Ryan Coogler explains why he declined the invitation to join the Academy www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/m...
Still, there is nuance to all the awards hype. Though “Sinners” looks to be a major Oscar player, that voting body has never nominated Jordan for his acting or Coogler for his directing — indeed, no Black filmmaker has ever won in the latter category. Asked to join the academy in 2016, Coogler declined the invitation.

“It’s not out of animosity,” he told me, noting that he’s stretched thin with commitments to his film school and unions. “And I’m not good at judging things, bro. The act of ‘Hey, pick the best thing’ is very stressful for me, even when there’s no stakes involved.”

He is more drawn to the everyday elements of his career than to the glamorous ballrooms. “People see the tuxedo, they see the red carpet, but it’s real blue-collar folks making these movies happen,” Coogler said, adding that he truly fell in love with filmmaking once he understood that, at its core, it’s a job.A photo of Ryan Coogler

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

So I distracted myself from the immediate task but I wrote a novel, y'all. I'm still super burned out and it was *agonizingly hard* to do and I had a lot of "I shouldn't have agreed, I am a fraud, all those books were flukes and my time is done" But I fucking wrote a novel, y'all FUCK YEAH

One year ago, you met my queer Portland rock band/magical girl squad, and their new trans member, Claire. Soon, it'll be time for their next adventure! "Magica Riot: Full Bloom" is the sequel to my debut. This is the cover, once again by @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social. Release date & preorders soon!
The cover for queer magical girl novel "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," by Kara Buchanan. The text "Magica Riot" is in the upper left corner in black in a combination of fantasty/crystalline and punk script fonts, while "Full Bloom" is below it in an interwoven script font in orange, red, and purple.

The artwork depicts two trans girls, Iris and Bloom, laying on a bed of orange rain lilies. Iris has purple hair that fades to orange at the tips. She is wearing an orange sun dress, and is laying with her eyes closed. One hand is draped across her stomach, and the other is reaching up. Her fingertips are barely touching those of Bloom, also laying on her back and who is wearing a black corset dress, red bow, and long black gloves. She also has purple hair. Her eyes are open, and red. In her other hand, she holds a purple flower.

Iris and Bloom are arranged diagonally across the page, head to head.

In committing treason by attacking US citizens, ICE and anyone assisting them have abrogated their own function, standing, and authority as federal personnel. They have become nothing more than an occupying force of enemy combatants with stolen valor & wearing fraudulent uniforms.

Today, Donald Trump admired Egyptian dictator el-Sisi’s regime “because if he has crime, he puts it out very quickly.” This was a reference to the worst massacre of protesters in modern world history by el-Sisi’s military in 2013. “I think it’s great.” www.mind-war.com/p/rabaa-mass...

Last week was Banned Books Week and it was A Lot but it was also better than previous years’ iterations. I felt a change in the way people were talking about this issue. Fewer “buy banned books” and more “contact your legislators.” Getting local gov’t involved is key to preventing future book bans!

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
