Here's the thing: we don't actually get many bad movies out of Hollywood anymore. Most are so focused-grouped that they're just boring and listless. A really bad movie is good for the system if it manages to be interesting.

Wow, this is bad @govwesmoore.bsky.social. Even if it's just a draft, proposing to *cut* money not just from the Red Line but from Baltimore transit writ large is not the kind of thing you want to float ahead of an election. This was a literal campaign promise

Holy shit. I’m so used to the blandest mayonnaise NFL coverage that it’s a shock to hear commentators that are actually into the game. Maybe we can leave the ESPN guys in Brazil and bring these guys up North

One of the most prolific filmmakers of the 80s and 90s was obsessed with dolls and tiny creatures. Some of the names you may still recognize: Puppet Master, Dollman, Ghoulies... And the strange thing was, it wasn't fetishistic. The guy just liked dolls...

I could dunk on these two, but their "Yellow Card" solution to immigration is pretty close to something I advocate for. I would like to make it stupid easy to cross the border into the country. Basically no one gets turned away, and they get a new type of visa.

I hate it so much. This can happen to you too. A year ago, almost everyone doubted this would happen. I had faculty at other schools telling me I was hysterical. (Irony!) Watch for the installation of right wing figureheads without an academic background. Watch for assaults on faculty governance.

Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.
