreader.com/film-tv/movi...

Review: After the Hunt - Chicago Reader

Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt is far too comfortably self-satisfied, resulting in something that ends up quite toothless.

Glad to be working with UMedics on a protester health and safety training tomorrow. We need more of these around the city. We’ve got great street medics in Chicago, but we’ve learned lately that we need more people to know the basics of how to care for each other in protest scenarios.
