It's a very good movie and actually has things to say about the world we live in and will inhabit. It's like DONT LOOK UP which also polarized critics. Hard time to be subtle today. Imagine Synechdoche New York meets Dr. Strangelove with a garish makeover by Wes Anderson. All compliments.
Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social · 6h agoI really dug DIGGER. I was one of two people in the theater. The other person left after 40 minutes lol. It'll be a huge flop. But hey I'm here for big swings. They should've shared the twist in the ads. Would've helped with audience expectations and actually helped the movie.
#ResistanceEarth In Florida, you supposedly get lots of "freedom," except the freedom to learn real science. Florida has proposed new K-12 science standards that omit evolution and climate change. Yeah, that's going to prepare the state's kids for the future. www.wusf.org/education/20...
Evolution and climate change are missing from Florida's proposed K-12 science standards
The Florida Department of Education held its first listening session at Armwood High School. Some teachers brought up their concerns about missing topics, such as evolution.

VOTING RIGHTS per American expatriates abroad! 😨
Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · 7h agoPSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.
NEW: Partially unsealed court filings show that ICE has been putting photos of people observing their activities into a Palantir-built database as well as tracking and intimidating them. @regret.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social have the details:
ICE Has Been Dumping Protester Photos Into a Palantir Database
DHS agents not only tracked and intimidated people observing ICE activity in Maine, but stored information about them in a Palantir-built database, newly unsealed court filings say.

A US government effort spanning intelligence agencies, the FBI and the Justice Department sought proof that voting machines were used to rig the 2020 election. It ultimately found no evidence votes were altered reut.rs/4hHBkcA
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.
Don’t get complacent. They’re still going to try to cheat. Check your registration. Vote early if at all possible.
This is huge: a judge ruled a Flock search was 'indiscriminate mass surveillance' and unconstitutional. Says the search by a cop, who did it because a passing car had a plate from a different state, violated the driver's rights. Meaning, Flock should require a warrant www.404media.co/federal-judg...
Federal Judge Rules a Flock Search Was ‘Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance’ and Unconstitutional
Flock’s nationwide network is quickly “approaching dragnet-type law enforcement practice” and the cop should have got a warrant, the judge wrote.

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 12h agoThe White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.
The greatest proof that polls don’t vote but people do is that we would not be in this hell if the polls were right We would have had a President Hillary Clinton And then a President Kamala Harris
I saw one of those illegal Trump political ads that you and I paid for. At first I thought it was an SNL parody and then I realized he is just severely mentally ill. He is weak, stupid and propped up by an equally flaccid Republican party. Let's flush them all on 11/3.
Many Hispanic voters heard secure the border and deport violent criminals. What they got was cruelty to: workers, parents, grandparents, children, longtime residents and people with no criminal conviction. This is buyer’s remorse on an epic scale. #LetsGetVoteReady

It's as if he is TRYING to lose the midterms. With historically low approval ratings, it would be wise to avoid the press altogether. Instead, he gives TIME magazine this bonkers, unhinged & l-e-n-g-t-h-y stream-of consciousness interview, pathologically lying throughout. shorturl.at/PMvVB

Ballot parties beats doomscrolling. Pens out, IDs checked, envelopes sealed before the pizza arrives. If your friends can coordinate brunch, they can coordinate a stamp. #LetsGetVoteReady
