There are precious few certainties in life, yet I think we can *all* agree that were "The Matrix" made today, the role of Mouse would have been played by Pete Davidson.
Mexican entrepreneurship knows no limits… Behold the ICE officer piñata 🪅
Excited about Geno's return to the Mariners, but bringing in my love of Vincent Price.
Amazing screening tonight at the mostly-full, 999-seat Geffen Theater at the Academy! My first time seeing my favorite director in person, and my first opportunity to see a favorite film on the big screen since I saw it in '99.
I wish private equity could buy climate change so it would stop working
This 30-second Japanese commercial for car stereos featuring Warren Oates and the music of Ry Cooder is better than any film you’ve seen this year.
I always go back and forth between Schifrin and Goldsmith as the greatest film composer, but really, only Schifrin in all the history of cinema made percussion and brass work for the image better than *anyone* before or after him, and likely anyone in the foreseeable future.
I can't find any protests tonight, and I don't know where to direct my fury that this absurd country decided to simply throw in the towel 366 days before the tricentennial for no other reason than to turn the billionaires into trillionaires just for funsies.
No one’s taking this one on, gonna have to eat his contract and DFA him
if your milk hotel is neutral in times of injustice, your milk hotel has chosen the side of the oppressor.
BREAKING: codebreakers have finally solved the Zodiac’s final cypher. After years of studying and many (MANY) attempts, experts have agreed that the decoded message reflects Zodiac’s last will and testament. it reads: ANDREW CUOMO FOR NYC MAYOR 2025
Tomorrow is the Dobbs anniversary. So many of the Democrats who endorsed Cuomo, a serial sexual harasser & danger to every woman & girl who gets close to him, will issue statements pretending to care about women. But you either support women or you support Cuomo-not both
DREAM for NYC@dreamfornyc.bsky.social · last yr.13 women risked their safety and livelihoods to reveal how Andrew Cuomo treated them. It’s easy to forget just how bad it was—so let their words remind you. And share them with any voter you know who’s still on the fence. (and, help us run this as a final ad: actblue.com/donate/dream...)
It's one of those things like "the velvet underground only sold 6,000 records but everyone who bought it started their own band" but for everyone who answered "yes" to this being given a national newspaper column
Polling USA@usapolling.bsky.social · last yr."Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025
This sign above the urinal was a clear indicator that I was too old for the bar.

I still think this is a strong contender for the funniest video ever uploaded. Absolutely unbeatable comedic rhythm
One of the ads running on Slant Magazine is by the State of Israel, laying out a deeply stupid and risible case for going to war with Iran. Absolutely appalling and infuriating. I can't find a link to it, but apparently it's been running on YouTube as well.
Hard agree We shouldn't be referring to these people as "Federal agents" until we get proof that they actually are that While we're at it, we should stop saying people are being "arrested" when they are being kidnapped And stop saying "deported" if they're being extrajudicially rendered
JDubLow 🚫👑🐸@jdublow.bsky.social · last yr.I really wish all reporting of immigration stories would stop using the term ‘federal agent’ unless it can be confirmed that these cowardly motherfuckers are actually federal agents. Use the term ‘unknown masked men’ or, in the rare cases women are involved ‘unknown masked people’
Looking for jobs on Indeed has started to feel like doomscrolling.
like i can't even begin to explain to you how many movies came out in the 2000s and had everyone dress like they were in the matrix as if it was the clothes alone that had made the matrix such a huge success and not the groundbreaking script cast action choreography sfx and production design
I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf
We've just updated the @wired.com guide to protecting your privacy while attending protests with the latest best practices. @agreenberg.bsky.social and @lhn.bsky.social report: www.wired.com/story/how-to...
How to Protest Safely in the Age of Surveillance
Law enforcement has more tools than ever to track your movements and access your communications. Here’s how to protect your privacy if you plan to protest.

This idiotic curfew contains the whole of the William Mead housing project which is full of people who are already vulnerable to criminalization and profiling. Our folks had to call through all our lists to let them know because the city apparently saw fit to announce it with a text message at 8:07
Mayor Karen Bass@mayor.lacity.gov · last yr.Effective June 10, 8 PM-6 AM. 📍Downtown Los Angeles. Applies to everyone — limited exceptions, including for emergency and medical personnel, residents, workers & credentialed media.
Something I've been thinking a lot about recently is how powerful abusers don't really need to convince you of any one lie but rather just flood the zone with bullshit to render it "complex" enough that nobody feels confident enough to intervene on behalf of the victim
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · last yr.www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/o...
for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · last yr.Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.
And if you're at a protest and things start to get too scary, listen to your own gut. Don't do things just because some stranger or some "leader" with a megaphone gives an order. You feel sketched out? Don't do it. Don't march into that tunnel. Don't kneel in front of cops. Just bug out.
