This is how media lies to you in real time.

Sandy Steers did enormous good in this world by introducing multiple generations to the Big Bear eagles and by advocating for them and for wildlife everywhere. That's an amazing legacy. Rest in peace. #FOBBV

If Pam Bondi was a waitress:

Six #baldeagles held a morning staff meeting on an ice flow on the Hudson River off 72nd Street this morning. Eagles like to follow the ice, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen six together before. Must have been something big going on. @BirdCentralPark

Delighted that this beautifully observed drama was awarded one of Sundance's top prizes.

Goodnight to the brilliant and beloved Catherine O’Hara, whose presence brought so much joy to our screens. ❤️ Here she is giving one of her scene-stealing performances as Gail, the Mister Softee vendor, in Martin Scorsese's AFTER HOURS (1985).

It may seem like a small episode in the scheme of things, but it shows how easily and pathologically Kristi Noem lies. She completely fabricated a meeting with Kim Jong Un, which she put in her book to boast that she stared him down. She never met him, but refused to admit it:

The bird is all in.. 😅

The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province. They were terrorized by heavily armed American execution squads for decades. It would not come as a shock to any of the students I teach in prison. Militarized police in poor urban neighborhoods kick down doors without warrants and kill with the same impunity and lack of accountability. What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonized by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, Thucydides noted, it finally, with the collapse of Athenian democracy, imposed on itself. But before we became the victims of state terror, we were accomplices. Before we expressed moral outrage at the indiscriminate taking of innocent lives, we tolerated, and often celebrated, the same Gestapo tactics, as long as they were directed at those who lived in the nations we occupied or poor people of color. We sowed the wind, now we will reap the whirlwind. The machinery of terror, perfected on those we abandoned and betrayed, including the Palestinians in Gaza, is ready for us.

What "Israel has a right to defend itself" was always about.

"A French journalist said to me, "'The Turin Horse' (2011) looks like a Bible.” I said, “Yes, but without God.”" --- Béla Tarr

"I don't care about stories. I never did. Every story is the same. We have no new stories. We're just repeating the same ones.. The film isn't the story. Its mostly picture, sound, a lot of emotions. The stories are just covering something" R.I.P Béla Tarr ~ The ~Turin Horse

As the year comes to a close, TCM remembers the actors, filmmakers and creatives we lost this year. Gone, but never forgotten. Song title and artist: "In the Western Wind and the Sunrise" by Dave Simonett and the Sunrise.
