Laika doesn't raise (all) of its own money the same way other studios do ("officially" or otherwise), they have a different pipeline, etc; and starting with this one their distributing through Fathom which is a VERY different arrangement from most theatrical releases (pluses and minuses 🤷‍♂️)

Not super familiar with this outlet and I try NOT to do "callout" posts so DON'T take this as that BUT: IMO framings like this don't help good movies, even if meaning to. "WILDWOOD" deserves to be more seen, but it also *exceeded* its financial expectations and had unique financing and distribution

Bolosonaro is being investigated for being on honest to God Brazilian crime lord who was running to do for him and his crime family what our President did for his, lost, then fled Brazil illegally, and if Dems aren’t running this story 24/7 for the next week they are leaving real votes on the table.

Hey everyone, just wanted to say I was a little misinformed, I'm sorry. This only applies to servers that are large in scale and are discoverable / public. My bad. I'm still not the biggest fan of this feature, but it's not as bad as I anticipated when I first saw it.

The use of score in YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is oppressive. The reaction shot/reverse shot linger edit is astonishingly intrusive and dishonest. The whole project is an attempt to undermine the myth of documentaries as "truth." It's a masterpiece of fuck you and the best way to catch a sociopath.

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

Yup! all the more reason why we love Lula and his buddies so much :)

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

this is a perfectly reasonable list, imo these four are all monumentally awful on trans issues and this is a more than fair place to draw the line, especially given how the elections currently look - three of them are in the house, where dems will romp regardless, and iowa can do better than turek

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?

theprint.inWho is Erika Hilton? Black trans politician was one of Lula’s loudest campaignersErika Hilton’s electoral triumph comes amid a hostile environment. Brazil has the highest number of reported murders of transgender people in the world, with 80 recorded in 2025.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

i think "vote dem across the board, but for the 4 very worst dems on trans rights you can leave them blank" is a reasonable position (& a reasonable compromise between vbnmw & fears about dems going full uk labour)

The thing about getting people to vote for you is you have to actually offer them something "Im gonna segregate your community you slur, but vote for me cause maybe I wont harm other people as much as the other guy" is about as compelling as suggesting rat poison as a snack.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Heartbroken to learn of @bauzilla.bsky.social’s passing. He was truly a one-of-one talent - and an incredibly happy, kind soul & fantastic conversationalist. I had the honor of interviewing him for Space Jam 2 & he launched into all Looney Tunes voices with the greatest ease. #RIPEricBauza

I'll admit I'm scared. This is my 26-28 wishlist: 1) A big blue wave, BUT… 2) for the worst of the transphobic Dems to NOT win, AND… 3) for the party to resist the emergence of more transphobes going forward, AND… 4) a '28 Dem win who ISN'T a transphobe, AND… 5) Day one repeal of the passport BS.

I think we need marches in the capital of: * Every state with trans bathroom bans * Every state with trans sports bans * Every state where a Democratic candidate in the 2026 elections has turned transphobic. I think we need to demand: * No bathroom bills * No sports bills

I think we need to push HARD on the fact that SCIENCE HAS OUR BACKS. 1) ALL the major medical orgs support trans healthcare, including for trans children: bsky.app/profile/moxi...

Moxie Mummy@moxiemeow.bsky.social

Literally every single major medical org in the US-- ALL the big household names like the AMA, ANA, etc-- support gender-affirming care for trans adults AND CHILDREN. Here, in this thread, is the proof. American Medical Association statement: www.ama-assn.org/press-center...
