They've got a lot of songs!

Absolutely. So many films construct conspiracies within their narratives, but Rivette is one of the few to work with the undefinable unease that belief in conspiracies actually feels like. You'll never have all the pieces.

And now, to do something I should have done 25 years ago: I'm watching Ishii's ANGEL DUST.

Yeah, it's the everpresent sensation that there's something outside the film, something very important that you're not being told but that you can feel seeping into the frame. He's so great.

That is a perfect cat-name story

Steve Carlson @lcosgrove.bsky.social · 2d

I love it, it's got a great rhythm to it. What's the story?

Steve Carlson @lcosgrove.bsky.social · 2d

I imagine the name is pop-by-way-of-Ken-Jacobs, but my brain immediately jumped elsewhere.

Average NYPD salary with OT is well over 100K, you live like a king on that in Long Island ain't none of them going nowhere. Anyone who believes that is a stone cold idiot. How many other jobs are they qualified for where they could earn that? Zero. The answer is zero.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

The widespread misunderstanding of why "The customer is always right" was initially coined continues to be a pox on our society

good hyuck, babe! @markpopham.bsky.social · 2d

all of these people being like "the manager at build a bear didnt let me name my bear Charlie Kirk and wouldn't officiate a marriage between me and Charlie Kirk (bear). they must be executed" really highlights how businesses need a hard and fast "no weird shit" rule
