Holmes is so media savvy, and on-message disciplined, she wouldn’t fall for it. So you ended up with these staring contests that were so weird, Fielder must have found them just as fascinating as if she’d rambled into something she didn’t mean to, and was delighted to leave them in the edit. (2/2)

I think the extended silent eye contact, featured in the movie’s marketing, was the result of the documentarian’s classic technique of not responding to a subject’s statement, forcing them to fill the awkward silence with an impromptu follow-up that may be incriminating. But (1/2)

Saw “You Can See Everything” last night. I found many elements baffling, not least of which was the audience reaction, braying with laughter at every awkward silence. Yes, Holmes is clearly a grifter and master manipulator, despite the movie’s best efforts to create mystery about that, but (1/2)

Well, Digger leans toward political satire. And I get that that isn’t what some people go to the movies for. Digger is a movie about ideas, not people.

Saw Digger again and I think it’s a masterpiece. Not only a great satire about greed, oligarchracy, and environmental destruction, but also a brilliant meditation on how narratives are told to us and sold to us.

Oligarchs are free market absolutists when it comes to minimum wage, workers' rights and the environment. But when it comes to their businesses, suddenly free markets don't work, and they become ardent Socialists, demanding government handouts, tax breaks and subsidies.

The Million Year Picnic comic shop @myp-comics.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The short story "The Million Year Picnic" by Ray Bradbury was originally set on Mars in October 2026. It's the final story of the collection THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. (More recent editions have shifted the dates forward 30 years.) The original founder of the MYP, Jerry Weist, was a huge Bradbury fan.

A book with a red and black cover on a wooden chair. The cover reads, "75TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES
With an introduction by the author
RAY BRADBURY"
It shows a tiny figure in a stark red, white, and black mountainous landscape. There is a gold National Book Award seal.

Yet Musk arrived in the US from Africa on a student visa. Which he then violated when he went into business, making him an “Illegal Alien.”
