New Orleans Film Festival is coming up! They are searching for a distributor at this time — difficult to market a film like this in the current political climate.

Thank you so much for your time on Saturday to discuss the crypto issue with my students, I greatly appreciated it! Please feel free to DM me about getting it screened at my high school once you guys start bringing it to schools.

MAGA Mike Johnson has kept the House out of session for weeks now (but collecting their pay) to help Trump cover up the Epstein files.
Tell your pro-Trump family and friends, if you have any. They won't hear it from Fox, so tell them.

Note that Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are doing _exactly_ what Trump falsely accuses George Soros of doing. They fund and finance the operations of terrorist groups in the UK and Germany among other countries. Soros is strictly involved in bona fide philanthropy. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The dots are really close but let me connect them anyhow. They’re trying to create a crisis that can be used as pretext for military deployment.

“Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests. They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes.”

Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

I've been real bad about using Bluesky over the last month as it is the start of the school year and my brain has been mush as I take on teaching new electives.

I'm currently chipping away at plotting out a screenplay in the limited downtime I have, and will hopefully have it finished next year.

EVERYONE IN CHICAGOLAND:

Save this number in your phone. If you see an ICE raid:

1. Ask the the person their name

2. Ask who to call to let them know they’ve been taken by ICE

3. Tell them to not say anything

4. Call this number to report the arrest

If possible video it

Here’s my feature on Collective Shout, and their attempts to take down Steam and itch.io. I found a conversation where they spoke about exactly how they did it, and detailed their plans going forward, which sounds… very unrelenting.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker getting $1.5B from Paramount and then shitting on them AND going full attack mode on Trump in the season premiere of South Park is the energy and courage that all elected Democrats need to muster up.
