Must every cool hip independent arts venue reside in a neighborhood that does absolutely everything possible to prevent you from parking in it?

Been reading about Paramount's promise that an outside body will ensure CNN's editorial independence, and man is it wearisome to be the sole person on Earth who remembers anything that happened more than 10 years ago www.theguardian.com/business/200....

Every tech "revolution" or "disruption" is at heart about eroding worker power. Studios chased streaming off a cliff because it was dangling the promise that you could make film and TV without ever having to pay residuals again.

They probably asked it how to fix the world and it said the only way was to eliminate the billionaires.

Reminder that @harvilla.bsky.social is an absolute genius and one of our best Clevelanders. 60 SONGS THAT EXPLAIN THE 90'S is high art. Higher, I would posit, than many of the songs themselves.

Dave Made A Maze is a prime example of a title simultaneously telling the complete truth & still not touching the levels of wonder, humor, & weirdness the viewer can expect. (2/3)

Vance can't say anything about Parton's passing because he's a kid from rough circumstances who then chose to spend the rest of his life punishing everyone else for it and pulling up any ladder he climbed behind him so no one else can use it.

On Tubi and Kanopy and one of the neatest things to just look at I've seen in a while.

Two characters sit in a hexagonal passageway made of cardboard, light is coming through holes cut in the walls.

Trash room in the maze with giant Olmec-like head in the background and big oragami cranes fluttering about

The characters are briefly turned into brown paper bag puppets

The Minotaur, a hunk wearing an elaborate cardboard mask of a bull's head

This is a politician who understands that this is not an indulgence, it's an investment. Every public space where you can have fun and not spend any money is probably more of a crimebuster than 100 cops.

The truth is coming out. Just like we said yesterday, ICE is using the same story we’ve seen time and time again. As more facts emerge, that narrative continues to fall apart. Imagine that, ICE lied. Accountability starts with the truth.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

If you liked Backrooms use of unsettling spaces built out of the mundane, this is a more comic take on similar-ish material.

Dave Made a Maze (2017). A group attempts to resuce their failbuddy from a cardboard maze he's built, only to find it come to manevolvent life, complete with corrugated minotaur. Wildly imaginative, tactility in your sets, props, and costumes is one of the most powerful weapons for fantasy films.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
