Lol, I almost didn’t finish Enemy because I wasn’t really feeling it and my partner arrived when there was still ten minutes left in the movie. I’m not sure that I felt it was a great film or anything still, but my evaluation definitely would’ve been more than typically lacking had I not finished it.

This is what makes it one of my favorites


Also, I liked Us more than Parasite if I’m being forced to put them up against each other.

What’s a good word for the “feel” or style of Good Time and Uncut Gems? Kinetic? Hyperpathos? Dope?

I've never read the book but in the show it just seems like it's "a pennywise"

ya ive never read the dark tower but I’m aware thru osmosis that pennywise has siblings/offspring

i figure a monster that feeds on grief has gotta be closely related to one that feeds on fear

gently caress it, I'm rewatching X-Files now that I have Hulu again.

Hulu surprisingly has a lot of good movies and documentaries. There's more on there to watch than Netflix.

A mind-bogglingly lovely UI though, atleast on roku.

Some time ago, possibly years in a previous incarnation of this thread, someone, I think it may have been Lil' Mama, posted some resources about union organizing. Does anyone have those still?

I want to apply for a job as an organizer and want to learn as much as I can before I go through the process. It's a dream job and I want to give myself the best chance possible at getting it.

Thanks.

This is pretty much the book I direct everyone to that asks me about organizing. LaborNotes has suspended their online store but they have pretty much the entire book on their website: https://labornotes.org/secrets/handouts

That’s a great general overview of strategy and tactics. For a good brief history of labor organizing (history is crucial for understanding what you’re organizing against and the pitfalls to look out for) check out No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age by Jane McAlevey. I’ve found it useful for preparing for the inevitable Alinskyites you’re going to encounter, especially in leadership roles within unions like the SEIU.

The best thing you can do outside of these two resources is to absorb as much labor history as you can, which is a wide and deep well (it can also be kinda expensive because a lot of the good stuff is out of print). Some personal faves:

Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression

Black Bolshevik: the autobiography of an Afro-American Communist

Reds or Rackets? The Making of Radical and Conservative Unions on the Waterfront.

“Manic” is a great way to describe that film, from its pacing to its camera work. It gives me such a pleasurable discomfort.

I'm also autistic and somehow I've managed not to commit any hate crimes. The most vicious attacks you can expect out of me are lengthy rants about people who own a Crosley turntable. The mere implication that this man's behavior is a product of ASD or should otherwise because excused because he's on the spectrum is loving disgusting.

Anyway, as if we're not in a Verhoeven movie enough check out this picture of people protesting outside of OCP headquarters.



That was exactly my point! I’ve got mad haters in my twitter group dms.

Also, i dont even think he’s autistic, the blog he writes for, autisticmercury, is a neoreactionary redpill ironybro site. It looks like its for the kind of dudes that think Varg isnt dorky enough.

The film is somewhat anti-imperialist, but the actual SMG take is that: 1) it's simultaneously anti-immigration and 2) the planet is effectively an elaborate simulation of nature produced by the Massive Alien Brain-Trees to feed off of peoples' minds.

Avatar's a perfectly normal and average movie, but it's also the kind of movie where every single thing that happens is very subtly hosed up in some way. It's like watching a typical romantic comedy.

hell yeah

The TV show did a bit of that, there was a terminator who got sent back way to far in the past, figured it out due to the position of the stars and had himself bricked into a wall and went into sleep mode until he could burst through the wall at the right time for a dramatic entrance.

The way I understand it is that the stimulus bill was attached to the 2021 budget bill, which is why all this other random poo poo is in there. It’s 5,000 pages. So that stuff wasnt added to a stimulus bill — a stimulus bill was added to a budget bill.

Of course tho this distinction doesnt really matter unless you’re the type of person that puts “politics junkie” in their bio. Either way, our rulers absolutely hate us.
