There is a reason why Marx spent more time focusing on the social physiognomy of the Bonaparte coalition rather than taking his mediocre intellectual production seriously

And then there are basic vocabulary flubs too, like using cárcel in official signage to refer to prisons when Mexicans typically say penitenciaría. It’s not just inauthentic; it’s careless filmmaking. 😭

I understand why Latinos are mad. Like why tf is a Klan rehabilitation musical set in the Deep South but shot in Paris? And why is its non-American cast speaking in British and Aussie accents lol? And the few Black actors are largely relegated to extras.

I mean you are an industry that relies so heavily on Hispanics, and you don't know how they view cartels? These aren’t code-bound Hollywood thugs like Tony (“no fuckin’ kids!”) Montana. Cartels show no mercy as they kidnap, torture, and dismember, including children.

Emilia Perez is precise sort of preening cinematic onanism that Hollywood types like to think of as visionary. It's easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life.

Just think of all the fascinating explainers that those of us who didn't go to law school have now read about arcane legal and constitutional matters, and consider how much more you know now about how our system is designed than you did in 2019.

After the UK court judgment that I'd been quoting since 2023 finally got the attention of the media, The News is now clutching at straws to save their narrative in the Al-Qadir Trust case. Now, Malik Riaz being allowed to travel during the time the NCA was probing his family's

I know Bhuttos love to dispense a lot of odd facts about their predecessors. It's not just that they hide behind warped versions of our history to justify them running Sindh like an opaque family business, it’s that we don’t know where they get this stuff from.

Zarrar’s puckish sense of humor combined with piercing argument helps produce dramatic changes in the way foundations approach grantmaking. It’s sad now to see him exhibiting the intellectual intransigence he once challenged.
