Pokrovsk hasn’t fallen, Ukrainian troops showed the BBC their flag flying in the city’s north. Despite brutal fighting, they’re still holding out. “We’ve lost too many to give up,” one soldier said. A Latvian volunteer warns: if Ukraine falls, others in Europe could be next.

“The alleged journalist, who was suspended from the WHCA by its members following the event, appeared to be involved in a collision with The President’s closed hand, which senior officials describe as unharmed, drawing relief from your pool reporter.”
The other reporters in the White House press corps are apparently waiting until the president actually takes a swing at one of their female colleagues before they say anything

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Really strange/ lousy that none of the musicals released this year - Kiss of the Spider Woman, Merrily We Roll Along, The Testament of Ann Lee & Wicked For Good - made it through into the specific comedy/ musical category in the #GoldenGlobes

Anyway, Kiss of the Spider Woman is available on VOD and I’ve been going that feral for good reason. Here’s one example: youtu.be/NVEzu7i-TBw?...

Reading Rooms at the British Library are closed *all week* because so many of its workers refuse to work for pitiful wages in a contemptuously authoritarian and obliviously managed environment.
We need leaders who get it and are big enough to sort it out!
It’s a mess and a disgrace.
Lift it up!!

The end of the dumb Golden Globes era was within our grasp and we let it slip away.

Wow I wasn’t wrong! Fuck this. Let Jafar Panahi and GDT sweep as much as they can get. And cast Tonatiuh in everything.

An interesting thing about the East Coast journalism bias is I'd argue that much of the East Coast media corps came from flyover country and left.

The bias comes from the rejection of their home terrain and trying to adopt the ... social mores of the rich people who run media.
this is not meant to be a diss against "East Coast professors," it's that these are just completely different ecosystems and the streams rarely cross - ofc that's one big reason the US media, centered on the East Coast, didn't recognize the flyover evangelical threat taking over the GOP for decades

The president who watched Jan. 6 violence on TV and responded to Kevin McCarthy's desperate call from inside the Capitol with "well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you" doesn't think death threats against anyone even a little in his way is a bad thing?

Huh.
Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she shared with Trump death threat she received that he incited, and his response was "extremely unkind"

Reality in Kyiv. After recent strikes, energy workers are still busy reparing damaged infrastructure after Russian missile and drone strikes. Lots of Kyiv citizens are without power.

Detroit Rock City is a legit great 70s nostalgia comedy. I know Gene and Paul are whores. I don’t care. It’s a great cast and Lin Shaye is a god.

Obviously the story as it is is much more satisfying and it works 100%.

But speaking as a woman? I knew exactly what she meant when she said that.
One of the best times I’ve had at the movies. (Would still love a version where Terry picks Tess. That “he doesn’t make me cry” line hits hard when you’ve lived life a little).
Ocean’s Eleven was released 24 years ago today 🎰
