As a physical cinema, we have a vested interest in suggesting that spending $240 a year on movie tickets is a better, richer experience than second-screen watching some slop on a streaming service. Like with most things, your mileage may vary.

can’t believe our current all-ages literacy crisis is making me a little nostalgic for the pretentious “we publish experimental poetry chapbooks and have strong opinions on Melville and the 1800s fur trade” Literature Boys of my college years in the late 2000s/early 2010s.

1/ NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, today in Las Vegas: the Moda deal has “several open issues that still need to be resolved” and has “gone off track in various ways.” Most will read that as bad news for Portland. It’s the opposite. This is the leverage thread. 🧵
1/ OK! We analyzed all ~5,300 pages of public records on the Moda Center deal — every email, text, contract, and invoice produced so far. Before Portland commits ~$850M+ ($1.12B after interest), here’s what every Portlander should know. It’s not the story you’ve been told. 🧵
Edan Krolewicz@edankrolewicz.bsky.social · 2mo agoTraveling for the next few days, but all of this information just dropped and there is so much information about the entire Moda process none of us have heard about including Project Mt.Hood details, the early promises made, etc internet do your thing portlandor.govqa.us/WEBAPP/_rs/(...

i am fine spending my tax dollars on schools and roads and medicine and the like. i would prefer not to spend my tax dollars on a new stadium while my teacher friends go on furlough. Oregon is in financial crisis. $200 million for a nicer stadium is idiotic.
pnwpolicyangel aka Angelita 👼@pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe way the Oregonian, the governor, and other electeds are pushing narratives that we must unquestioningly give a billionaire millions of tax payer dollars for the Moda center without evidence is astounding. I’ve never clutched pearls but this level of fiscal irresponsibility is getting me there!

Nancy R. Curtis@oponiak.bsky.social · 4mo agoWorth noting that the DOGE purges have essentially functioned as a whitening of the federal labor force & thus a whitening of what remains of our middle class. Then add the ongoing war waged against DEI & ask yourself where all those black women are supposed to find other middle-class jobs.
Listening to this and the DNC guy sounds exactly like Jerry Lundegaard trying to deflect from his father in law about his wife being fake kidnapped while trying to steal a million dollars in the classic 1996 film Fargo. Dude sounds like a liar, and acting in bad faith.

Friday evening viewing recommendation? On the Criterion Channel, watch William Friedkin’s TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. (1985) — a kinetic neonoir that takes the ’80s action thriller to new heights of hyperstylized excess. Now playing in our Stunts! collection.
Fantastic run this #LetterboxdFriday. Babe rules dude! Especially paired with Fantastic Mr Fox. Targets has me needing to see more Bogdanovich movies. And then, of course! FULCI the master of gore with the final installment of the Gates of Hell trilogy. Amazing. Loved it. #LastFourWatched

A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much. Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment. /1

Its not a business! It’s a public good! And it’s not “running out of money,” either. Republicans deliberately created this illusion by requiring USPS to prefund pensions *75 years* into the future. Literally no other agency (or business, lol) requires this.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 4mo agoDespite numerous attempts to reform the U.S. Postal Service, the agency’s business model has not changed significantly since 1970. Here are some changes the agency is proposing, including decreasing service and increasing prices.
#LastFourWatched Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia is all time, what a film. Coneheads is still funny, so weird and goofy, and a critique of immigration enforcement! Special Effects was mid but interesting. And finally Cure is one I’m gonna need to rewatch. It was excellent. #LetterboxdFriday
