THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS was, in my opinion ... pretty good (ducks, runs away) ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Haven't revisited since 2003 or so, and in my memory this was the best W. Anderson and a masterpiece. Imagine my surprise to discover I like maybe five of his films better.
Cast is good, dialogue is sharp, features one of my very favorite Hackman roles, beautifully shot, strong art direction ... somehow didn't add up to me. Less than the sum of its excellent parts.
I think now for me its:

BUDAPEST ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
MOONRISE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
FOX ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
RUSHMORE⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
TENENBAUMS⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
ISLE OF DOGS ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
BOTTLE ROCKET ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
ZISSOU ⭐️⭐️⭐️

(haven't seen DARJEELING)

And this is why it is necessary to decline debate with people who have proved themselves unworthy of your time.
I discussed this idea at length in this thread.

We're not debating unacceptable premises, and we're not wasting our time on people whose goal is wasting our time.

Also: debate is a tool. We should know what it's for, and (crucially) what it's NOT for.

"We will abandon these children we stole, not because it is easy, but because it is cruel."
My wish this morning is that everyone would grow eyes and ears for how often the unchallenged argument for not enacting a clear moral imperative is simply "that would be hard."

This was the crux of my frustration with Brown's statement earlier. It's not to say the details of a "Medicare for all" proposal are above criticism; it's that the announcement merely signifies a predetermination to abandon the goals of such a proposal.

What the fuck does “practical” mean, if it means we won’t care for the sick?

Try again, dude.
I mean I’m just spitballing but maybe what we first need is a recognition that universal healthcare is a human right and a political will to deliver it, and “Medicare for all” is a useful way to express that recognition and indicate that will.
If you don’t think “Medicare for all” works as universal healthcare policy than give us your vision of universal healthcare that will, because otherwise all you’re saying is that you aren’t going to work for universal healthcare and if that’s the case we’ll find someone who will.

I am fat. I know it. It’s hard to not know it when I’m 5’1” and weigh 200#. It stares me in the face daily. But I’m not dead and I’m usually very happy so I’ll take fat over dead and sad any day.
Let me back track a bit so you understand why I’m totally fine w/ myself and 3/

Alright, so last week I promised to run a thread of all of the @UK_Patterson Security and Intelligence comps questions that I've asked since arriving here in 2005.
Turns out that was a lie; I only have the list since 2007. But nevertheless, let's proceed. These questions are kind of a running history of US national security policy since 2007, mediated by my own personal obsessions and intellectual tics.
It's important to understand that the question is only a prompt for the student to tell me what s/he knows. Students can answer in whatever way they feel appropriate, and are evaluated (in oral defense) on the strength of that answer.

I can't say this enough, lakini it's really important kwangu and I think to any person in the arts who would like to make it sustainable.

This is my thinking, based on observation, learning and experience.
Jana at Blanket or any public space that I interact with people it's always "unatoa project lini? Umepotea wapi?"
Customer based intervention - it's not like doing things for people and what people like/popular at the time but knowing who likes what and why..about your art.

The strange rebirth of Liberal England (THREAD): Lib Dems are having a pretty good set of elections (haven’t been able to say that for a while). Here are a few places which prove there’s life in the dead parrot yet. Obvious first, Richmond and Kingston. V good gains against Cons.
But also the Lib Dem corpse is twitching in the north of England against Labour. V good gains in Hull.
And places like Sunderland, Shefffield and Liverpool too. They’re modest but they’re there.

Good morning, babies. It's taken me a couple of days to locate a transcript of Trump's Pensacola campaign speech. In a few minutes I'm going to begin a dive into it.
Reminder (or alert, for new followers) that what I do isn't fact-checking. I'll sometimes highlight falsehoods, but that's not my main skill set. I recommend leaving that to professionals. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
What I do is analyze Trump's speeches and interviews the way I might analyze a story, or any other bit of communication. Language and character are my specialties.

Good morning my friends. Let me start the day by sharing a small story from my academic work in medieval numismatics. For your enjoyment. Kindly peruse this coin. (Those in the know kindly do not spoil for others. Non-expert-so-far disclaimers apply.) 1/n
At first glance this is a Persian coin. A ‘Sassanian’ Persian coin to be more precise. There are numerous signature features. On the obverse (the front) you can see the king with his bearded face and winged headgear, ornaments around the neck. All standard Sassanian features.
On the reverse is the fire altar, of Zoroastrian fame. The Sassanians, on the eve of Islamic conquest, were Zoroastrians of course. Note attendants on either side of the altar holding swords or staffs of some kind. Again pretty standard for this kind of coin. So far so good. 3/n
