在奇斯洛夫斯基這部諷刺作品中,一名工廠工人花上兩個月的人工購買了一部攝影機,想要記錄新生女兒的成長。但比起女兒,周遭的世界更令他感興趣,他很快便成了業餘紀錄片導演。這身份可能為當權者所用,也可能是他們的威脅。<br> <br> 在憑藉「藍白紅三部曲」蜚聲國際之前,奇斯洛夫斯基是一名紀錄片導演,努力拍攝波蘭的真實面貌。這些經驗為《影迷》鋪好路,造就他拍成早期的劇情長片。<br> <br> 《影迷》為...

Remember this moment? Many waved this away as a silly propaganda stunt . This moment, however, was a premonition of the GOP’s future. bsky.app/profile/seth...
In 2019 Laura Loomer traveled to Ilhan Omar's district with fellow "journalists" Ali Alexander (of Stop the Steal fame) and Jacob Wohl (of "hipster coffee shop" fame) to create a range of false stories meant to discredit Rep. Omar. This is what "conservative media" now is...99% fascist propaganda.

A grave historical mistake that the leaders of the Confederacy were not tried and hanged.
"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

Reflexively blaming bamboo with no evidence and no effort to address regulatory failures is journalist malpractice but it doesn’t stop there.

Portraying living in a high-rises as a poor-people-thing, not a choice people gladly make, is the most condescending West-brained thing I’ve read in a while.

You do not have to hand it to the Catholic bishops. In the same meeting, they banned gender affirming care at all Catholic hospitals nationwide.

The Supreme Court not taking Kim Davis’ crackpot appeal doesn’t “indicate” a lack of appetite to overturn Obergefell—just that this was a ridiculous legal argument. Pathetic framing here by the Washington Post. There is absolutely a ticking clock on marriage equality. DO NOT CONGRATULATE
