I’m looking at doing a double feature of Al Jazeera’s The Night Won’t End: Biden’s War on Gaza, which I’m hoping will be something I can push on the maddening collection of people in my life who agree that Biden is committing genocide but think they have to vote for him anyway,
and Satyajit Ray’s The Adversary:
Siddhartha (Dhritiman Chatterjee) is forced to discontinue his medical studies due to the unexpected death of his father. He has to now find a job instead. In one job interview, he is asked to name the most significant world event in the last ten years. His reply is ‘the plain human courage shown by the people of Vietnam’, instead of the expected: man landing on the Moon. The interviewer asks if he is a communist. Needless to say, he does not get the job.

I am going to take what Terrance McKenna described as “a heroic dose” and go on a rollercoaster
Im going to BJJ and then studying kanji.
Hell yeah comrade
BJJ was rough I ran out of steam while there was more fighting to be done. The kanji is just beginning. It’s a good life.
Paint dry
Sportsball like a good 'Merican.
I bet they don’t even do the national anthem before the presidential debate

Not that I know of. Real patriots in shambles
The 1987-88 TV horror-drama series Werewolf. It’s basically just the '70s Hulk show but with a werewolf instead of The Hulk. Guy becomes a werewolf fugitive roaming the US, wanted by a bounty hunter (named Joe Rogan lol), pursues the werewolf the curse traces back to in hopes of killing it and curing himself, etc.
Fun fact, this show was a part of the FOX channel’s debut lineup when it first started airing.
Un-fun fact, this show is increasingly moving into “lost media” territory because of its general obscurity, and the fact that licensing disputes over music rights (such as using the song Silent Running in the pilot episode) prevent it from being re-published on modern media.
If you search for it on duckduckgo, it will likely give you an archive page where you can watch the whole series in considerably-worse-than-standard definition.
Frankly, it’s a series that I would love to see a reboot / remake for, because the basic premise (as well as the premises of various individual episodes) is solid, but the execution is plagued by sloppy writing and weirdly awful editing at times.

I’ve been watching Reservation Dogs, and I highly recommend it! Great show that tackles heavy matters like poverty, the way it affects people who live in it, and contemporary American Indian life/culture. It’s also got Taika Waititi’s signature brand of humor, which is nice to balance out the heavy themes and problems which characters face. The main cast is good, but I think my favorites are some of the recurring supporting characters. There’s an ancestral spirit warrior who appears as a vision for some characters played by Dallas Goldentooth, and his entire character and performance are just one of the funniest things I’ve seen this year.
A real treasure, that show is
Just finished it a few weeks ago. A Really sweet show. Teared up during the Pacific Ocean part
