The voice and method and feeling and ambition and love of contemporary television criticism would be practically unimaginable without Matt Zoller Seitz.

Buy some books from his wonderful store!

Ugh feel like cultural progress has been moving backwards. Rise in vegan foods having been a trend that is no longer in fashion. Learning that the company where I was on the DEI committee & helped design pride flag patterns is now refusing to support influencers who make a red hat.Shit is depressing

I am horrified at how evil this is.

But I'm also horrified at how bad this is.

I've seen One Direction edits that go harder than this.

Hah, probably! Looks like they sent me the email in late Feb but it went to my spam folder and I just found it last night. I’d really been looking forward to it πŸ₯²

Yeah I need this. Been a frustrating week, being sad more people aren’t signing up for my patreon even after a major price drop and just learned last night I didn’t get accepted to table a zine fest I applied for. Maybe zines were not a good new career choice πŸ™ƒ but at least I don’t use ai!

For anyone who missed this, it’s only 5 bucks now to get a new nicely-printed zine in your mailbox every month!

I want anyone who wants them to be able to get them so I’m trying for as low of a cost-barrier as possibly possible! Only $2 for the zine files, $6 for the zine+knitting pattern files!

This is my 6th month doing the paid patreonβ€”starting in March I’ll be retiring some older downloads so you won’t have access to everything I’ve ever posted there. For now however, new members do indeed have access to everything! That’s a lot of zines & knitting patterns! www.patreon.com/LeeDoesStuff

ZineLibrary

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.

Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

And now the top 5...I actually had a few days when I was planning on calling this a five-way tie for first because I couldn't decide on the order. For a long time (like, most of the year) | had Sinners at number 1. In the end, l rewatched all five of these, and I landed on a weird order based partially on wanting my list to be uniquely mine, hah! Twinless is the one that rose up the highest above the first viewingβ€”I liked it a lot out of the theater, but I hadn't even had it in my top 10 most of the year! My rewatch was, like, so good - it was better than I remembered and I just absolutely loved it and basically want to spread the word so everyone knows it's worth checking out. Anyway, all five of these are fantastic and basically tied and you should see all of them!!
5. Weapons. So ridiculous. So much fun. Just a bonkers time.
4. The History of Sound. Beautiful and heartbreaking and thoughtful and there's mending even.

The reality is: those of us on the academic side who have been saying that this is a fascist secret police engaged in ethnic cleansing operating unaccountable death camps for the last 5 to 6 months have been right and everyone trying to downplay that have either been doing so in bad faith or lying.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women β€” and interactions with them β€” through the lens of sex

And ICE shot out the windows of apartments nearby. They used this munition to do it. They also shot people with this.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
