Saw the documentary NAZA, made in secret, with interviews of members of Israel’s intelligence services testifying and showing how they created a system to perpetrate genocide in Gaza. The filmmakers and their families have been threatened by Netanyahu himself. I wrote my thoughts here boxd.it/gvDEIR

A ★★★★★ review of NAZA (2026)
Merely a film. A film that has led Netanyahu himself to threaten the citizenship and safety of its Israeli filmmakers and even their families, simply for the act of filming veterans of Israel’s intell...

Discursively, I think it’s interesting that these folks are now invoking communism because socialism no longer carries the foreboding connotation they’re going for.

I literally organized convoys of essential supplies by bicycle after hurricane Sandy in NYC, and in 25 years here cannot remember so much constant flash flooding and daily thunderstorms. This is a movie theater in Brooklyn today. We’re long past a tipping point. Our ship is capsizing.

Proof is everywhere we’ve broken the world in a way that should not be hypernormalized: everything from sports to cities to skies with unprecedented disruptions. But Adam nails every single day a catastrophic event happens we’re given little to no context on the existential threat of our lifetimes.

I love romantic comedies and I love political cinema and I love light sci-fi and this movie butchers it all completely while also propping up conservative embracing of fascist surveillance. It’s like they engineered this in a lab for me to hate.

After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

Reading @greatdismal.bsky.social's Sprawl trilogy back in the day I wouldn't have guessed that the most depressingly prescient bit would turn out to be the sociopathic zillionaires like Josef Virek and the Tessier-Ashpools, but here we are.
A paragraph from a paperback book (William Gibson's COUNT ZERO, 1986): "And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human."

Now this is so reductive can’t let it slide. The co-creators of the Neuromancer tv series are Black & Native American, it looks like you didn’t catch the iconic Molly Millions is Black in this adaptation? And Case sure wasn’t generic when the novel lit sci-fi up like a tv tuned to a dead channel.

Would laugh my ass off if someone made a movie in which Odysseus wears a historically accurate goofy ass looking Mycenaean Dendra cuirass with a boar’s teeth helm
The Dendra cuirass of Mycenaean civilization a Bronze Age relic that weighs 15kgs and looks extremely clumsy and constrictive like a crude metal garbage can with a slit for half a face. The helm looks like a beanie covered in teeth
