Another fascinating window into present-day Iran is the Oscar-nominated film It Was Just An Accident, by repeatedly-jailed Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi. Despite the heavy subject matter it's entertaining, beautiful, and oddly Coen-Bros-esque at times. Check it out!
(long story short: Trump will bail once this isn't over in a month, Netanyahu is just smashing whatever he can before Trump croaks, and the IRGC is Iran's military/police state/mafia who will outlast the invasion before declaring a new figurehead Ayatollah)
This conversation with Reza Aslan was one of the most illuminating and comprehensive explainers on Iran I've heard - namely their political structure, and particularly how the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps runs the country. Worth a listen.
I know this movie is set in Northern California, but being from Nova Scotia the vibes still massively resonate with me. Love everything about The Fog.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Surely nothing bad has ever happened when a critical mass of the population feel that their future has been ripped out from under them and that the only thing they have to look forward to is the steady erosion of their standard of living. Surely that always turns out fine.

My big hope is that Coogler is truly behind the wheel on this, while Carter is EP in name only. I love the show CC created in the '90s, but the '10s reboot did not make a great case for him having kept his skills sharp, or on the pulse (Alex Jones analogue is a GOOD guy, played by Joel McHale?!?)
It's... legally a movie.
I always understood Randal's a selfish jerk, but watching Clerks 3 (yes, I was the one who bought a ticket) I was like "has Randal been the villain of this franchise all along??"
Always fun to repost this old story about the actual high school I attended.
Sigh.
Come for the fun podcast with our first remote journalist guest! Stay for me revealing that I only remember "Wittgenstein" as a Simpsons reference, and don't actually know who the man is!
A totally-not Orwellian note explaining how TikTok removed our video and this was our first warning.
A second note telling us the video was removed for "misinformation", because apparently it was a totally different Elon Musk emailing Jeffrey Epstein on Christmas morning asking to go party on his evil pedophile island.
So this weekend TikTok removed our video about Elon Musk showing up in the Epstein files for "promoting misinformation", which we're sure has nothing at all to do with billionaire Trump megadonor Larry Ellison taking over control of TikTok's algorithm.
Billionaires who lobbied Trump to halt Canadian bridge praise EZ-Bribe App
Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.
Yeah dude! We full on watched Kristen Stewart host (the dress rehearsal) of SNL.
I forget if I mentioned this before, but we were in the SNL audience for dress rehearsal the night of this sketch. Absolutely murdered in front of a crowd.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that
It's me, I just shovelled out ice under our car.
Couples pregnancy app carefully dumbs down information sent to father
I was like, “haha, what a clever dark joke you added about Ailes”, and then watched the clip and couldn’t believe she *actually* said that, unironically.
Compounding the malice, there are absolutely no consequences for his failure. He’ll continue right on being unfathomably wealthy and never once for *a moment* in his life think he made a mistake, let alone destroyed careers, lives, and a vital public good.
Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
Amazon, Washington Post, the games industry - the goal of venture capital is to capture and eliminate vast employment sectors to hoard shareholder profits. Once everything is rubble, they'll force us all to "make do" with inferior AI versions of everything we used to take for granted.
