Israel is vastly worse than Hamas even by strictly quantifiable metrics that ignore the underlying colonial politics; not gonna fall over myself applauding this kind of false equivalence

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

Some of the rabbis who are wary of Mr. Mamdani were critical of his appearance at the progressive Seder event. “The mayor needs to determine at some point that if he wants a relationship with the Jewish community, he needs to have a relationship with the majority of New York Jews,” said Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, senior rabbi of Stephen Wise Free Synagogue. “This organization is legitimate and relevant, but it doesn’t represent the majority of American Jews and New York Jews.”

Zionists denounce Mamdani for attending a seder

I don’t think we should go back to twitter levels of toxicity but there’s a lot of confidently stupid turbolib opinions on here that can only exist in a low predator environment.

Just discovered that a guy I dated for a few weeks circa 2012 or so is now a right-wing tech-reactionary nutjob. It’s all there on X, the everything app!

Hearing reports that DLSS 6 is going to make every character in every game look like a naked 14-year-old girl but don't worry, it's actually turning them all into ageless demons who have existed forever but _choose_ to look like naked 14-year-old girls.

i know nobody really asked me but i think the nvidia market cap of 4 trillion probably means you could divert some of that funding to fixing cuba's collapsed electricity grid cause i just dont think they've done anything to warrant 60 years of US cruelty

Pedro, you really shouldn’t have shaved

That In Memoriam segment was the length of Reiner’s, Keaton’s, and Redford’s careers combined

At my usual gay bar in Philly and to whoever put “We Are Charlie Kirk” on the jukebox, fuck you

At home in Philly and just got a YouTube ad imploring me to vote no on a sales tax in Wichita… someone fucked up the targeting on that campaign

Yeah, so about your claim that The Argument wouldn't be running anti-trans pieces @jerusalem.bsky.social... I knew it.

BREAKING: An immigration judge has *terminated* the Trump-Vance administration's efforts to deport Columbia pro-Palestine student protestor Mohsen Mahdawi.

Mohsen was first detained 10 months ago, when agents ambushed him at a citizenship interview.

Susan Collins Is Getting More Money From AIPAC Than Small Donors As oysterman Graham Platner handily outraises Republican Susan Collins, the pro-Israel lobby collected nearly 20% of her donations for her.

Susan Collins raised more money from AIPAC donors last year than small donors.

When we asked her campaign spokesperson about it, he hung up.

and on top of all that, the whole thing is written as a cargo cult pastiche of Watchmen, imitating its structure, formal devices, and several of its key themes with no evident understanding of why they worked in the original

Truly a bizarre mess of a comic. It’s trying to be three different things at once (a direct sequel to Watchmen, a dumb “wouldn’t it be cool if Rorschach fought Batman?” crossover, a continuity-driven DC Universe event)…

Reading Dennis Cooper’s The Sluts for the first time and shaking my head every few minutes to let anyone who sees me know I disapprove

Reddit screenshot r/Avatar 3h • • What does Quaritch crushing his human skull supposed to represent? Then it’s him crushing his own skull as a screenshot

If it still needs to be said in 2026: do not engage with Dem vote-shamers, they are never arguing in good faith, believe in nothing, and are mainly trying to reassure each other of their moral superiority to people more critical of the Democratic Party than they are

The future of American democracy low key depends on getting people to realize that this energy embodies the average ICE agent and their supporters

I'm sorry for the person who was beat to death and killed. My sincere condolences to their loved ones. ICE is going to continue to kill people because the purpose of a system is what it does. It is not what it says it does or what you hope it does. Maybe USians will finally confront this truth.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Very cool that Congress just renewed ICE's budget with absolutely zero concessions

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

I am making a direct appeal to Cobra Commander:

Shane and Ilya say “Fuck ICE…”

…because their show only has the budget for a few minutes of it per episode!!! 🤪

If ICE or DHS murdered you, they would call you a domestic terrorist no matter how it actually went down

It’s funny that Disney/Marvel is going to devote an entire year to a grim death march towards a movie called DOOMSDAY about how we’re all gonna die that cost half a billion dollars to make. RIP Béla Tarr

Favorite first watches of 2025 In no particular order. Caught on streaming and in repertory screenings; no new releases here

I don’t normally rank my favorite new releases of the year (my top two were definitely Sinners and One Battle After Another), but I did put together my annual Letterboxd list of first watches from streaming or repertory screenings
