“People used to beat me up for not supporting Trump. I haven’t heard that in a year,” Trump is economically illiterate. His policies hurting the US is not a surprise. Most of the GOP knew this but they stood aside and let it happen. Vote out the enablers. #Sheshed apnews.com/article/trum...

"You couldn't make a Mel Brooks movie today!" Of course not, nobody would give a Jewish veteran with a controversial Black comedian co-writer, both of whom have overt anti-fascist politics in their acts, a budget to make a parody of a genre nobody watches anymore.

This is an odd way to frame it. DOGE did what it was intended to do, ie recklessly smash the machinery of government while purging undesirables and killing vulnerable foreigners. It was never an "opportunity" to make economies in a sensible and humane way.

I continue to think that being “too big to fail” is **exactly** their plan for how to navigate the coming crash, and it’s why they’re pushing so hard to get everybody using pricy commercial AI products all the time for everything, even in cases where there is a clear downside (ie, education)

Fritz Lang remains one of my favoeire directors for good reason. What strikes me in M is the cinematic language - the camera is always looking at more 'human vantage' angles, or creates interesting shots. Lang himself is a bridge from expressionism to Noir, too. Its DIY film school.
