How to get rid of Citizens United? We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way. Let me explain: robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-r…

@EckhartsLadder 100% this. So much of the late 70s LOTR art in particular, which feels inspired by the counterculture view of Tolkien’s world, is the most moving to me. And the 80s work is glorious. So much aesthetic inspiration just ignored in lieu of the Peter Jackson vision.

The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.

@ChefGuevara_ only my ass, baby

Most of you will not believe this, and I forgive you, I forgive you your lack of faith, you have been raised by liars who did not want you to know the truth, but hark ye: classic-era Jethro Tull was a fucking great band. Nearly all of STAND UP thru STORMWATCH rips

@corpseinorbit @nkulw You’re probably right but I still can’t believe many in this administration aren’t looking at opinion polls daily and experiencing explosive stress-induced diarrhea.

@rsbrown @nkulw And it's just an educated guess, but I suspect Joe Biden truly has no idea what his part in this genocide will do to him domestically. In his brain, Israel has always just won the Six Day War. It's been a non-optional "belief" in his world since he was anything at all

The current relationship with Israel is not in US “strategic” interest, the dogmatic hyper-support is a consequence of domestic politics and pro-Israel lobbying. But don’t get it twisted: Israel is an arms dealer and surveillant of the Middle East on whom the West relies big-time

@corpseinorbit @nkulw That tracks. Post WW2, it seems America has created all of its worst boogeymen/villainous enemies.

@rsbrown @nkulw This is the guy who said, during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon if I recall correctly, "Israel is the greatest investment this country has ever made in the Middle East. If Israel didn't exist, we would have to invent it."

@corpseinorbit @nkulw I’m currently operating under the hypothesis that Israel has some blackmail material over the USA. Only way I can make sense of the White House’s unconditional support even at the expense of Biden’s political position.

@nkulw nominal ally, frequently dicks us around both secretly and otherwise (which of course we're also doing), nobody is totally sure who really runs the country, no big repercussions cos they're too big a broker of materials we don't want to gather on our own

@ViewsParallax No cap, I had no idea who he was related to until I saw your tweet. Legendary character actor filmography.

It weird to me that MTV gave him a Lifetime Achievement Award as a joke. He's made a working career for decades as character actor. I suppose some of that could be chalked up to nepotism, but the sheer amount he's worked is commendable. Most don't achieve that in Hollywood.

@nkulw ???

All of your tweets on the subject make me want to put a .44 magnum inside my mouth, pull the trigger and make the back of my head go Bluey on the wall

@JohnBeifuss They screened it in Portland this winter— really well done

With no fanfare at all, Ethan Coen's once-hyped documentary and solo directorial debut JERRY LEE LEWIS: TROUBLE IN MIND has appeared on Prime Video. That and more Memphis-connected movie news (Tav Falco, Wim Wenders, Patrick Duffy, more) here: bit.ly/42IEwge

All right, today's story is too much. I'm going to edit and rerelease Ring of Hell with new content this year. Vince McMahon is and has always been, in the most open and flagrant way possible, an evil man. I got more to say. Retweet if you want to see it.

When you got movies like Tom Cruise in them, you can’t lose.

No internet, no food, no water, no electricity, no contact to the other sides of the world. THIS NEEDS TO STOP. Please USE YOUR PLATFORM. Spread about what's happening in Gaza. Please don't stay silent. #CeasefireNOW

Keith "Keefe D" Davis, who was just arrested for the murder of Tupac Shakur, has long admitted that he was the driver for his cousin who pulled trigger. Bigger story in coming days will be that he has always claimed that Sean Combs, aka Puff Daddy/Puffy/Diddy ordered the hit.

@UFO_Rabbit_Hole It's apparently known as Sycamore Knoll and has been studied as a natural structure: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Me: Stay out of the “giant UFO” discourse. Protect your energy. Reclaim your time. Also me: What if it’s underwater? 😅 #UFOTwitter
