Black Friday is the Bandcamp Friday of the digital picture frame scene.
Very masculine week at the pictures. Men punching things (Golden Boy), swinging axes (Train Dreams), fighting cops (Running Man) and all of the above (Snowpierecer). #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

The Untouchables (De Palma, 1987)
"’How did you get this through security?’ joked the pope — a big fan of the White Sox — prompting laughter from the surrounding journalists before he thanked Livesay for the gift.” www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/pop...
"How did you get this through security?" Pope Leo asks CBS News' Chris Livesay of White Sox baseball bat gift
As Pope Leo XIV, the first American leader of the Catholic Church, embarked on his first foreign trip, CBS News' Chris Livesay presented the pontiff with a very American family heirloom.

Anne Bilson always makes such good lists
I ranked some films set on water. ON water, so submarines don't count. No need to tell me which ones I've missed, though wish I'd remembered to include KNIFE IN THE WATER.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat: the 20 best films set on water – ranked!
As L’Atalante is re-released, we count down the best movies set largely on ships, boats, barges, yachts, steamers and trimarans. Submarines banned, as they’re under water

🎶 I'm loving Engels instead 🎶
28 November 1820 Friedrich Engels was born. Living in Manchester for more than 20 years, he documented the living conditions of its workers. With Karl Marx he studied books at @chethamslibrary.bsky.social, before they wrote the Communist Manifesto.

People tried using this argument for NFTs. There was a brief period of “if you’re anti-NFTs, you hate sex workers.”
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

This is one of the funniest, most brilliantly-written, and most insightful bits of political writing I've read in ages (plus there's RFK Jr's blow job poem). Seriously, grab yourself a coffee, put your feet up, & prepare to snort the coffee out of your nose as you laugh uproariously at this. 👇🏻
People are calling my lede here "appalling," "nightmare fuel," "actively evil," and "a desecration of the human spirit"
