"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

Today, billionaires yet again bribed, censored, and bullied their way to the top. As a result, a billionaire media company closely allied with the president will soon own one of its closest rivals, including some of the nation’s critical news outlets. Saudi Arabia will co-own those outlets, too.

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.

I've seen Glen Hansard in concert quite a few times over the years. It was always a great show. The first time I saw him was with Markéta Irglová and The Swell Season at Bonnaroo in 2008. The most recent was at the Ohana Fest in 2025. He and his music will be missed.

Oh boy, did I hear from White film critics when I said in my review that the "revolution" and political parts of that movie were patronizing, back-patting bullshit. I didn't care if they were upset. I said what I said.
Every year, there’s one movie that critics dance the Hucklebuck over that I just don’t like as much, if at all. “One Battle After Another” fits the bill. Usually, I have no idea why the praise is so high, but not this time. Anderson’s film is a satire about revolution that never feels dangerous. Instead, it opts to give just enough lip service to its supposed central theme that “revolutionary violence is the only way” so that viewers can feel good about themselves without having to get their hands dirty. “The Spook Who Sat by the Door,” this is not.Couple that with a skillful director, plus a couple of cute needle drops, and you’ve got something that looks profound, but is actually a lot of back-patting sound and fury signifying nothing. This is ultimately a pointless, overlong movie that occasionally gives some crowdpleasing thrills en route to nowhere. When a film about the French 75, an American insurgent group engaged in revolutionary tactics, spends more time with a wacky white supremacist organization than the minority characters fighting for their cause, you know it’s tame enough to not upset the social majority.
