ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

A meme about the book Blood in the Water. Blood in the Water will turn your children gay! Strong dominating woman/weak pathetic man. These are telltale signs of bisexual propaganda!

More memes bc why not

A redraw of a scene from princess mononoke but with the characters from blood in the water. The top panel has Carmen aiming her gun captioned "ill blow your brains out, that'll shut you up!" While the bottom panel shows Cort looking up at her with the gun to his head, captioned "you're beautiful..."

A drawing of a man standing with his back to the viewer. One hand unsnaps the button of a sheath with a glass-hilted dagger in it, while the other holds a rapier at his side. He glances over his shoulder at the viewer with a smirk. The man’s hair is dark but has a splash of white at the forelock, corresponding with patches of pale skin that give him a white mustache and eyebrow on that side of his face as well

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 5d

Tho I do encourage at least 2 watches bc it all comes together even better when you know exactly where its going

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 5d

I really think its a movie worth watching! I think its reputation amongst film enthusiasts as a visual spectacle and psychedelic horror kind of kept it from really breaching those circles into mainstream appeal and I get why, but its not nearly as confusing as I was initially led to believe

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 5d

Oh let it be known this isnt just directed at letterboxd critics but also published reviews i found online independent of typical social media platforms. Ive read a lot of people's thoughts on this film and most of them, if not all, come across utterly baffled by the film

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 5d

Anyways this has been a brief and nonexhaustive rant on a movie i really relate to and enjoy and feel is HUGELY misunderstood by a large majority of reviewers, positive and negative.

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 5d

Its not that fucking hard to read the movie as a character study. I feep gaslit reading the online reviews, though. Everyone acts like the film so obtuse. Its not. I wonder how many people even bothered to give it a second viewing to actually attempt a good faith read on it

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 5d

To me the movie has obvious themes. Simple themes about masculinity, faith, and class. Like. Mind-blowingly obvious. Its the story of the delusion of class mobility driving several men to vie for power over each other when they are ultimately all powerless, until they snap

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 5d

A lot of the positive reviews have nothing concrete to say. They praise the trippy visuals and the tone but I still feel like they were mostly just confused by the movie. Feels like a lot of "emporers new clothes"ing it but tbh i doubt even Wheatley is up his own ass as much as the reviewers are

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 5d

This is far from the only review like this. Look, I dont think you have to "get" the things I like but stop acting like the people who do like it are lying or something.

On the other hand - I absolutely think a lot of the high reviews are equally full of shit in sucking the director's dick

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 5d

I know A Field In England isnt the MOST approachable film but the low letterboxd reviews makes me feel like i watched a different film than everyone else. What do you MEAN the only 3 ways you can feel are "wow, neat visuals!", "that sucked, it was too pretentious" or "cool, ultimately meaningless"?

There are three ways an unclassifiable and controversial film like this can go. You are completely entranced by the strangeness it surrounds itself in and the experimental vibes it employes. You are either disgusted by it, frustrated and left unable to respond to it because you find it downright inaccessible. Or you observe it unfold with a restrained curiosity, admiring its creativity and ideas but doubting it adds up to much and questioning its merits. Im mostly on the third side, leaning a bit towards the second rather than the first.

Drawing of a young man, legs open, hand hanging and an intense look on his face. Two swords and a dagger stabbing his lower torso, and even below, and his thigh. There’s more wounds from previous stabbings. There’s blood too.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Everyone on the fence about A.I., there's something you don't realize.

It's purpose is to eliminate human jobs and human skills.

That's it. That's its single purpose. For companies to no longer pay people or train them in skills.

This sounds like some kind of weird humble-brag but it’s really true. You don’t have to eat glass, but you’d be surprised how far you can get by being reliable and easy to work with. Raw drafting talent is worth nothing if you’re a piece of shit who can’t hit deadlines.

Heidi MacDonald @comixace.bsky.social · 6d

Todd McFarlane: The one thing I've learned as I got older is you can't change personality. You either eat glass or not. You can't teach that. Rob LIefeld and I were glass eaters. Not the best artists, but we stood up. You should have seen what happened if we actually had f*ckin'' talent."
