"Just a few weeks ago at the 'Furry Migration' convention in Minneapolis, there was an 'Aviation Furs Meet-up.'

Ask yourself… would you be comfortable with a MENTALLY ILL FURRY being your pilot?"

BITTER CHRISTMAS is less self-examination than self-pity, and it arguably feels like outright theft from the lives of people close to Pedro Almodóvar. Read @ephender.bsky.social's #TIFF26 review.

'Bitter Christmas' Review: Almodóvar's Navel-Gazing Confession

'Bitter Christmas' commits a strange act of creative trespass: turning what appears to be a close friend's real pain into fodder for a film.

Watching it now, Barbara Kopple’s AMERICAN DREAM, writes @ephender.bsky.social, plays less like history than prophecy, one that Hormel Foods in Austin, Minnesota, and seemingly everyone after it, was only too happy to fulfill. Now available on Criterion Blu-ray. bit.ly/4x1i0fN

I think what makes this so enduringly compelling is Holland is not performing it as camp, there’s no winking, no sense that performing a woman’s song and routine is beneath him or something funny or transgressive or uncomfortable. He is completely serious and completely comfortable.

Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here's a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.

Business idea: algorithmic-style Dynamic Pricing at restaurants. You can get French onion soup for $1.75 when it's really hot out, but a tomato salad costs $57 in August. Everyone hates it; Softbank has already contributed $150m in funding just off the concept.
