I’m in the minority of liking Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern movie (it was okay, good even, but nothing special), but no, we are not going to act like it was better than Lanterns. Seriously, I do not understand people sometimes.

A lot of people are struggling right now. Including your queer and trans fam, and your artists friends, and the people who are both. The mental health pressures are real and the consequences are potentially devastating. Check on your people. Let them know how much you love having them around.

Someone asked me if there’s even a point to my being an indie author if AI is just going to replace me and I’m too unknown to survive. I’d love to say I’m a better writer than AI, but they’re right about me being an unknown. Literary agents should start looking at the indies to find real writers.

Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

Two-thirds of Americans support Medicare for All. Americans are done with a healthcare system that puts profits before people. Medicare for All can save 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year—turns out, progressive policies can be good politics AND good policy.

Felt like watching the old animated Planet Hulk movie, and since it’s late, decided I’d watch it on my Apple TV app instead of digging out the blu-ray. And just like that, I discovered that it was delisted. It’s still listed in my library, but it won’t play now, with a notice saying it’s no…

One reason we as Americans can truly "never forget" 9/11 is that for the last 25 years, we have remained under the exact same STATE OF EMERGENCY that was declared in 2001. Every president--that means Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden--extends it by a year. Every year. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks

Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622(d), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency previously declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.

Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2026. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency that was declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist threat.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

Much of the media coverage of the September 11 attacks has focused on assessments of the war on terror. What goes largely undercovered are some of the injustices that followed in its wake, such as the Islamophobia directed at Muslims and bigotry against other racialized populations within the U.S.

And then our government took that unity and used it to sell us a fake Forever War and kicked up a spectacular wave of Islamophobia that we are still wrestling with. Unity can be a real problem when it's based on fear, something MAGA has leaned into with a vengeance.

Saddened but not shocked to learn this: “As a recent Pew Research poll made clear, a substantial portion of Americans still views Muslims through the terror paradigm, finding, in fact, that perceptions of Muslims are more negative now than they were in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.”

The main reason Republicans and rightwing Democrats have for saying Mamdani shouldn’t be at the main 9/11 ceremony is pure Islamophobia. I think there’s a second motivator too: they know if they share that space with him, he’s gonna make them all look like ass.

Back in Riyadh, there was a place I think was called Channel 3 (I may be misremembering the name). It was basically a rental/store for tons of movies… that were almost all certainly bootlegged since Saudi didn’t have movie theaters in the 90s.
