s5e14 L0WL1F3 "Southland Tales"

This ep, Xero, Grue, Shadowlink, and CoinOps discuss Richard Kelly's star-studded 2006 hyper-ambitious film: "Southland Tales". It's insane, divisive, granularly interesting, and utterly batshit.

Buzzfeed.

All she had to do to beat Trump was stop being complicit in genocide.

She chose to keep supporting Israel’s genocide instead.

I feel like a crazy person having to explain how this is bad and that no good person would ever commit genocide (???)

Anyone else remember that old SNL sketch in which Jon Lovitz is playing Michael Dukakis and Dana Carvey is playing George H.W. Bush and they're debating and in mid-debate Dukakis turns to the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"?

Yeah, *that*

A White Christian nationalist pastor argued recently on a right-wing podcast that the Bible--specifically Deuteronomy 21, about how a father must bring his rebellious son to the town square to be stoned--justifies state violence against Black boys and young men.

Watching the way the Trump administration is using criminalization as a weapon ought to make clear how criminalization works even in normal times.

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

Like… it's kind of right there, no?
"AI" generated image of woman with dark hair sitting in a chair in front of posters with random shapes and symbols meant to look like images and text on movie posters, all superimposed with a post from k.w.bogen reading "AI actresses can't negotiate. They can't say they'd prefer their bodies not be shown certgain ways. They can't refuse degrading scenes. They can't express distress about disturbing content. They can't ask the creators :why would you do that to me? Why put any woman through watching that? If AI film winds up being the path, we're about to see an entirely new generation (and more brutal depiction) of media misogyny."

As the US Marshals Service prepared for Donald Trump’s expected pardon of January 6 defendants, officials went to unusual lengths to facilitate the defendants’ travel home from the DC jail, newly obtained records show.
US Marshals' efforts around Trump's January 6 pardons were “highly unusual"
“It seems like an extraordinary bending over backward” for the Capitol ransackers.

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.
