Rare W for the UK release schedule. Checked out Never After Dark and apparently it came out shortly after the birth of Christ.

Counter-take: The logic of international solidarity - that what happens in Brazil (from Amazon protection to viral pandemics) matters for what happens in the United States - has never in history been more plainly important.

people who are too young to remember a world before letterboxd really don't understand. it's been the most significant positive force for cinephilia of the century. for all its faults, it has completely changed film culture for the better

WHAT?! It hasn't turned into a sun dappled paradise with completely new architecture and unseasonal flowers within one day in November? Resign Sadiq Khan!
The pedestrianisation of Oxford Street.
What we thought it would look like and what it actually looks like 🙁

“The CIA must intervene immediately to restore democracy”
The Supreme Court of Brazil is stealing this election for Lula. The @CIA must intervene immediately to restore democracy to the hemisphere.

This is Labour Politician Lord Tom Watson being paid to be a salesman for Palantir, a highly controversial tech company that has Government contracts.
This is a sign of a democracy in decline.

“Journalist” believes you should uncritically accept something before actually reading it — naturally.

It's fucking crazy that an investigation exposing how Jared Kushner laundered billions if dollars through Azerbaijan, including payments to a warlord, a mercenary, and a hitman, isn't getting more attention.

The naysayers are getting embarrassing. Every day, people are using AI to make incredible breakthroughs and answer some of the toughest questions around, like "what do I like about my child?"

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

This is the strategy everywhere from now on. Try your hardest to suppress the vote, propagandize, or otherwise disenfranchise the opposition. If you lose, call the results into question, wage lawfare, and coup monger your way back into power by any means necessary if you can.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

My phone blinking like a Xmas tree with messages from around the world. Thank you friends ♥️🇧🇷. Brazil has just told bolsonarismo, today’s grotesque voter suppression, election meddling from US big techs, Brazilian legacy media and Trumpism a huge FUCK OFF. What we have accomplished is historic. Lula, 80 years old, elected 4 times democratically, by the people. What a giant.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Don’t become numb to this. It’s disgusting and dangerous racism and if Rogers wins next month it’ll only escalate.
Sick, sick stuff.
