In the Run-Up to Halloween, thought it was time for a new coat of paint.

Nobody hid the Gestapo in their attics when the Allies arrived.

Just something to keep in mind.

Actually it's worse. Miller loves De Niro and Scorsese characters and he's having a violent reaction to his hero letting him know what a vermin his is

Little baby got dunked on by the character he modeled his life after.

Stephen Miller was into mobster movies. Growing up, the walls of his bedroom were decorated with framed posters of Casino and Goodfellas—two of his favorite films. The characters in the Martin Scorsese films are largely amoral, but they live by a code. In Goodfellas, Robert De Niro’s character summed it up, “Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.” Miller occasionally styled himself after De Niro’s characters in those films. He wore a golden pinkie ring and slicked back his hair, polo shirts and button-downs with nice pants and a jacket—so he looked like a mobster.

His favorite film, Casino, was based on the life of Frank Rosenthal, a former Las Vegas casino executive, handicapper, and organized crime associate played by De Niro as Sam “Ace” Rothstein. He and his violence-prone friends have a glitzy lifestyle. Rothstein opens the film: “[I] was a hell of a handicapper, I can tell you that. I was so good, that whenever I bet, I could change the odds for every bookmaker in the country. I’m serious. I had it down so cold that I was given paradise on earth. I was given one of the biggest casinos in Las Vegas.” Ace smokes cigarettes, wears all-yellow and all-pink suits, and is always preternaturally self-assured, fighting critics on television and placing carefully worded phone calls.

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

Let this be the last time we hear Cuomo’s name in politics. What a scumbag.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 7h

Just disgusting.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads:

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

I can't believe NYC did it, but they managed to have a Mayoral race where the Republican *isn't* the most racist candidate. Incredible.

California is readying a one-time 5% tax on billionaires for the 2026 ballot that would go toward compensating for Trump's Medicaid cuts. The architects see it as a national model.
It will be announced today.

Mostly the same applies there. Like Sliwa wasn’t born privileged but he is a white guy which comes with its own privileges, like the largesse afforded to a white vigilante gang that beats up innocent people on camera is impossible for another group.

The standard can’t be that, next to the child of a former governor, brother of a news anchor, and a longtime party magnate, you must be Victorian Poverty levels poor for you to contest the inauthenticity of your rival’s privilege. That is patently absurd.

Zohran isn‘t blue collar but he is a self made success story. The same was true of Obama. Not blue collar but a self made meritocratic success story. The kind that is hard to achieve but they did it.

His mother is an independent filmmaker whose films were never big time box office earners, and had a niche audience with diaspora and English speaking Indians in India. Like let’s not pretend that Zohran grew up with James Cameron money.

Cuomo had his 9/11, COVID and he blew his second chance by getting seniors in nursing homes killed.

Two years since the release of Killers Of The Flower Moon, an actual Martin Scorsese film which, if you're the kind of person who wants a legit physical media copy rather than a pirated or suspiciously imported version, you still can't own because Apple refuse to release it or let anyone else do so.

The Movie Rabbit Hole @themovierabbithole.bsky.social · 10h

The glorification of this needs to be stopped.
First - it's all bullshit. Any bit of acting by an actor these days is called "DID YOU KNOW this was improvised"
Second, this would be really fucking toxic
Third, actors CAN FUCKING ACT. They don't need to be "tricked" by someone else going off script

The most important member of Mamdani’s team will always be Andrew Cuomo.

This is unironically so fucking funny for something the Cuomo “team” just put out.

Four awkward looking older generation Muslim men stand on a street and hold a sign that says “Muslims against Mamdani ask us why”

He uses Machine Gen commercials already, old fashioned plagiarism is a big quaint by comparison.

i guess Cuomo is just using Mamdani's campaign design now

"Muslims against Mamdani" sign. the text is orange/yellow with a drop shadow on a bright blue background

Video by Emily Austin overlaid with "hot girls for Cuomo". again the text is bright yellow block caps, with a red drop shadow on "Cuomo"

I love this film REAL by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, it’s like Inception but set in the world of mangaka creators.

Japan also has a better healthcare system. The overworking though is a general problem in Japan and it’s a cultural thing boosted however by bad policies and unresolved historical issues.

Absolutely. The folk culture of comics in manga never left Japan. They cultivated a tradition there rather than just shutter stuff because of empty trend chasing.
