Cinema is Expressionism. Much is made of Jaws’ Vertigo shot, but this moment more subtly illustrates film’s expressionistic tendencies. With each cut, Spielberg and editor Verna Fields cut to successive close-ups of Brody, integrating his internal anxieties and focus in the form of the film itself.

A quote tweet of a post by Tennessee Holler, which reads Marsha Blackburn wants the National Guard in Memphis. The quote from Jerri Green @Jerri_M_Green reads Marsha needs to worry about doing her damn job. If she's worried about crime she needs to make sure people have affordable housing and food. She should use the power of the federal purse to pour into crime prevention and violence intervention, not give tax breaks to her billionaire buddies. BTW - Crime is down in Memphis.

Get well, Mr. Mayor. Whoever did this is dethpicable.

On the evening of August 30, 2025 after taking a wrong turn somewhere near Albuquerque, Mayor Giuliani was involved in a motor vehicle accident. He was flagged down by a giant male rabbit dressed up as an attractive female rabbit who identified themself as having witnessed a “moyder”. Mr. Giuliani remained on scene until a duck and a pig dressed as Old English bobbys arrived.Following this incident, while traveling on the highway, Mayor Giuliani drove into what he thought was a tunnel, but which turned out to be a painting on the side of a mountain. Mayor Giuliani’s vehicle was crushed into the shape of accordion bellows, which emitted musical notes as they expanded and contracted . A flattened Mr. Guilini waddled free from beneath the wreckage, his enlarged teeth emerging from his mouth in the shape of piano keys.HIs business partner was promptly contacted, and he was admitted to Acme Looniversity Hospital, curiously under the care of the same rabbit he encountered earlier.That’s all, folks.F.

This honey-voiced woman who spends her life making babies smile has more courage than most of our elected leaders combined.

Instagram post from ms Rachel Leaders, What you don't realize is we won't be voting for you. We don't want our tax money bombing kids. You chose yourselves and we chose each other. You chose fear, dehumanization and money to try and save yourself. And you lost us.

Hey guys. There’s been a lot of confusion created by that right wing rag, @wired.com, over their super debunked claims we’re not denying. For the truth about the claims we’re operating like paid GOP influencers, visit my substack—which is owned by Nazi apologists—or Twitter—which is run by a Nazi.

Not a great look that all at once a bunch of people associated with Chorus are all releasing similar statements that attack the journalists who wrote the Wired article and not the content of the article itself. It's eroding the trust a lot of people place in the concept of "independent" media

That’s ridiculous, why are people so darned determined to look down on a simple program which promises to deliver real results to hard working Americans by utilizing compelling and unique voices in new media to create 4 quadrant influencer experiences with the momentum of a runaway freight train?

It’s also very funny that they’re all calling @wired.com a right wing rag when they’ve literally spent months going after Trump. Doing the thing, you know, these paid influencers claim to do.

Nothing says, “we weren’t collaborating with our private funders” quite like releasing similar statements to Nazi Twitter.

It's genuinely sickening that not only are Dems astroturfing their voters but that their voters are eating it up with a spoon and fucking begging for more

This is what irks me about the LGBTQIA+ orgs that were SILENT on @petebuttigieg.bsky.social parroting Republican anti-trans talking points turning around and condemning the Trump admin for acting on those very talking points. If we can't hold our OWN accountable, then we're not any better.

David Pakman @dpakman After a recent Wired hit piece - now fully debunked — false claims started circulating, and sadly some people chose to unsubscribe from my website membership, Substack, or unfollowed on YouTube. That outcome is exactly what the author was hoping for when they put out a misleading and inaccurate article. If you want to support what I do, please consider subscribing: The post includes links to David's substack, website, and YouTube. Aaron Parnas @aaronparnas.bsky.social Because of a recent Wired hit piece, that has now been debunked, misinformation spread like a wildfire and several people decided to unsubscribe from my Substack. This is what the author wanted, despite publishing a false article. Please consider subscribing to support my work today: The post links to Aaron's substack.

I just wanna know if David came up with this rancid take himself or if the DNC asked him.

It's weird that you keep spamming replies with this video, as if it makes David look any better. I want to know, as a Democrat, if David was paid to post this take.

"It's actually good when Democrats function like Republicans," is the exact type of logic that got us into this very situation, Cheryl Ann. Dems shouldn't take dark money. FULL STOP.
