New film poster for Hurry Up Tomorrow with Jenna Ortega. Out 16 May in the cinema.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have been on a Fight Oligarchy tour.
I think history is going to remember AOC's 'We are not powerless' speech. This is some watch:

Back home, Sanders made this 'Bad News / Good News' address:

"But surely they'll realise they're crashing the economy?"
"We have to raise awareness that these actions will burn the planet!"
"They'll stop once they see the impact on human lives, especially their own people."
We have to remember that the destruction is the point. They do want to reset everything, believing they are best placed to be the only survivors of the human race and the ones to start a new era. That's also why they amass so much more wealth than they need now.

Just back from watching Jenna Ortega in Death of a Unicorn. I really liked it! There's also something about the combination of her acting with detailed realism and the story being like 'well, unicorns', and that is a combination that I weirdly really liked. I guess it adds to the multiple things her character is trapped in.
My review of Death of a Unicorn on Letterboxd boxd.it/9jRbqN
Jenna Ortega's film Death of a Unicorn is out tomorrow in The Netherlands.
Hurry Up Tomorrow...
...will be released in the US next month.

@Gidi Kroon I hear you... News headlines of late are like political satire, only 100% true and terrifying.
It's really quite depressing.
12 April, the second series of the re-re-boot-boot of Doctor Who on the BBC. Here's the second trailer:

Interview with a UK photographer and filmmaker, Edward Matthews, who went to Ukraine to help charities document their war effort. It also contains part of a documentary he made which is a very touching interview with a Ukrainian fire fighter.

There's so much going on that I can't post disapproving posts for every single thing. So here's just one blanket one.
It's all wrong. You know, everything. All of it. Not just in the US, but it's happening, or starting to, everywhere. The rule of law is abandoned and people are shipped off to uncontrolled foreign prisons. People's right to be who they are is removed. Institutions to help and better other people are disbanded.
We need to get back to caring about other people. Care about the next generation's ability to get educated. No matter the skin colour, no matter the social class, care about whether people can buy food. Care about people getting a fair trial. Care about people whether they are your gender or not, or have the gender you think they have, or even have a gender.
Care about other people, no matter what kind of 'other' they are.
This is an interesting concept. That maybe when you as a content creator, or any other creative person, feel like you're stuck in a rut and don't know what too create next, maybe you're too stuck in your own head. Maybe you need to allow yourself to be inspired by others. Read a book. Listen to music.

Another thing I'm thinking when watching her channel: why is she so worried about viewing numbers? She doesn't need viewing numbers to be an interesting channel, she already is. Ok, so only 816 people watched her previous video. I'm one of them. And I liked it. And even if nobody watches them, who cares, they're still interesting and worthy videos.
Sometimes I post photos on Instagram. I like taking them. The new analytics on Instagram show that these reach between 2 and 5 accounts. So I've long given up doing that for the numbers. I just like taking them and knowing they're out there or somewhere.
For those in the Netherlands who follow F1 but don't want to pay a lot of money to Viaplay or F1 TV, and therefore can't see it live: due to a deal signed only yesterday it will be on delayed broadcast, for free, on Ziggo channel 13 (so not the normal channel 14). This means that today's qualifying session is repeated at 20:30 tonight and tomorrow's race at 21:15, tomorrow of course. This may not be in your tv guides yet.
The usual summary broadcasts on Ziggo Sport and NPO 1 have been cancelled for this year.
Here's the "origin story" of Roxy Furman. She's a zoologist who makes the most gorgeous wildlife documentaries.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •Waiting for someone to come back at me and mention that she doesn't actually say that slogan in this speech... Made you watch... But isn't misquoting historical speeches sort of the norm? The slogan is very much the theme of the speech however, it is in the caption, and she does say it in another version of this speech. Also, sorry, I misremembered.
What she does say however:
That we have to get rid of Big Money out of politics.
That we need a Democratic party that actually fights for people, that congress people who don't should be booted out, but that this means that voters should vote at every opportunity for those Democrats that will stand up for people.
That believing that a minimal wage should cover the cost to live, and that illness shouldn't cause bankruptcy, is common sense, not something out of a communist manifesto.
That she welcomes everybody who will fight for someone they don't know.
That the fabric of community is what can defeat fascism.
(Yeah, we're literally calling it that now)
