My Way Home (Bill Douglas, 1978)

"Ah yeah, I suppose that makes sense. I don't understand my laptop either, my wife's nephew has to help me. But that's what confuses me. Your millennial assistant... would've known... deleting received emails does nothing." "Detective, I really must go audition these cellists."

U.S. is enforcing a siege on Lebanon

“The Israeli military has never made any claims of a Hamas presence at al-Awda. When asked what intelligence led troops to besiege and raid the hospital last year, the military spokesman’s office did not reply.” They’re not even pretending it’s about “fighting Hamas” anymore.

It's deeply funny how upset right wingers are getting about a squirrel getting offed. The 11th circuit ruled a few years back that police can legally shoot your CHILD while aiming for your dog because a burglar ran through your house and I didn't hear a peep.

I translated this must-watch video Chief Staff Officer Colonel Moshe Tzofi and Brigade General Yehuda Vach from the 252 division created a 7 x 7 km death zone in the heart of Gaza. “There is not a single building standing here. It looks like destruction on a biblical scale”

So Cobb County just mailed absentee ballots out today, a judge said they have until the 8th by 5 to get them in long as they’re post marked by the 5th; but Cobb County GOP appealed & the GA Supreme Court just ruled they have to be in tomorrow by 7pm. This is voter suppression

Israel has presented "little or even no evidence of a significant Hamas presence" at northern Gaza's three main hospitals, which Israeli forces have shelled, bulldozed and otherwise destroyed, while killing patients and medical staff and detaining others apnews.com/world-news/sti…

U.S. intervened to block Ireland from passing legislation to restrict trade with Israeli companies operating in the Occupied Territories We do now how to use leverage, apparently

The IDF is claiming to have successfully depopulated/ethnically cleansed part of northern Gaza

While it's true that too much attention gets paid to Netanyahu's political drama rather than broader Israeli consensus supporting repressing Palestinians, it's also the case that Netanyahu is beholden to the most extreme settlers & he is delivering control of the state to them.

doing my best to use bsky primarily from here on out (minus my alt until bsky supports locked accounts) - this place is already unbearable and will only get worse.

Amazing stuff: The National Film Archive of Japan just uploaded 29 films shot by the Lumière company in the late 1800s (Meiji 30s). Rare scenes of Japanese life including farmers, people walking city streets, and—maybe most importantly—Ainu villages. Wow. meiji.filmarchives.jp/lumiere-works/

Looks like one of the DOGE staffers is currently preparing to ***download Twitter DMs*** for some reason

is this good

one important strategy for continuously enjoying the Mountain Goats is you need to get really, really good at ignoring the ways other people talk about the Mountain Goats

listening to an adhd podcast and just getting 100% personally evilly called out with every word these freak doctor podcast hosts say
