The book is lesser known but as phenomenal as the film. Autobiographical fiction by a guy who spent most of his life in prison for living the life of the main character. Shockingly good outsider art by an incorrigible ne’er do well with zero literary training

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday. Damas came to the US from Haiti seeking asylum.

The rizz is beyond anything we've ever seen. We must devote every resource to studying it
The Educational Opportunity Project (edopportunity.org) combines the gold standard in U.S. academic data with a focus on socioeconomic inequality, segregation, and pandemic-related recovery.
On behalf of researchers at Stanford and UCLA, we just launched major updates on all these fronts (🧵):

“Beyond the fact that the budget was approved on this occasion, there are still reasons to be concerned. LSC has expressed that this funding still won’t be enough to help all the Americans who deserve eviction legal aid or help in other civil law cases.”

Receiving zero Oscar nominations today: Eddington, which I saw over the weekend and haven’t been able to stop thinking about. My intro to Ari Aster, probably not what nature intended, but I loved it. That said, really can’t recommend it except to other freaks like me. observer.co.uk/culture/film...
I wonder often what Greg Bovino thinks of his portrayal in this film
TBH I just saw basically this at Radio City Music Hall—the camels, flying Santa and everything, plus Rockettes. This just seems like the flyover country version
Coming from a place like this I can say ppl there want culture and spectacle as much as anywhere else; megachurches fill the void

There's a specific "gifted kid's practiced way of evading accountability" quality to her answer—faux high-minded word salad with a helping of self pity.
Basically paraphrasing another tragic gifted kid, Margot Tenenbaum: "I couldn't even begin to think about knowing how to answer that question"
Heard this song in a car commercial the other day. Damned Gen X creative directors

Same, mine was in a B-24.
Omg it's the same Jarett Kobek who wrote one of the better books on the Zodiac case. Once you catch the cryptography bug ...

As the opening credits rolled I saw the name "Bill Forsyth" and the connection / synchronicity slowly dawned on me. At least half the audience didn't like it or make it through the movie if I'm honest, but I was thoroughly charmed and think back to it often.
Funny story, last year I learned my neighbor is a close relative of the director's, none of whose films I'd seen. Not long after, I visited a group of friends across the country and someone recommended we watch their favorite movie, an "obscure offbeat comedy from the 80s."
Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

It explains the people I know who aren't necessarily reactionaries or deplorables, but who went for Trump because they believe the hype of a coming AI- and crypto-utopia being held back by the current stodgy old systems. Trump being the consummate hype man and system-disruptor, it all aligns
There seems to be a single-circle Venn diagram of the people who believe in AI hype, crypto hype, and MAGA hype.
These are all of a piece & unite everybody from billionaires to gig workers. The weird new political coalition that probably best defines Trump 2.0
