“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

Cool. I don’t need to spend money on anything with Keira Knightly ever again. Keep ‘em coming.

We absolutely, positively DO NOT need to learn to live with anyone who wants some of us FUCKING ERASED. Rowling & her money is doing real harm to trans men & women across the world and she needs to fuck off into the sun at her earliest opportunity. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Into the sun.

oh no. no. absolutely the fuck not. fuck off.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.

Every democrat should be talking like this. Not the feckless mueller time version of this that we’ve had for years, but actual promises of actual consequences

As long as it goes unpunished we’ll never be free of this

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 1d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Finally watched THE LIFE OF CHUCK, and it’s by far one of my favorite films of the year. Brimming with ideas & genuine emotions. Unlike any movie I’ve seen, but absolutely relatable to anyone. @mikeflanaganfilm.com has crafted the most human movie in years. Go in knowing as little as possible.

A marvelous pre- and post-screening talk from Dr. Peter Weller. At 78, the man has more passion, focus, and determination than most people half his age. I would’ve listened to him all night.

You know, it’s a close call for me, and maybe ask me again in a couple years and I’ll revert to Raiders being his best. But, for now, being increasingly a “man of a certain age” his performance in 5 really resonates.

Also, it’s not just about “what happens”. It’s about growing old, seeing the world around you change, feeling the pain of loss. Take Indy out and you get none of that. It’s an extremely flawed film, IMO, but it’s one of the best uses of a legacy character I’ve ever seen. Possibly Ford’s best perf.
