This isn't entirely isolated to Texas. I have a friend from Nevada who told me about a time when a Republican brothel owner won an election post-mortem. The guy was dead, and Republicans still showed up to vote for him. They just look for the R.

You really have to watch this interview. The superintendent says that "concerns were passed on to me about the play." Who passed those concerns on? He won't say! What were the concerns? "You'd have to ask them." But who is them? He won't say!

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

When you read Kraft’s statement, both this headline and the article it links to are enormously misleading. Kraft says he’s been asked to donate, doesn’t say he has, and doesn’t mention any charities. Readers could be forgiven for thinking Kraft had donated to the charities listed in the text.

This one's fascinating to me because they work so hard at setting them up but they have zero chemistry. Sabertooth sucks and is an asshole but somehow he and Logan have a palpable Thing going on in comparison.

The sad little exchange Sabertooth and Logan have during a certain spoilery bit towards the end really sold it for me. Sure they're pinning each other to walls and shit the rest of the time but most media doesn't let Sabertooth show any type of emotional vulnerability ever.

The new Wolverine game looks really interesting, because they put so much effort into establishing a tragic destined het relationship between Jean and Logan, but they only REALLY succeed on selling me on the fact that him and Victor most DEFINITELY fucked.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
