“Lay in the sun
have it burn away the past
Because this thing that you call life
to me is nothing more
than pantomime.”

The cover appears to pay homage to Sergio Leone (specifically, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST).

He definitely captured an era. His ominous poster for John Carpenter's THE THING remains a favorite.

🔥🔥🔥 Today at immigration court 26 Federal Plaza this woman went ballistic to the masked ICE agents who detained her family member. Where are the people standing up to the Gestapo? I never saw this in 4 months I’ve been filming. 👏👏👏👏

Their work holds up. The songwriting and arrangements are stand outs.

After BLADE RUNNER, MINORITY REPORT is the best depiction of a Philip K. Dick fever dream on film. I went into it thinking that Spielberg's sensibility would not mesh with Dick's visions. I could have done without the last few minutes before the credits, but it's a gripping piece of cinema overall.

A chilling, surreal and heretofore unfathomable expression of contempt for the rule of law and fellow human beings ...by agents of the government.

A government that turns its guns indiscriminately against the population has lost all sense of legitimacy.

Of course it is. And the same callousness will soon be directed at us.

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 22h

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

It's class warfare and a simple matter of ownership.

The rot runs deep. It seems inadequate to say that Trumpism is but a symptom, but Trumpism doesn't arise absent a fertile substrate of widespread racism. It isn't limited to the poor or working class--even the mandarin-class and the wealthy are energized by it, and it is destroying the country.
