#lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky Good Luck Have Fun was enjoyable. It’s fun to watch Sam Rockwell be manic. Chloe is diluted Egoyan. Hooper was surprisingly annoying. Finally watched Chernobyl bc my wife watched it. Very good and very depressing.
I read these over and over until they were dust.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Three American citizens.
More than 75,000 Post readers cancelled their subscriptions after the recent cuts. An even larger number bailed after Bezos killed the endorsement of Harris, but now the decline feels terminal. Bezos does not want a great paper with a conservative opinion page (like the Wall Street Journal). He seemingly barely wants a paper at all, treating one of the most important American media institutions like an embarrassing child from a previous marriage that no longer fits his lifestyle.
This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“
A double-tap strike on little girls at school.
This “it’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…
Thanks for this!
Oh man - I totally forgot about scratch off games bubblegum cards. There was a Pac-Man one. What else? Other video games?
Found a nice big ant colony in the Ma-le'l North Dunes.
December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. 🔥🔥🔥

Have we all forgotten why Boy Scouts pretty much got disbanded in the first place? Pete should look that up.

Too many folks seem to think that the people who have stolen and hoarded all of our wealth, bombed half the world and destroyed the environment will, at some point, gain a conscience and proactively start fixing the messes they created. They won't. Grow up. And act accordingly.
They essentially eliminated all requirements to protect groundwater from radioactive waste
Wow. That is impressive.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
The UAE secretly paid Trump $187 million. Money in his pocket personally. And then Trump overrode decades of national security objections to selling Nvidia chips to UAE because we feared UAE would send the chips to China.
Corruption has consequences.

I think Wes put his fate into the hands of Jean-Luc Godard on this one.
That lead-up is amazing.
