I concede that I’m way more pro-Kinds of Kindness than most, but Bugonia really left me wanting that film’s density of ideas about who we are and why we’re like this. Not a bad movie, but disappointingly narrow.

I really wonder how much that will matter if Democrats aren't doing a full-throated "GOP/Trump did this to you campaign!" and aren't taking this moment as an opportunity to connect constituents to food source solutions. It may be happening, but I haven't seen much of it.
I'm not sure a lot of GOP politicians understand how many of their constituents are on SNAP. But they're about to.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Essential reading and an incredible portrait by @roxana-hadadi.bsky.social of Jafar Panahi and the movie of the year (imo!!), IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT
Since his 2010 imprisonment, the director has been in an endless game of chicken with the Iranian regime. In his defiant new film, ‘It Was Just an Accident,’ a group of Iranians consider killing the man who tortured them in prison.

There are so many Diane Keaton performances to remember, but a lot of people haven't seen Reds, and A) my God, see it, it is a masterpiece and B) her performance as Louise Bryant is one of the bravest, toughest, least sympathy-courting pieces of work by an American actress in the last 50 years.
