Figuring out how to be at peace as our collective plane falls from the sky

relistening to the soundtrack for Blade Runner, I realized what the sequel and what so many modern movies are missing that is so much of why they're not worth watching: genuine tenderness and vulnerability

I've said since early in trump's first term that he's so much like Aguirre in the film Now I see that this movie poster weirdly prophesied the orange skin bizarreness

Post a movie poster you used to have in your room, apartment, or house
Movie poster for "AGUIRRE[/]DER ZORN[/]GOTTES" with Klaus Kinski as the titular Aguirre, at the end of the film, looking insane with Teutonic tyranny, glaring at the far distance in wrathful 2000-yard-stare, one hand stroking his daughter's hair, as she stares into the same space, but vacantly - at least partly because she's bleeding from an arrow wound to her torso. The picture has an odd, orange cast to the skin of both characters, and a vibrancy to the greys of his rusted steel armor & helmet and the purple of his tunic. The whites of their eyes also flare oddly, as does the white of her tunic.

I am disgusted and devastated. Who is legitimately fighting to stop what’s happening inside Delaney Hall? Here’s a hint: Mikie Sherrill’s state police just arrested them all. That’s it.

Truly a haunting reminder that the people who say Mikie Sherill, JB Pritzker, Tim Walz, and Gavin Newsom have no choice but to have state police beat and gas protestors in order to keep Trump from installing martial law are not people to ever be taken seriously.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Important piece by Eliav in @haaretzcom.bsky.social. Israel’s refusal to grant ICRC access to Palestinian detainees is incredibly damning. US law requires such access for US LOAC detainees and the Biden administration repeatedly pressed Israel for ICRC access—without success.

Building communities where our babies, elders, families are safe is a top priority. That starts with resources, which is why I am so proud to present over $1 million in federal Community Project Funding to the City of Oakland's Department of Violence Prevention for Operation Ceasefire-Lifeline.

heartbreaking: Indomitable Spirit has pulled from freedom 250
"Mr Show": "Flat Top Tony and the Purple Canoes": the band "Indomitable Spirit" performing onstage, featuring a guy with no arms who plays guitar with his feet, a drummer who's missing his arms, a head who plays woodwind, and a woman. (It's Sarah Silverman; it's purposely ironically sexist.) The band name is onscreen, in quotes, with "(Demo Scratch)" under it.
