Grateful that we have critics who understand nonfiction filmmaking and the history of documentary and can write about it in smart ways. (Even when the movie is “dumb”)

Merging my worlds, my favorite poker podcaster, @thirdwalking.bsky.social just did a segment on Dustin Defa’s film The Adults after I suggested that he check it out. Worth listening to if you also fit inside this tiny sliver of a Venn diagram?

It’s annoying to me that “old twitter” was probably the social media format I enjoyed creating the most, and posting here generally feels like shouting at two or three people who I could have just texted.

Also in random poker culture - there’s a growing body of evidence to suggest that Wyna Liu, creator of Connections, is a poker player. Or at least over-represents poker in the solves.

I first saw NATCHEZ on something of a whim last August when I was up in Middlebury, VT to speak on a panel about journalism at the film festival there, and I have thought about it an awful lot since then. It's starting its theatrical run, and worth your attention. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/m...

@thirdwalking.bsky.social a poker(ish) movie recently that flew way under the radar - THE ADULTS, (dir. Dustin Defá, starring Michael Cera) uses poker as a B plot to reveal the protagonist’s interior (at least that’s how I read it). But is also a quite realistic depiction of small scale home games.

In our slide towards a fascist state, this is what a Missouri legislator said as he rejected the will of 58% of Missourians to raise the minimum wage. “Of course the people voted for it. It’d be like asking your teenager if he wanted a checkbook. You know, they’re going to vote for it every time.”

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been. Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs. That's it.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.
