@blewis1103 @arshydarling This was when rocky told him that he is going to give grace the fuel to go home.

This scene in particular is one of my favorite things Ryan Gosling has ever done on screen.
Brian Rowe@mrbrianrowe
Ryan Gosling has rarely been better than he is in Project Hail Mary. He gives a funny, emotional, very appealing and always captivating movie star performance that makes the film soar. I know it’s only March, but he is already a strong contender for a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

I was also in Cuba. Same day.
Cuban taxi driver told me:
“They tell us on TV that we love Iran! Why should I love Iran? I love Cuba! Viva Trump. Viva Israel. Please Trump invade us” 🧐
hasanabi@hasanthehun
cuban doctors told me they have to sew up patients mid surgery when the generators run out of gas but maga on here are too busy lying about the ppl that went out to cuba w aid to turn everything into a distractive spectacle. pure maga propaganda. you’re cattle if you fall for it.

@flackospalace @JayVTheGreat why shouldnt america blockade, an anti american russian proxy 16 miles of its coast?
English
It’s something supremely saddening and infuriating about American communists who benefit from a capitalist system, go to an actual communist country to exploit the oppressed people there, and blame America for the oppression that’s being imposed by communism.
James🔻@GoodVibePolitik
There’s something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death.

At the Salvador Allende hospital in Havana today, when the Puerto Rican delegation brought their huge suitcases of medicine in. The entire U.S. government didn't want this to happen, and the activists made sure Cuban doctors would get supplies anyway. Incredible people.

It doesn’t have anything to do with the decades of crippling sanctions, blockades, political destabilisation, etc?
Dr. Maalouf @realMaalouf
This is what Cuba, the left’s socialist utopia, looks like after 65 years of communism. And of course, it’s all the fault of the United States, because socialism is good and America is bad.

For decades, First Nations people in British Columbia knew their ancestral homes—villages forcibly emptied in the late 1800s—were great places to forage for traditional foods like hazelnuts, crabapples, cranberries, and hawthorn.
A 2021 study revealed that isolated patches of fruit trees and berry bushes in the region's hemlock and cedar forests were deliberately planted by Indigenous peoples in and around their settlements more than 150 years ago. It's one of the first times such "forest gardens" have been identified outside the tropics, and it shows that people were capable of changing forests in long-lasting, productive ways.

@filmstofilms_ Idk about best, but my favorite is Good Will Hunting followed by Get Out

@OscarRunnerUp Actually a surprisingly good lineup, but definitely gotta go with RRR
English
If the five most recent Best Original Song winners were in the same category, what would get your vote?
"El Mal" from Emilia Pérez
"Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters
"Naatu Naatu" from RRR
"No Time to Die" from No Time to Die
"What Was I Made For?" from Barbie

Kelly Marie Tran reflects on the backlash she faced for THE LAST JEDI nearly 10 years after its release. “I will say, when I think about that time, which was ten years ago now, the thing that I think I didn't understand was that it wasn't my fault. My first reaction was to internalize everything that I was receiving. And use it as evidence that I wasn't supposed to be there... If it happened to me now as someone who has been through ten years of therapy and joined support groups and done all this work on myself, I think that I would have had a very different experience.” (Source: cbr.com/kelly-marie-tr…)

Every fighter who complains about fighter pay w/o talking to their coworkers & trying to do something about it collectively is just blowing smoke. United you bargain, divided you beg
English
The cycle of UFC stars- think youre too cool to worry about fighter pay, enjoy the temporary high of being on top of the sport, then only gradually realize you were being underpaid, but still not having the sense of solidarity to team up w/ other fighters & do something about it

was ready, willing and physically able to step in. I was willing to take substantially less than the Aspinall ask but they wouldn’t budge one dollar over $15m. I felt like our fight was worth more. x.com/zmfr15/status/…

@firewalkwjaime There's also probably a silver lining to ppl not talking about it as much. With all the attn OBAA & Sinners have gotten, they've gotten a lot of positive stuff said about em, but also a bunch of negative bullshit. Might be better to not be as talked about

@lnteGritty Again, I asked for ~realistic~ actions. Obviously there would be better actions to take ~if we had a bigger and more organized left~, which we don't. Given the current capacity of the left, I cannot think of a better ~realistic~ action to take than this, hence my question
English
@DavidLeftyMA Ah, you admit better actions exist.
Why would you need me to list them for you? You are capable.
CodePink hagiographers have jumped the damn shark on this — no way in hell am I throwing y’all free chum for more of your bad-faith feeding frenzy.
All for bourgeois charity, smdh.
English
If people going to Cuba on their own dime and delivering aid is “performative” then i wish a lot of you would get more performative right now.
English
@lnteGritty I know that, in an abstract sense, there are obviously better actions that could be taken. I asked you to name one ~realistic~ better option than the flotilla and you didn't, because you can't. Sorry to break it to you, but posts criticizing praxis aren't praxis
English
@DavidLeftyMA If you think this specific action is the best that can be done, you aren't much of a historian.
English
@lnteGritty @barbarismcrit Genuinely, what do you think people could realistically do more than help deliver and distribute aid to people being suffocated by an empire. Please give me even just one specific example of something that would be better for people to do.
English
@barbarismcrit Aid impact is measured not by state propaganda but by large-scale improvement on the ground.
Trump has pushed Cuba into dire crisis. Helping Cubans will take massive, sustained work.
People are correct that stunts help very little. Why not challenge people to go for more?

🇵🇸We have finished distributing Eid clothing to a number of children in Gaza, but the needs of the displaced are still great, and with the continuation of the difficult conditions, our relief work is threatened with stopping due to the lack of donations.
