I will say though that that ending plays a little different now than it did in 2003.

Bugonia is a little less vital than Lanthimos' last couple of movies just as a function of being a remake and maybe being a tad more conventional but outside of that it's still a banger. Looks really cool, good performances, tense at times.

Might be telling that the two stand-out chase scenes of the year both involve a younger generation finally stepping up to do something about the evil that the society around them has failed to do anything about.

How do we know what he's "supported." He's not an elected official of any kind and has no voting record to speak of.

That a major faction of the party engage in what amounts to Trumpian election denial conspiracy theories is under-discussed.

"Iffy" meaning something you don't agree with? That doesn't really matter. Seven million Americans taking to the streets to demand basically anything should have warranted more coverage than that. Suppressing it was plainly an editorial decision to place thumbs on scales.

The fact that the largest day of protest in 55 years takes up less than 10% of the page is what means it was buried. Like, you have to be fairly delusional not to see what's happening there.

The claim is and was that they were burying and downplaying the largest single day of protest in America since 1970. Which they undeniably did. Your own apparent niche distaste for the protest is not relevant to its newsworthiness.

Bro, "second top story" is not an accurate description of this...

Well, the NYT sent a form Email to the people who wrote in to complain about their choice to bury "No Kings" below the fold. I guess I'm glad enough people complained to warrant a response but the response sucks. Going to post their form email and the reply I sent to it here.

Bro, the lengths they went to in order to bury the largest protest in America since 1970 is obvious:

Form letter from NYT with their explanation for burying No Kings coverage, too long to copy into alt text.

My response to NTY form letter. Also too long for alt text.

There were clues. He was pro-fracking and all the pro-Israel stuff was there from the beginning, it just went under the radar because the former was assumed to be local pandering and the latter wasn't an issue the left was obsessed with yet.

twitter is making mainstream reporters dumber, and because they're all getting dumber together, none of them can recognize it and they actually think they're getting smarter

Whoever ends up occupying the White House next needs to tear down this monstrosity just on principal even if it's "a waste."
