The whole anti-country argument is so self-evidently goofy while we're all in a mass-mourning period for Dolly

You don’t need religion for morality, but you do need empathy and compassion. This administration is immoral.
Accusing people who don't live in your little cultural bubble of feigning ignorance about a pop song is, amusingly, a spectacular display of actual ignorance of how big and varied the world is.

Vought and Hegseth should be first up for impeachment if Dems retake Congress.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 14h agoVought is breaking the law but he is not “going rogue.” At his confirmation hearings, Vought told Republicans he would do this and they voted for him anyway. If they want to stop him, they still can via impeachment. They won’t.

If you’re not already watching Dark Matter, it is worth it just to get to S2E5, Love and Be Loved, one of the most beautiful hours of television I’ve ever seen. Breathtaking. I swear to God, I actually did let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding at the end.

Happy birthday Google. Hope you're making progress on the "Don't be evil" thing. We're pulling for you!
Also, so happy to see Station Eleven make the list. Not enough people watched it, but it’s a brilliant adaptation and one of the most moving (and ultimately hopeful) shows I’ve ever seen. An all-time fave.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is planning to turn an outdated skyscraper building in the city into 4,000 units of affordable housing. Instead of creating destructive data centers that destroy lives as well as the ecosystem for dark profit, this leader chooses to help people instead. More of this please.
This sunset in New York City happened last night. This image represents everything Trump and Republicans are trying to destroy.
Yesterday’s ep of Dark Matter (S2E5 “Love and Be Loved”) broke me Just hits different, surviving (barely, at this point) 5 or 6 years of severe stage ME/CFS; Jason 24’s field note, “I’ve lost everything… Please just let me find a world where I can love and be loved.”
The third NYFF movie I saw today was Rose, the Austrian Oscar submission and further confirmation that Sandra Hüller has become what Liv Ullmann was in the 1970s--the European actress-turned-international star whose every movie you must see. She is stunning in a severe, impeccably made story >
We get a slice of life from an NPC Jason in the most introspective and emotional episode Dark Matter has ever attempted.

I will probably not watch the four hour movie about Elon Musk but I am glad that it exists and will almost certainly make him cry.
Dan O’Sullivan@osullyville.bsky.social · 17h agoToday I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.
Dark Matter raises so many universes, and when you’re young, you also think of the many roads you could travel. When you get older those possibilities narrow. But you can still live the best life that you have.

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 22h agoAssistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

James Gray's Paper Tiger (tonight @ NYFF64): For me, his best--an exceptionally mature, grounded, emotional crime/family drama. Beautiful work w/ actors: Adam Driver is characteristically great, Scarlett Johansson is impeccable in a surprising character role, and Miles Teller does career-best work.
