quickdarshan is also my Bluesky account. I’ve been there more than here lately and hopefully more of the sports writers I follow will eventually migrate as well.

They made up lies about ordinary people who've done nothing wrong (Haitian immigrants, a black woman and her mother working the polls). They got people to fear and hate them to the point they received bomb and death threats. And they paid no price politically.

What I said below plus Covid were the main factors imo. Every post-Covid administration globally has lost. Even Modi lost ground in India. Post-Covid Economy (which was especially tough financially for some) + Fear of demographic changes.

ARMCHAIR ANALYSIS: Since 2014 and going forward, the biggest guiding force in politics is the US trending to become a majority minority country in the early 2040s. Whites are not used to being generalized as a group the way the rest of us are.

@SPBPHD Imagine choosing to be his social media stenographer while inhaling his stale Hai Karate aftershave.

@MrGlinis The Center for Japanese Studies does a film series every Winter. My friend Yuki (I think you met) did a series of horror films last year. Lot of great stuff I hadn't heard of before (Door, Kasane, Jigoku).

When people talk about "the media" I assume they mean cable news, NYTimes and the Washington Post. With cable subscribers dwindling and mass unsubscribing of the Washington Post, we're at a tipping point. The right left those long ago. And now they're losing the rest.

New Blocking Breakdown from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. This one is nothing flashy in terms of camera movement. One dolly back and some pans and tilts to follow the movement. But the actor blocking is really exceptional. The actors move naturally through the frame into shifting compositions which mark shifting dynamics and allegiances between the three... and later four characters. It feels chaotic and domestic, but it's shockingly elegant. (I run through it a second time with longer pauses on each composition. I know there are a lot of annotations to take in. GLOSSARY of Abbreviations/Terms used: ECU - Extreme Close Up CU - Close Up MCU - Medium Close Up M (or MS) Medium Shot MLS - Medium Long Shot LS - Long Shot ELS - Extreme Long Shot FAVORING: (Who's face is favored by camera) BLOCKING: Where/when the actor positions themself relative to camera/ dramatic beats CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND - 1977 Dir - Steven Spielberg DoP - Vilmos Zsigmond Promise I'll do some other directors' films too. Spielberg is just too fun. #FilmTwitter #spielberg #directing
