I think “Because I just don’t know enough about it” could apply to a LOT of what Trump says and does.

Proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
A deeply cynical take on the samurai genre that really needed more than 70 minutes to tell its multi-layered story.
My ★★★ review of Hideo Gosha’s “Samurai Wolf II: Hell Cut” (1967): opus.ing/diet/528173
It gets a bit muddled at times, with storylines that feel half-baked. But it’s all worth it to watch Walton Goggins saunter across the post-apocalyptic wasteland as a mutant bounty hunter.
My ★★★½ review of #Fallout, Season Two (2025):
Tsui Hark, Jet Li, and Rosamund Kwan are absent from the fourth “Once Upon a Time in China” film, which ultimately feels like a silly retread of its predecessors.
My ★★ review of Bun Yuen’s “Once a Time in China IV” (1993): opus.ing/diet/528047
The most outlandish aspect of this classic “end of the world” sci-fi flick is the wealthy industrialists who donate their fortunes, no strings attached, for the good of humanity.
My ★★★ review of Rudolph Maté’s “When Worlds Collide” (1951): opus.ing/diet/528066
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
An ambitious and earnest but ultimately vapid film about human connection.
My ★★ review of Andrew Stanton’s “In the Blink of an Eye” (2026):
AI companies (and their investors) sure do seem to love imagining a future in which human artistry, creativity, and talent are devalued in favor of ease and convenience (and lots and lots of money).
I cannot think of a single actor today who has the charisma of fox Robin Hood. that's gotta be the real reason it's not moving forward. who tf can pull off proposing to Maid Marion during a stampede? NO ONE, that's who
Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.
5 years ago today, the 4th and final #Evangelion film was released in Japanese theaters, bringing Hideaki Anno’s ambitious and convoluted “Rebuild of Evangelion” project to a close.
I’ve been an Evangelion fan for decades and wrote this to try and make sense of it all.
Christians sure do love their acronyms. My ’90s college group once threw a rave (I know, I know) but advertised it as a “Righteous Adventure in Vital Encouragement,” or something like that.
The women in Blackwater Holylight make music that exists at the crossroads of metal, grunge, psychedelia, and shoegaze. Listen to one of the highlights from their new album, now available on @suicidesqueeze.bsky.social.
I assume the people who were offended by Obama’s tan suit will also call out Trump’s disrespectful behavior. Right? Right?!
This week’s newsletter features articles on punk rock, a movie pioneer, classic websites, Make America Hot Again, and more.
Share a TV show you love with a catchy theme song! 📺🎵
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
But Obama wore a tan suit once
I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.
christians looking for jesus in every war we start, every missile we fire, every conquering despot we crown, and never in the one place jesus promised he could be found: among the poor, the starving, the oppressed.
A group of 15 servicemembers say their commander told them: “Trump has been annointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran that will cause Armageddon.” That’s just one of dozens of similar complaints. Holy shit. WHERE IS THIS STORY IN THE U. S. PRESS?

These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
Couple things here:
1. What the fuck
2. I am allllllmost more offended by the suggestion that I would give this shitbox edit than having my identity stolen
3. The CEO is scheduled to be on Decoder soon and we will see if they back out!

Now here’s a heck of a Bandcamp deal: The *entire* Handful of Snowdrops catalog is currently on sale for less than $17, or 85% off. The Canadian band has released some of the best post-punk and darkwave in recent history, like 2015’s “III.”
Confession time: Curve has always been one of those bands that I know I should be more familiar with than I actually am. After all, “goth-dancefloor shoegaze” is squarely in my wheelhouse. Thus, I’ve taken this article as inspiration to address this particular gap in my musical experience.
we are governed by psychopathic shitposting children
Also, I know it’s a cliché at this point, but if Obama had ever responded with “I guess” to a question about American lives being endangered, most of the GOP and all of Fox News would’ve had a collective aneurysm.
