“ME TOO went too far” said the country that re-elected a rapist.

NATO is only "oppressing" states with expeditionary armies who are trying to take over neighboring states. The American hegemony has a history of a lot of crappy stuff, NATO just ain't that. US power isn't strictly for good or bad. It does a lot of bad. Every nowandthen it can (and has) done good.

Dig the sound design in Bullit. Frankenheimer pulls the same trick in Ronin: there's music leading up to the chase and then there's this huge emotional pivot to the beginning of the reach action chase--and the music cuts out! All that's left is the sound effects of the cars. Just brilliant.

So, the Iran war is really giving 1973 Vietnam War vibes. There really isn't an analog to the South Vietnamese government or to the Viet Cong. But all the "we'll bomb you until you agree to peace!" is kinda on-the-nose. All the American sabotage to do things before/after the midterms. All there.

Sometimes I reenact Shakespeare's tragedies with gummy bears. I would do the comedies too, but the main characters never survive to the end.

A squid is shown vertically against a dark, textured background, with its head and tentacles pointing downward. Its elongated mantle is mottled reddish brown and orange, fading to pale cream near the head, and is bordered at the top by translucent gray fins. The squid has large dark eyes on either side of its pale head, several slender arms and tentacles spreading outward, and faint reddish-orange markings along them. A thin, curved appendage extends to the left.

Aren't there levels of abstraction in the humanities? Heck, just looking at texts through different lenses is going to be pretty darn abstract. Oh, but he thinks it's all "busy work" to actually, you know, learn enough about humanities to understand it.

Watch what you post because Threads just might pretend you're the guy who masturbated on the plane. What just happened to Peter Shankman is a warning for all of us using Meta products.

It was a rare federal dataset that captured human emotions. Consumers could have their complaints about American businesses published for all to see. For years, corporations have critiqued the system. Now the narratives are no longer being published.

There‘s much to appreciate in Mamdani, but his insistence that culture isn’t a privilege of the rich is one of his strengths.It is reminiscent of how unions and the government treated it in the 1930s -art for the masses - paintings, music, opera, theater - democracy for all.

Moba Geographic Photography captures a sand cat with its kittens; the only cat species considered primarily adapted to true desert habitat. Their paws are covered with dense fur that helps insulate them from hot sand and makes their tracks surprisingly faint. #AGoodPlace

Huh. No Fleabag? I'm one of those people who actually doesn't LIKE Fleabag but I would have thought it would have made the list. But also, everybody knows Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad. That one isn't even up for debate.

Mental health bird says "chirp".

A small songbird perches on a leafy branch, positioned slightly right of center and facing right. The bird has soft gray feathers on its head and back, a pale yellow-gray chest, a dark pointed beak, and a glossy black eye. Dark wings with lighter markings fold against its body. Green leaves, including variegated white-and-green leaves, frame the lower edge of the image. The background is a softly blurred wash of light and dark green.
