the power of friendship is helping me defeat the egg

you spend the whole movie waiting to see what happens 3 times and they never tell you. what is going on? we used to be a proper country...

like you see Rebecca Ferguson's high level white house staffer character on a call with President Idris Elba. then later you see the same call only from Elba's perspective?

m @keptsimple.bsky.social · 5h

you see the story told multiple times from multiple perspectives, but you learn almost nothing new after the first run through.

imagine rashomon but everyone tells the same story

really surprised at the good reviews for a house of dynamite. strong performances and bigelow knows how to set a mood but nothing can mask a plot that goes nowhere 3 times

tweet from The Persian Jewess ~ @persianjewess
In a disgusting display, @nbcsn| creates an antisemitic caricature of a Jewish woman, and mocks concerns about Zohran Mamdani's pro-jihadist views.
Meanwhile, just today Zohran Mamdani's wife posted a tribute to a Hamas terrorist on her IG Stories.

it's screencap from an SNL sketch with a character named RHONDA LaCENZO

too bad she's a looker

yeah I'm somewhat baffled by the claim regardless of her politics. shapiro is, putting it in the kindest possible terms, a conservative activist. how on earth would this legitimize politico?

m @keptsimple.bsky.social · 17h

she did say the starving kids in gaza don't count if they have an illness without explaining why yeah

is this how CBS is gonna work now? using bari weiss's personal blog to launder poorly sourced and lightly edited stories (complete with a misspelling of mamdani's name in the headline) that would never pass muster if reported directly by a real news source?

@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze) @newsjennifer.bsky.social · 18h

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

Some NYPD officers worry about Mandani becoming the NYC mayor, The Free Press reports

The Free Press spoke to several New York City Police Department officers who are worried about Zohran Mamdani becoming mayor. Olivia Reingold joins CBS News with more.

the person who uses the most extreme rhetoric who sells everyone out, the guy who is too woke to function (comrade josh), depressed guy with substance abuse problems (Leo and also me)

the cool thing about the movie is actually that it features all the annoying kinds of people you find in left spaces without feeling like left bashing

[guy who’s written a dozen versions of the exact same tedious book about the early 1980s]: this seems musty, to me

yeah felt the same way when I played it. it really came together despite being a pastiche.

with the exception of Thomas (who is simply evil) the court's conservatives are just not very bright people

m @keptsimple.bsky.social · 1d

so you're defying decades of precedent and also don't want to give the impression that the decision, which has the weight of law, is a final resolution? what?

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."
