Any list that includes Field Of Dreams is immediately disqualified as a "baseball movie." A "baseball movie" at least would have Joe Jackson batting from the correct side of the plate, as DB Sweeney did in Eight Men Out.

Elon Musk has decided the cheapest way to get what he wants is to simply buy a Senator.
And there's no one more corrupt — or more willing to be bought — than Ken Paxton.

Images you won't see in the media.
Judging a protest by its most violent protestors but not judging a police by its most violent cops is the language of the oppressr.
Stand with the French people 🇫🇷

If one billionaire can slow down the internet for an entire country, shut down Starlink during crises, turn off your car and your wifi, and censoring voices online, that billionaire has way too much power, with no capability of accountability. The definition of power, unchecked.

Professor Marandi didn’t mince words when he laid out the reality of who holds power in Israel:
"You're from eastern Europe. You're European. All of you are Ashkenazi Jews who are running the country, they're from eastern Europe."
He was right. The people who built the modern state, staffed its early institutions, and still dominate its political, military, and cultural elites are overwhelmingly Ashkenazi Jews whose families came from Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Czechoslovakia, and the rest of Eastern Europe. They are European. They are not indigenous to Palestine. They arrived, displaced the native Palestinian population, and established a state that continues to be run by the same Eastern European networks.
Marandi simply said out loud what the historical record shows. The early Zionist leadership, the founders of the state, and the continuing power structure all trace back to Eastern Europe. Pretending otherwise is a deliberate rewrite of history.

Cases in Arkansas and California show how desperately we need a federal law against lawsuits intended to chill free speech.

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.” — George Orwell, 1984
Defense contractors & their powerful lobby will never be satisfied with simply aiding the U.S. in building a strong military that is prepared for war.
The nature of the industry’s existence is not patriotism, but endless conflict. War is their business model—a perpetual state of war ensures a perpetual demand for their products.
Until we address this issue, we will continue to be subjected to forever wars that only serve the defense contractors—and the warmongering interests wealthy enough to rent the defense contractors.
Stop spilling American blood for profit.

I could not put this book down; I consumed it in two sittings. @mahmoudkhalel’s writing is gripping and direct. It shines with truth and wisdom even as it describes incredible hypocrisy and darkness. Read it.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Spain protest in support of Palestine.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video does not come from Spain. It was recorded in Istanbul in Turkey, which can be seen because of all the Turkish flags and it was recorded in October 2023.x.com/Timesofgaza/st…

Don Lemon: “You said you believe [Elon Musk] is racist”
Ashley St. Clair: “Yeah. I don’t know how else you’re supposed to interpret when someone is going on Twitter all day and tweeting wow look at all the brown people responsible for crime, can you believe white people commit such a small percentage of crime? I don’t know how else you’re supposed to interpret that other than racism which is finding one race superior to another”
Alex Gibney: “We show Elon’s tweets. People can judge for themselves when they see the film. They’re outrageously racist”

Alex Gibney: “A lot of these deaths related to Full Self Driving or Autopilot, 67 so far. If that had happened at GM over a brake malfunction, it would be massive congressional hearings. A lot of those things were settled so the actual facts of the matter wouldn’t come to light. In the film, we have the case of one which is a pedestrian who was killed by a runaway Tesla with malfunctioning Autopilot. They took that to trial and won a rather massive judgement and the evidence is overwhelming not only how bad the system was, but also how hard Tesla tried to hide the evidence of malfeasance. In a lot of cases, Autopilot has a function where milliseconds before the car slams into a wall, Autopilot will turn off, and so Tesla can say with a straight face Autopilot was not engaged at the time of the crash”

Just been to see NAZA.
For those of you who are of the opinion that ‘it’s complicated’ you’ll find out that it isn’t. It’s Genocide. The intent is blatant.
Go see it.

Alex Gibney: “There was an estimate that what [Elon Musk] did by suddenly cutting USAID would cost through disease and starvation as many as 14M lives. Even if you discount that, we know within a year of those cuts where they were literally burning food going to starving children, 500K children died. This is really a crime against humanity, but he makes a joke about it, I put USAID into the woodchipper. What he put into the woodchipper were children”
