Final days of fine-tuning The Man with the Big Hat before festival submissions. Just took a look at the end credits & it feels incredible to see this thing, willed into existence, after so many years of being dismissed or ignored. Fuck yeah #filmsky #docsky #docusky www.themanwiththebighatfilm.com

Today in 1921, miners began marching towards Blair Mountain, the largest labor uprising in US history. "I'm still a union man in my heart...I'm still fighting," said Nimrod Workman. He was there. 📷 "Nimrod Workman: To Fit My Own Category," Scott Faulkner, Anthony Slone, 1975.
really just a matter of time before this happens and they aren't impersonators

that's good because it doesn't look very aerodynamic...
Don't we all...
I have covered a lot of disturbing Trump admin moves in my day. The potential outcome - a win for Trump in this case - worries me more than anything so far.
A huge basin of rainwater and snowmelt dammed by Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier has started to release, and officials on Tuesday urged residents in some parts of Juneau to evacuate ahead of what could be a record surge of floodwater downstream.
Our brains are actually cardboard boxes masquerading as filing cabinets. Facts get tossed in the boxes to be sorted out later, and later never actually arrives.
Really, read this first before commenting on it. Also, JD-the-fake-Appalachian ain't from here.

What does JD Vance do besides take luxury vacations? 📌 Off to yet another vacation in a $10K/wk English manor while Americans struggle to afford groceries.
yep
It's just going to be saline solution and they'll call it good. If you still get sick, it's your own fault.
When I left Substack in 2024 I wrote: "For those who are staying because they think the Nazi problem is fake or overblown...just wait. Substack mgmt just put out the welcome mat for some pretty horrible people. Many will surely answer.” Surprise! A bunch did. New Racket w/ @marisakabas.bsky.social
Horus is obviously heads above the rest.
Sure, why let people trained in safety be in charge of safety measures when a faceless bureaucrat can save the company money by cutting corners? Gaaah...

Gotta be honest here, I'm feeling pretty proud (and not just a wee bit smug) that my degrees are from a state university in Illinois, and this sort of cowardly action won't happen there.
what is the news on Merle?
Someone needs to pin him down on exactly how much money we're each going to get and how we will get it.
he's also losing vast quantities of combover hairs
he doesn't know the difference between an IQ test and a dementia screening.
So, did Thomas Massie vote on the resolution or was he one of the Republicans not voting at all?
if you took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test you failed both the dementia test and the IQ test

This seems to be the holding area where Trump’s Gestapo is putting some of the zip-tied farm workers they’re kidnapping in Camarillo. This was a few minutes ago. They’re still terrorizing this large greenhouse facility at Glass House farm.

During normal times, yes. But it’s not like ICE has high standards at this point. 📌 Trump‘s megabill gives billions to ICE — but hiring 10,000 new agents won't be easy www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
All I can think of is: "how the hell is that guy in the middle holding up all that weight on his face? Is there some kind of workout exercise to prepare for something like that?"
Tiffany Cross called it exactly what it is. Thousands have been disappeared. Immigrants are being sent to concentration camps while people debate the language instead of the atrocities. They’re concentration camps. Plain and simple. This is state violence.
Imma guessing Portland gonna bully Homan and his asshat agents outta the state.
Goes for bragging on one's IQ as well; just saying...
This is Oatie. He’s making sure you’re doing alright. There’s a lot going on right now so if you’d like a hug or maybe a snuggle he’s available. 12/10 (IG: blueoatie)

Gee, I would have guessed he left his heart in San Francisco. Where he was born.
Everybody already knew about his drug use! He's been bragging about it almost forever.
My family spent my younger years living in an immigrant housing project in Buffalo NY. I was able to speak more than a half dozen languages before I was 13 years old.
Mid 20th century #bees are thriving. Can’t have that! Let’s start poisoning them. Still there? Fuck it let’s take their food and #habitat away. Still hanging on? Persistent little feckers aren’t they? Don’t worry…we’ve fucked the #climate that should do them once and for all! And us? Yeah and us.🐝🌍

turns out Trump's big bill is going to cost all of us our healthcare, because Mike Johnson is just going to leave the vote open until we all die of natural causes
Mushy pea green is a color that does not occur in nature. It is quite amazing.
Mine is a can mushy peas I brought home from Rochdale in 1991 just to show people here in the USA that such a thing exists. Never opened, still collecting dust in the pantry.

So what he's actually proposing is real-time human testing. This should turnout just fine...
LOL, what he fails to understand is that most of Massie's supporters are more libertarian than MAGA.
Jack Richardson, the former chair of the Louisville GOP and current member of the Republican Party of Kentucky executive committee, says he's proposing a resolution to censure Congressman Thomas Massie at the next meeting of the GOP group.

Ian McKellen's spoken-word bit of Invisible Light (Scissor Sisters, Glastonbury) ok all the things, right, but also REALLY USEFUL in teaching about what many think of as 'Shakespearean' delivery (really a very specific elocution training path) and popular music.
Steve is distant from the group today. He is thinking about shenanigans.
The purpose of asking Mamdani over and over to condemn “globalize the intifada” is to create the impression he actually said that, and he didn’t. But the smear campaign is working. Many people now think he did say that. It’s insidious, dishonest, and essentially racist.
🔥Respect to Jasmine Crockett, a true fighter & fierce voice for accountability. She’s raised millions, mobilized the base, and never shied away from confrontation. But here’s a warning: Dems in Congress better start backing the real fighters or risk alienating the base. @repjasmine.bsky.social 1.

another day to mark and never forget www.auschwitz.org/en/museum/ne...
The Trump regime has created a climate where "law enforcement" can act lawlessly and do so with impunity. Whether the assassin was an actual cop or a convincing imposter, it's this climate which made his methods possible. This is a reckoning moment.
This is the same person?!
If you are not free to leave, you are under arrest. I don't care what else they want to call it. They are violating Posse Comitatus and that is it.
No Kings!
I want to see him win a foot race chasing down a protestor.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?
TEXAS license plate on that truck? WTF?

I am furious — incandescently furious — over the attacks on science by Trump and his regime, especially the actions of RFK Jr., which, *as history has plainly show us*, result in deaths upon deaths. You want the receipts? I've got the receipts. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/standing-u... 🧪
Either they’re training to subdue & being instructed to hand detained protesters over to police reasonably quick; they’re about to start violating the constitution on a grand scale; or Trump is now hours or days away from declaring LA residents in a state of open rebellion against the United States.
I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.
Blue Grosbeak? Nice!
🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸
Hot take. The government isn’t subsidizing university budgets. Universities are lending subsidized expertise to research and development that contributes to the public good. It’s called partnership.
There's always somebody bigger who thinks they will always win, until the rest of us realize that we have to stand together to protect what *WE* built together. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BRH...
