I don’t think Fox has it in them, but this is the exact setup + framing one would use if they were attempting to humiliate someone.

Weegee was one of the first photographers I really loved as a film student + young photographer myself, but found him frustrating as a source of inspiration. His points of reference made a lot more sense when I moved out of Regina, Saskatchewan.
Weegee
Listening to Frank Sinatra, Palace Theater, 1944
So beautiful! For someone with such a brusque & matter-of-fact image, Weegee could come up with perfect, sensitive, graceful photographs.

I cannot convey to you the sheer fucking weirdness of Olivia Nuzzi's book.

Stand by my contention that worrying about + responding to middling reviews is the lamest shit ever. Is there a single GOOD band who ever cared about this?
A few months ago Indigo De Souza called Pitchfork “internet bullies” over a 6.6 review of her new album and asked her fans to tell the publication it was “whack”: “why not ONLY write reviews about art you LIKE?”
Last night she wore a shirt featuring the review onstage at Pitchfork Music Festival.

It rules to see a video of one (1) party + be like, damn we’re losing, there’s no way we can defeat a fun party.

Wild to me that soundtrack hasn’t enjoyed a big rediscovery. Jacked up r+b by Greg Dulli, Thurston Moore, Don Fleming, Mike Mills, Dave Pirner, Dave Grohl, + Henry Rollins!
You know what’s a solid fucking great movie? Backbeat is.
Sat tonight with the family and watched it, for the first time in ages, and that, ladies and gents, is how you bloody do it.

Has the plan to enlist the country’s dumbest psychopaths to do hate crimes backfired??
An ICE agent caught on video saying "We're going to have to shoot some of them" as he brutalizes an american citizen for being latino.

Old enough to remember when a central conservative panic was about “FEMA concentration camps” but conservatives don’t seem to care about them now that they’re actually happening.
FEMA is preparing to send $608 million to states to construct immigrant detention centers as part of the Trump administration’s push to expand capacity to hold migrants.

FEMA is starting a “detention support grant program” to cover the cost of states building temporary facilities, according to an agency announcement.

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'
Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Parkside chopped again & yesterday I went to see the Dufferin camera chopped. The tolerated lawlessness of drivers coupled w their campaigns to prevent bus lanes etc - time to stop consulting & make real changes. Feckless police are useless.
