Might just straight up be a masterpiece. I think I might go see it again

This movie gets better the more you think about it. My estimation of it has risen steadily since I left the theater

been doing some ballot prop research and it looks like this will be the first time, ever, that I vote for a prop (45) that is supported by the state gop and opposed by the state dems trying to see if there are any details or aspects of it I’m overlooking but streamlining CEQA is great in my book

It was stupid on purpose but in a good way and the ending made me laugh. And of course innaritu’s artistry is unquestionable

annnnnnd… I actually really enjoyed it

Basically I find his movies to be pretentious fake deep obscurantism and everything I’ve heard/read/seen about this movie screams he dials that up to 11 in this one

Might go see digger in a bit. I am an Innaritu hater and from what I’ve read I’m going to despise it; but I’m just intrigued enough to go find out for myself

Forget AI. Forget electrotech. Forget space travel. The titanic shadow of the 20th century looms over everything else. It's still at work, dissolving the premodern structures of ten millennia of agrarian society and reshaping it into something wholly unknown.

part of the general point is that in historical perspective the modern world is both very weird and very new. it feels old and familiar to us because it's been around for as long as anyone can remember--which is, in the scale of human history, an eyeblink of an eyeblink

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I think if you have a code, you need to stick with it, and one of my codified beliefs is that I don’t mock people for their physical appearance. To have exceptions is to say it’s okay to do so, and I view this as a deontological matter, so I don’t do this to my enemies or rivals either.

this is really pissing me off. I get healthcare through the Obamacare exchanges. Now I have to worry if these Trump morons will randomly kick me off my coverage bc they’re too dumb to understand how insurance works

Austin Kidwell @austinkidwell.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I’m sorry am I misunderstanding this? Are they seriously saying if you pay for healthcare each month but never use any services, ie pay a ton in but get nothing out, that is somehow fraud?!? wtf are these idiots taking about!?!!!?

The United States made serious missteps in our relations with Russia in 1990s and after absolutely nothing that we did gave the Russians any justification whatsoever to invade Ukraine

All you need to do to understand this conflict is read what Putin writes and listen to what he says. He is very clear about why he is doing all of this

It is honestly baffling to me how "read a transcript of what the Russians say and take it seriously" is apparently an incredibly difficult bar to clear for most "Russia Understanders"

we use "Russia" and "Soviet Union" interchangeably but this is a mistake. They were not the same thing

Troy Jackson getting that nomination easily after he lost a primary for governor and lost a congressional primary by 50 points (in 2014) was probably a bad decision A good candidate on paper, a bad one in practice. He isn’t good at running in high profile elections

One important lesson from my career in politics that I want all of you to recognize: There's no secret polling data. The internals usually say the same thing as the public ones. The actual nonpublic data is which campaigns are a mess and which aren't.

The point isn't "wow, Jacob Rees-Mogg is 'woke' now!" and nobody is handing it to him. The point is "fucking hell, the fash are so far gone that even *Jacob Rees-Mogg* wants to distance himself from their noxious rhetoric!"

The Knesset barred today the only two Palestinian led parties from running in the coming election. According to an overwhelming majority in the Knesset, the constitutional meaning of a Jewish State is a state where Palestinian citizens cannot run for parliament.

Baudrillard: "It is no longer a question of imitation, nor of reduplication, nor even of parody. It is rather a question of substituting signs of the real for the real itself... Never again will the real have to be produced: this is the vital function of the model in a system of death"
