This is absolutely *superb*, deeply engaged with Newman and Cool Hand Luke, but also about what makes a star an auteur, and what may be missing from star vehicles today. I just loved it. Angelica is a hell of a writer.
I wrote about Paul Newman, what makes a star-auteur, the kinds of faces I miss in cinema lately, and how seeing a great movie can become a spiritual experience. Thanks to @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social for existing. No paywall, everybody can read, baby. angelicabastien.substack.com/p/watching-c...

Revoking kids' visas because their parents criticized Elon Musk.
This wild document is the basis for the State Department's decision to cancel the visas and green cards of tech researchers who study the social media platforms and of tech regulators who enforce privacy and transparency laws. Disclosed to us last night in @thecoalition.bsky.social v. Rubio.

Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia. Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...
@timmiller.bsky.social what in the world were you going after Elizabeth Warren about. She gave a speech about not accepting money from rich donors and no longer letting that blunt the democratic agenda. Not the same as the lifelong pol from VT and his acolytes constantly smearing All democrats

@meidastouch.com @meiselasb.bsky.social You guys do valuable and well done work, but Please stop lying in your headlines. Sure gets you to the top of the ratings, but it is vital that the left abandons all the lying. The blizzard of lies from the right will never get lighter. We will always lose.

why winning matters with Judge Nancy Gertner "When you go roaring into court and you say, “This is illegal!” and a judge responds, “Yes, it is,” you begin to create a narrative so people have a sense of what the metes and bounds of our democracy are."

Yes. Eliminating CFPB will hurt thousands of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. Over 400,000 have called CFPB since it started. They just recently got over $80M returned to members of Navy Federal Credit Union for illegal overdrafts. Now they shut it down for the rich people.
🚨FYSA: The CFPB is being shut down—a direct hit to Veterans and Military families. It protected those who've served from predatory lenders and shady fees, returning billions to those wronged. Now, that’s over. Republicans say they support the Troops—it'd be nice if they showed it.

The MSM is not reporting on this. If the insect is spending money on 5 ads lying about NSAID tonight he will influence lots of wavering idiots. Are rich donors preparing to spend on instant widespread response? Or better yet ads telling the truth? Please. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/nfl/n...
