I think for an early year release, it’s more challenging to keep details of a movie top-of-mind if they’re less essential to the core story. Recalling the experience of Sinners after 10 months… it’s not Lindo you think about

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk have been continuously occupied by Russian regular and proxy forces since then

Let’s be honest, no one important is going to boycott a World Cup hosted between the USA, Canada and Mexico. No one even boycotted the one held in Russia after their initial invasion of Ukraine. Macron went to the final!

The satirical aspect of American Fiction is much less than you’d think from the trailers. It’s a bit of a bait and switch. Most of the movie is about his mom’s beach home

Trump and Netanyahu Meeting Is Expected to Focus on Gaza Cease-Fire The president will welcome the Israeli prime minister to the White House for his first in-person meeting with another world leader since returning to power.

Trump, given his current behavior, is likely to back Israeli open-ended campaigns in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, the West Bank, and even Iran, so long as the strikes stay off the front pages of the media he cares about in the U.S.

It seems like the trick to negotiating with Trump is to realize he doesn’t have any idea what the current facts are.
"Oh you want 10,000 troops?" says world leader who already deployed 15K. "Great 10k it is"

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices.

We hammered this time and time again and yet.

Absolutely the standard line of wealthy people who advocate the ‘bootstraps’ approach. I worked hard, I started a small business, I walked five miles to school, everyone who does the same thing as me will be successful and you don’t need benefits. All you need to know about is me, me, me, me

The Fallacy of the Abraham Accords Why normalization without Palestinians won’t bring stability to the Middle East.

From the start, the Abraham Accords were undergirded by faulty assumptions—namely, that peace and security in the Middle East could be achieved without resolving the Palestinian question, argues @elgindy.bsky.social.

It’s also not especially hard to name something that happened under the Articles of Confederation. The… victory at Yorktown? Independence? Winning the war and all that?

The new movie works best if you consider it as a simple jukebox musical, something close to camp. It’s more Mamma Mia than Haynes

It’s bizarre to see warnings that Syria “might become” Libya. It’s detached from reality. Syria over the past 14 years has been far more disordered, violent, brutal - all under Assad, who managed to achieve the rare combination of extreme repression & total chaos, neither freedom nor stability.

don't really feel like litigating Biden's choice, but the Hunter pardon really does illustrate the logic of the low trust equilibrium--which is to say, how corruption spreads itself through society.

Is Donald Trump a Hawk or Dove? With Curt Mills of The American Conservative Podcast Episode · Politics + Media 101 · 11/26/2024 · 1h 5m

Is Trump anti-war? @johnwgunnison.bsky.social and I debate this question with noted conservative think Curt Mills on today’s podcast episode.

No, John and I do not think Trump is anti-war. And his cabinet picks speak directly to this fact.

Sure, Farage hangs around the Trump people, but has he demonstrated any ability to persuade or influence them? Seems more like a mascot they laugh at. Haven’t seen this relationship lead to any gains for UK interests
