My one memory of Mulholland Drive is the lights turning on as the credits start to roll, me and my mom looking at each other with a "wtf was that?" look on our faces, and the old lady one row ahead of us mumbling "second time and still didn't get a single thing"
Mulholland Drive at 25! Twenty-five years ago today, Mulholland Drive was released in the US. To learn about how and why David Lynch altered the original TV pilot into a feature film, check out my book: Devious Dreams: www.amazon.com/Devious-Drea...

the reason my likely presidential candidate tier list has two people at the top - Ossoff and AOC - is that they are by far the most effective messengers of I Am Fucking Furious And There Must Be Consequences, which is the most deeply held conviction of the Dem base
Ossoff: "We are witnessing people drunk with power who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt, and obviously believe that they live with impunity. They believe they're untouchable. They believe they're invincible. Let's prove them wrong."

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!
Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

The most reliable indicator that a politician is about to drop out of a race or quit their job is the filming of a non-apology video while wearing casual clothes in a kitchen. We should invent a term for it.
Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

Reminder: This was a 6-5 vote in the Board of Supervisors. Someone visiting the waterfront today would think it nuts that anyone opposed it.
The Embarcadero, 1991 Embarcadero Freeway Demolition, view northerly, demolition in progress, the former stub end and second deck removed John Holtzclaw photographed the demolition in detail over the months it took. more here : sfmemory.org/search/index... #sfmemory #sfhistory
As per the arguments of the Trump admin to the Supreme Court, a birth certificate also wouldn't count unless you *also* have proof of your parent's immigration status / citizenship at the time of your birth. Good fucking luck to all poll workers checking all of this.
The SAVE America Act mandates that all voters must bring to the polls specifically a photo ID which has proof of citizenship “on the front of the document.” So REAL IDs don’t count. If the ID does not precisely conform to that standard, you must also bring separate proof of citizenship.

Additionally, it drives me crazy that the default position in this country is that being here undocumented is a crime. It’s not. Further, legal status isn’t a factor in whether someone should be murdered.
It’s impossible to move the debate forward when one side is committed to upholding a disinformation-fueled, dehumanizing false reality that leads to the state-sanctioned street killings of innocent people. There are not two sides to this particular story. Full stop.
At this point I would not be surprised to learn that Platner is a GOP asset tasked with getting Collins reelected
What Platner is doing right now is trying to ignite an intra-party nuclear exchange, so that he can tell the Maine Democrats that THE PEOPLE will not accept anything but him or his designated successor. This is the kind of thing Trump would do.
