“It’s been a full 17 years since Mary Bronstein’s crackling debut feature, and the long wait has filtered into the simmering anxieties and ambient aggression of her full-on follow-up”

In theory, we know this is true. But "struck down" doesn't quite capture it. These tariffs were obviously and transparently illegal. They were knowingly illegal. It is a stain on the Court that something so obviously illegal was allowed to stand for a year. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/scotus-...

Oh, my goodness, this is a huge breakthrough in cancer research. This is another example of why it is crucially important to fund basic scientific research.

Had a great time talking with @nicolasrapold.bsky.social here at the #Berlinale about Alain Gomis’s DAO, Juan Pablo Sallato’s THE RED HANGAR, and Karim Aïnouz’s ROSEBUSH PRUNING on The Last Thing I Saw — podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Had a fun time chatting with @nicolasrapold.bsky.social over on The Last Thing I Saw about some films from #Sundance2026 (namely, "Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty!," When a Witness Recants," Undertone" and Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie") podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
r/Minneapolis If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, that's it for me. I've spent the last week checking on my neighbors, engaging with my city, my local police, everyone. I've supported my friends and family, made sure they knew they weren't alone in their feelings of hopelessness, powerlessness. I've called and emailed my representatives, demanding answers, demanding action. I've just been overcome with this overwhelming, almost primal need to care for and support my community. If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, and soldiers take to our streets, then that tears it for me. My son just turned 1yr. I've done my best to be a helper, so that I can still be around to support him and spend time with him. But if I have to STAND OUTSIDE in the FREEZING COLD and get the SHIT KICKED OUT OF ME by the people who are supposed to be protecting me, if I have to do that to fight for goodness, and righteousness, and justice, then that's what I'm gonna fucking do. I'm going to do it because this is not the future I want for my son. If you've been out on the streets, and you're tired, and you're hurting, don't worry. Rest when you need to. Because I know my home and I know my neighbors. When you need to rest, two more will replace you. I will be one of them. This is my home. Minneapolis is not going to quit. Minnesota is not going to quit. And FUCK EVERYONE who tries to come in here and take from us the PRIDE, LOVE, and COMMUNITY we've built. As long as I can stand, I'm going to plant my two feet between the oppressors and the home I love. I love you all. L'etoile du Nord.
Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day
The total capture of the DOJ, seemingly with very little pushback or resistance, is one of the most striking examples of the capitulation of American elites in the face of authoritarianism. It’s been less than a year, and federal prosecutions or investigations are already completely discredited.
Wonderful to talk about the year in movies again with Beatrice Loayza and Adam Nayman on The Last Thing I Saw! We discuss The Testament of Ann Lee, Sinners, Dracula, Afternoons of Solitude, and much much more soundcloud.com/the-last-thi...

Aww thanks for listening! I would say she is... priceless!
Richard Linklater’s sensitive portrayal of American lyricist Lorenz Hart, played with wit and frenetic energy by Ethan Hawke, brings us deep into the gossipy theatre-crowd milieu of old New York.

It is astonishingly ugly. People I once thought were decent are spouting delusional, baseless, vile stuff about what they "know" Mamdani believes and about what he's going to do. In NYC, this has turned into a real "Well, now we all know who we are" election. There'll be no bridging that rift.
DRACULA opens today! I spoke with Radu Jude about the matter (and One Battle After Another) on The Last Thing I Saw podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

It was a special honor to speak with the great Jafar Panahi on the latest episode of The Last Thing I Saw (especially mindful of how this was impossible the last time I wrote about him). His riveting new film IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT opens today - see it! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
