You don't fight the evil of MAGA world by gloating over the harm suffered in disasters by people in "red states".
Only light can drive out darkness. Only love can drive out fear and hate.

Is that because Ent is a proper noun? Or because it's specific to Tolkien's fictional work and orc is a more general noun?

Hey @overstreet.bsky.social, I've been listening to your podcast discussion on The Fabelmans and noticed you said there wasn't much to compare between Lynch and Ford, but I think there's actually quite a bit!

A comment on Facebook got me thinking about a comparison between David Lynch, and John Ford. Obviously two very different artists, working in different times and conditions. But I think there's some fascinating points of overlap to consider. 🧵

Now watching WINTER KILLS on the Criterion channel.
Been wanting to see this one for a long time. Don't know if it's good but it has an absolutely murderer's row of acting talent and is shot by Vilmos Zsigmond, so I'm excited.

Not sure why I don't really get on the wavelength of these Evil Deads. I haven't seen Army of Darkness yet, so maybe that one will be more my speed
