And here’s the trailer for BEING HEUMANN. In cinemas Nov 6, streaming on AppleTV Nov 13. I saw it last night at the London Film Festival & it’s a triumph.

Elon Musk is too big to trust. A THREAD.

The Editorial Board@editorialboard.bsky.social

1. The Wall Street Journal and CBS News confirmed that Elon Musk was involved in the decision to stall out Starshield, the military version of Starlink, when Ukraine needed it most. www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-mu...

nobody stopped Musk before he broke the state monopoly on violence, so now either he goes or the nation-state does

Ukraine says the abrupt throttling of US-funded Starshield grounded dozens of drones mid-flight, costing one unit $1M+, and halted some strikes for three days (New York Times) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

So: never got confirmation my ballot had been received so I checked. For whatever reason they never got it. After helpful emails w military/overseas voter support, I re-sent my ballot (YES on 40, NO on 41 & 42). In any case, make sure your ballot arrives & is counted! www.vote.org/ballot-track...

California voters: Don’t fall for billionaires’ tricks. Vote YES on Prop 40. Vote NO on Props 41 and 42. Let me explain.

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

almost every serious societal ill we have had in america - education, health care, drugs, crime, economic disparity can be directly drawn to what reagan/bush did from 1981-1993. democrats are too busy talking about the fucking gipper to make the case.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

What I find coolest about this performance is that there’s no effect on the keyboard when he plays. Just pure total driving piano. His facial hair, vest, “tie”, skipping to the keyboard etc suggest you’re about to hear some purple SYNTH. But no; clean-ass gorgeous PIANO melody. Shocker.

It’s still uniquely rare for disabled people to be in prestige publications or fashion spaces. So, I wrote a behind-the-scenes at November’s British Vogue: including my interview with Ruth Madeley, and that time I saw Angela Rayner’s 5 ft pink flamingo. frances336.substack.com/p/behind-the...

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt

CNN@cnn.com

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

real democracy is a holy thing. that DSA offers folks a genuine experience of collective self-empowerment is the biggest green flag for me. it means it can be prefigurative of a world where everyone experiences that feeling on a regular basis. as it grows, the new world becomes materially more real.

Gilia capitata@giliacapitata.northsky.social

this is one of the things that I think is really valuable about DSA. It's an education is what democracy really is, and I honestly don't know any other place an American can experience that

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Racism as an idea... kinda dumb Racism as a feasible functional praxis? a disaster

Watched Powell & Pressburger’s 49th Parallel last night. From 1941. Essentially some Nazis run around Canada & in an odyssey of sorts & meet ppl from different walks of life (Christian communists, wacky fur trappers, a selfish writer, an Arctic First Nation tribe, customs officers, a draftee)

who collectively - and beautifully - illustrate the coalition that assembles clumsily, creakily, humanly to fight evil. INVALUABLE watch as we assemble the popular front to vanquish Trump, the GOP & corporate Dems who aren’t up to the task.
