As someone who is mostly pro-Digger, the idea that people who don't like it are film illiterates or something is very strange to me. That movie makes many deliberate choices you will either find intriguing or excruciating, and the second you tip over into "excruciating," it's not getting you back.

It really threw me how careful the film is with Jennifer Jason Leigh's storyline, oops you got pregnant, it's okay, go get an abortion, gets an abortion, brother picks her up no lecture, best friend scratches "PRICK" into the car of guy who knocked her up who wouldn't help pay for it.

question for brooks: what if they are, literally, nazis?

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

Democrats who don't do everything they can to hold Republicans accountable will be driven out of office by the base. Democrats who don't do everything they can to rein in the reckless power of billionaires will likewise be driven out of office by the base.

An enraging and essential piece of reporting.

This is the scene of Lonesome Rhodes' undoing in A FACE IN THE CROWD, except here the audience loves that their idol is calling them dumb fucking sheep.

[cw: horrific] yes, give your credit card to the richest man in the world, who saw a user post an image of a toddler being tortured, and after the user was suspended, personally restored the man's account, verified it, follows it, and now pays the man who posted CSAM of a 2-year old to be on X.
