A note from our editors:

Note from the editors:

ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.

The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement.

The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

A great way to honor Terence Stamp is to watch The Limey. First, because it at least partially means you’re watching *two* Terence Stamp movies. Second, because The Limey absolutely rules and Stamp is phenomenal in it.

2019 was the last year that I worked as a freelance movie editor. Coincidence?

In a Variety article, Quentin Tarantino asks "what the fuck is a movie" in the age of streaming and claims 2019 was "the last fucking year of movies" "What the fuck is a movie now? Something that plays in theaters for a token release for four fucking weeks? And by the second week, you can watch it on television. I didn’t get into all this for diminishing returns. I mean, it was bad enough in ’97. It was bad enough in 2019, and that was the last fucking year of movies."
