Honestly a great watch. I was going in expecting nothing because the trailer was not great, but I was kind of blown away with how fun it was. I have complicated thoughts about the themes and commentary but overall I thought it was a 10/10 movie experience.

Can we all take a moment and acknowledge that it's very weird to have your government come antagonize you on social media.

Only someone with extensive litigation experience like myself can read through the lines here, discover the truth, and identify the witness.

Great moments in redaction history.

Interview from the Titan submarine investigation. The witness name is blacked out. The first line is "Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

The Supreme Court looks poised to allow states to draw racially discriminatory maps – effectively eroding civil rights law and giving Republicans an almost insurmountable majority in the House. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/Vjs7n9K

The 2026 Election Is Being Decided at the Supreme Court

A case heard Wednesday will go a long way to determining whether Republicans can gerrymander their way to a near-permanent House majority.

I know it's early days but I'm kinda annoyed about how both returning players from #Survivor49 on season 50 basically lucked their way through the pre jury.

If you voluntarily miss the birth of your first born child, you're a bad person. 🤷 #Survivor49

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Idk what the solution is but having more secular and progressive representation on the show (who are willing to be vocal advocates) and editing them fairly will go a long way. #BBsky #BB27
