Just been thinking about how "Annie Hall" started as 2.5 hr movie called "Anhedonia" about the lead character's existential malaise but all the energy was with Diane Keaton's scenes so they focused the cut on her and made an Oscar winning classic that set the early form for a rom com.

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

Four black and white panels of a boy and girl sitting on steps. 1st panel: Charlie Brown is approaching and the boy says “Well! Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown!” 2nd panel: As Charlie Brown passes, he says “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir!” 3rd panel: “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…” 4th panel: Once Charlie is gone, “How I hate him!”

Surely it’s a coincidence that these three union themed movies are NEVER on streaming. 🤔

I made a Summer playlist of (mostly) new music. “Grooves, fuzzy anthems, minimal vibes, sun drenched indie pop dreams and grimy beats cos summer ain't over yet.

U can shuffle but made to play in order!”

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine

How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

I’m so glad Lucasfilm saw my tweet from four years ago and got on this.

“Why you gotta make Star Wars political?” (Click alt text to read)

Department of Pablo Hidalgo @infinata.bsky.social · May 10

George Lucas’ handwritten notes before starting the rough draft of Star Wars in 1974. Alt text provided. From The Making of Star Wars by JW Rinzler.

Lined yellow legal pad with handwriting on it:

The Empire is like America ten years from now; after: Nixonian gangsters assassinated the emperor and were elected to power in a rigged election; created civil disorder by instigating race riots. Aiding rebel groups. And allowing the crime rate to rise to the point where a “total control” police state was welcomed by the people. then the people were exploited with high taxes, utility and transport costs, gangsters, a cartel made up of power companies, transport companies + crime organizations. Other companies had to pay bribes to stay in business.

they increase the crime rate by slowing down the system of justice and punishment.

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:

- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

I think giving visibility and voice to opposition and keeping people from shirking in fear is def worth something

But I’m saying they want everyone to be “did you see what he posted” and stop talking about him saying not sure he needs to follow constitution or El Salvadoran prisoners. I don’t give them credit for 4D chess EXCEPT in getting liberals up in arms about nonsense
