When you see me again, it won't be me.
New video! 👁️ i use One Piece to illustrate and critique a famous Mark Twain essay about the enlightening effects of travel. Our shortest video yet, but still one that only we would have come up with! 😌 edited by @FunkyBunko youtu.be/9gCDLbpHdw0
"What gradual preparation can there be when one has to yell?" - Nabokov, "Breaking the News"
everyone sees a woman with muscles and thinks "muscle mommy," but what if she's a "muscle baby"? what if she is jacked and also a sweetheart and a princess who doesn't want to boss people around?
she heard "foot" in the title and signed on, no questions asked
Margot Robbie will star in Tim Burton’s remake of ‘ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN’ (Source: theinsneider.com/p/margot-robbi…)
"I have yet to see anything that could overturn the status of Tufan al-Aqsa – from 7 October to the most recent battle – as the greatest anti-colonial revolt of the twenty-first century." - Andreas Malm, The Destruction of Palestine Is the Destruction of the Earth
"I’ll forgive you everything, because someday we must all die, and then we shall know everything, and everything will be forgiven—so why put it off?" - Nabokov, "Music"
Malm gets an absurd amount of mileage from this analogy between the climate crisis and the Palestinian genocide. Tells you a lot about ruling class strategies and logics. ('The Destruction of Palestine Is the Destruction of the Earth')
The British Empire was already proposing to use Jews to colonize Palestine in 1840! 1840! ('The Destruction of Palestine Is the Destruction of the Earth,' Andreas Malm)
read this and started crying uncontrollably. can't even fully express why. gutted me.

"It is fun to be present at the coming true of a dream, even if it is not one’s own." - Nabokov, "The Visit to the Museum"
"We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks... And then, sometime later, we die." - Nabokov, "A Dashing Fellow"
i don't like this format in general, but using it for film is especially annoying. Orson Welles did not make Citizen Kane alone. Mankiewicz was 42 when he co-wrote the script. Gregg Toland was 36 and one of the best cinematographers in the business. Filmmaking is a collaboration.
Orson Welles made Citizen Kane at 26 years old PTA made Boogie Nights at 26 Kubrick made Paths of Glory at 26 Ryan Coogler made Fruitvale Station at 26 Chantal Akerman made Jeanne Dielman at 24 Jean-Luc Godard made Breathless at 29
"The best work in the Marxist tradition has always been done by revolutionaries who took Marx seriously but doctrinalism not at all." - Jairus Banaji, Theory as History
You know how the Gay Liberation Front used to fly the North Vietnam flag instead of a pride flag in solidarity with the Vietnamese? Serious LGBT+ organizers here should start flying the Palestinian flag in place of the pride flag. It's all one movement.
Toronto’s oldest gay bookstore kicked off Pride Month by hosting drag queens who romanticized Hamas. This is mental illness on full display.
