A haunting portrait of devotion and delusion, "Abigail Before Beatrice" explores the sinister side of chosen family and faith as fanaticism.

AGREE! “Sorry, Baby” is of the best movies of the past few years. Moving, funny, smart, amazing acting and writing 🩷
Why are more people not talking about SORRY, BABY? This movie is incredible.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

Don’t ever let them tell you that hope is a bad thing, that the odds are so stacked against you that you will never win, that it is too late to change the world. What has happened today in New York can happen everywhere.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I’m not that bothered by the wrecking of the White House. I’m a lot more concerned about people losing healthcare, food, and housing.

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

“Shelby Oaks” is the perfect scary movie - lots of jump scares, a great lead who brings you into her terror and trauma, and beautiful and eerie cinematography. (I never thought I’d be so taken with a shot of warm breath in flashlight.) See it ASAP! #horror #shelbyoaks @neon-rated.bsky.social

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…
