It's a shame the virtuosic wizard Riefenstahl failed to innovate and revolutionize the "maybe the fucking shot should be in focus" aspect of the film too

Red Scare show why leftism can't just be "anti": Anti-capitalism, anti-US, whatever

Leftism must be a modernist humanist project: People are valuable, truth is real, everyone deserves dignity

With no moral core of human flourishing, edgy contrarianism can take you anywhere

Incredible

NYC showing that ranked choice is good for high profile Dem primaries. It creates good incentives. The first was a shitshow but we had basically no good candidates. Won’t be a problem for presidential.

The man who chose genocide over the republic.

Yeah it’s incredibly fucked up and his name should be infamous for centuries behind it.

I disliked the ending of Interstellar and I would still change it, but it’s grown on me.

Emma Spookdel @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 17h

I like Tenet too but this is a scorching take. Dunkirk, Oppenheimer, and Interstellar are right there. I don’t like Inception as much but a lot of people would propose it as his best. And people sleep on the Prestige. Tenet is fighting in a stacked division.

I guess Congress is a regiment if you count all the staffers

Emma Spookdel @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 17h

Congress as a whole is only the size of a battalion. It should be the size of at least a reinforced battalion with some attached support platoons

Biden was forced to do that. OK he wasn't forced but he did it because he needed to. OK he didn't need to he did it because he wanted to, but why are you mad about that? You shouldn't talk about this ever again and also you shouldn't work to ensure it doesn't happen with next POTUS. I am smart.

The funniest take on here today is probably "sure Netanyahu is a bad actor, but it's unclear how the US could have possibly put pressure on him". Imagine admitting you're less curious and creative than the Trump administration and framing it as nuance

I followed it better then most because I had seen Primer several times

Emma Spookdel @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah it rules and he rules. Tenet is not his best but it’s still great.

Wait what I don’t remember this

Emma Spookdel @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah and by that metric the Dems did better than most. But they would have had a chance with a proper primary in 2024 and a nominee in place at the usual time who was not associated with Biden. They didn’t, and that basically sealed it. It would have taken a Golden Path after that.

That one’s on the voters who thought that. Racist, misogynistic morons. Unworthy of the blood that was spilled so that they might have the franchise. I’m ashamed to share a republic with them. The good news, I suppose, is that I don’t anymore since they voted it away. Imbeciles.

Yeah which is why Biden should never have picked her in the first place, or picked a better successor for his reelection, or best of all should have just not run for reelection. The Vice President is there to take over. That’s the job. That’s the only job. She did quite a good job, considering.

Sometimes history is overdetermined and sometimes it’s contingent. Obama picks up the phone for someone else in 2020 and, fewer Palestinian children are burned, starved, and crushed under rubble. But he picked it up for someone who doesn’t think Palestinians are people.

Emma Spookdel @mayorseidel.bsky.social · 18h

He’s let his friend commit genocide because he’s a racist piece of shit. That’s basically it.
