SLOW HORSES has some of the most beautifully shot night scenes of London. Really spectacular use of light and shadows.

Two great ANDOR-esque ideas for STAR WARS streaming series: 1. Kleya and Vel hunting down Imperial war criminals in the early days of the New Republic. 2. A series of New Republic prosecutors holding Nuremberg-style trials for Imperial war criminals.

What makes this true story of the time that 60 Minutes failed in it's mission to protect their journalism extra tragic is ever since it was held up as the flashing red light moment -- here's where we failed the public and we must never repeat this mistake. And then Larry Ellison bought Paramount.

Since 60 Minutes is effectively dead, maybe it's a good time to suggest watching one of the greatest movies you've probably never seen and it's about 60 Minutes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-_Z...

Rewatching THE NICE GUYS. They should get the whole cast back and do a sequel set in 1987. I’d love to see Healy and March tangle with Reaganites and yuppies.

A lot of carceral workers are nonwhite people. Another example of why we need to deal with the racial politics of how people are recruited and encouraged to become carceral workers, and how the pathologizing of nonwhite communities and their “redemption” through carceral service are part of that.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Let’s swap out the fragile, slowly maturing frontal cortexes of society’s teens and replace them with a soulless, sycophantic pattern recognizing machine designed by hubristic, Ayn Rand obsessed simpletons with no historical sensibility, & whose main motivation is profit maximization. This is fine.

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Annual Emmet Otter viewing accomplished. "When the mountain touches the valley All the clouds are taught to fly, As our souls will leave this land most peacefully. Though our minds be filled with questions In our hearts we'll understand, When the river meets the sea."
Emmet, Ma, and the friends together on the frozen river at the end of Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas. They're Muppets.

Emmet Otter gets sadder but also better, more relatable and more special, every year. So handmade and humble. And like so many Henson productions, it was also a cutting edge tech experiment wrapped in a soft, sincere little story.

Apologize for retweeting the same article twice but - and I say this with no hint of irony - this is a pretext to the single largest, easily litigated lawsuit in human history. This is an egregious violation of IP law, law protected quite literally & specifically by the Constitution. Total insanity.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.
