Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Uma das coisas mais insuportáveis da era do cancelamento é alguém falar que existe um FATO e o público entender que a pessoa DEFENDE que esse FATO exista

Natural endpoint of the influencerification of film criticism = showering your movie in praise means nothing anymore

the more I watch the more I realize he’s literally quoting the industry and how they say “let’s keep this going even though no one cares” never did he once say he personally didn’t care. yall are LAME. put the phone down !!!!!

a common internet brainworm is categorizing commentary this isn’t glowingly positive as “hate”.
everything in life isn’t glowingly positive. acknowledging the not so great stuff doesn’t make you a hater. naming the problem lays the groundwork for better to come.

last thing i’ll say ab the timothée thing is that it makes me really sad to see people pretend to care about the arts because if everyone on here supported the arts as much they claim to, art programs in schools wouldn’t be struggling for funding

This is obviously nonsense. Because Republicans had majorities in both houses, and budget bills can't be filibustered, Congressional Democrats had no say over what went into the OBBB, and did not stop Trump from re-filling it over the past year.

The race swap is the low hanging fruit, but the bigger problem is that Hannibal was 31 at the Battle of Cannae and 45 at Zama. Denzel is 71 years old. They did the same thing casting 50 year Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon. Boomer protagonist syndrome.

it may sound like timothee is anti-art but what he’s actually saying is that ballet and opera are art forms with niche followings nowadays. he worries that this will happen to movies—not due to the quality of the art itself, but bc of the diminishing interest people have in it.

Rightoids mad that a black actor is playing Hannibal (neurotic racist nonsense). I’m mad that they’re getting a guy in his 70s to play Hannibal who was in his 20s when the Second Punic War started (correct, enlightened, literate)

Bahrain on fire. Shiite majority rioting against the ruling regime.
Again, did the administration even consider the instability risk to US allies with Shiite populations? It doesn’t seem that they did. teapaw.org/AryJeay/status/2028629…

This is probably a better expression of fascist political economy in the modern era than any I’ve seen. Read the full quote.
Anduril’s @PalmerLuckey on AI and defense: It’s not up to unelected Silicon Valley executives to decide US policy.
“Don’t try to control policy by refusing to give the government the best tools.”
“You’ll see a lot of companies saying, ‘Here’s where we draw the line. This is what policy should be. This is what we’re going to allow the government to do and not do.’”
“That’s not the place of Silicon Valley companies. They shouldn’t be telling what their policy is.”
“Build the technology, advocate for policy.”
“The US government and military makes better decisions when they have better information.”
“It’s not up to us.”
