this week, we return to queer african cinema, to deal with some unfinished business from PRIDjunE 2026, sadly, the queer aspect of the film is by far the worst part of it, the main gay guy getting stabbed to death by a jealous ex whose frustrated he's 'going straight'

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

the gay guy is not the lead though, but it is possible to read the lead also as gay, neverthelss the focus of her story is a reckoning with her past, and with her loveless marriage,

this film is built on a bedrock of reactionary classism, but, to be honest, i kind of consider that table stakes for a film produced in tsarist russia and what the film builds on top of those table stakes, is completely remarkable for a work of 1913

god i'm so fucking nervous about the election bolsonaro maintaining a 2 point lead in almost every poll, of course the margin of error is two points, but historically at least, that has tended to break the other way, thanks to shy bolsonaristas

this is a film about the long shadow of rape, but it is also a film that boxes from the raped woman's corner, something i am very much not used to seeing after confiding the tale of her rape in her husband, she is cast out, but when her husband later comes crawling back to her, she dismisses him

brasil is looking really scary as we approach the second round of voting, and i don't know how lula can deal with the fact the international tech giants like meta are trying to make him lose

the grand fascist international looking to complete their 100% capture of south america (i can't speak for uruguay, paraguay, guyana or suriname, but argentina/chile/peru/bolivia/colombia/venezuela have all fallen to the fash)

she shies away from even considering laurence and jehanne to even be 'lesbian-like' (a term she invented to describe women who choose to remain unmarried, crossdressing women, women who exist in homosocial spaces like convents etc.) persons let alone lesbian persons this historian is a lesbian btw

Erinnerung daran dass die CDU ganz empört war wenn sie bei dem Demos gegen rechts auch mal erwähnt wurde

Frederik Mallon@freddy.volksverpetzer.de

Der Rechtsextreme Rausch bekommt 48 Stimmen bei der Wahl zum LT-Präsidenten in LSA. 39 von der AfD. 5 vom BSW. 4 von??? 29 Stimmen dagegen 24 wohl von R2G 5 von?? Nach Adam Ries hat die AfD also die CDU-Fraktion zerrissen.

they sure do love their terminology, apparently some of the terms don't even have broad meaning in japanese, a true secret language protecting the rest of the world from understanding mahjong

another week, another new country! we need to niger this week for a film by the countries first director moustaphe alassane!! femmes, voitures, villas, argent sadly, its not good!!!
