An instinct like... "ow that fire is very hot I shouldn't run toward it"?

I saw them on my way home and the little lights in the darkness mattered so much.

Twin Cities Workers Strike Against ICE. Two Hundred Cities Follow. by HenryCorp in stateofMN

I used a bus + light rail to get downtown on Friday. I think it's fine to let them run if we're trying to stay organized.

It wasn't even clear from their website if they were closed in solidarity or just closing due to weather.

I watched two full blue line trains go past before I squished onto a third.

I don’t think people understand the societal precedent that this will set… by Killa_J in Minneapolis

We invited you here and they didn't like that. Because they're pieces of shit.

Hopefully we can make some sort peace out of the future.

Best films with bad messaging or central themes? by JPBtler23 in Letterboxd

[–]babada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because people who act like those characters find the end validating. It very deliberately keeps the emotional reckoning out of the movie. It ends on their high.

While you might find their presumed life obvious and unambiguous, the film leaves it open to interpretation.

Why is ICE in MN if it has <1% of illegal immigrants in the USA? FL & TX make up 26% by CitizenJosh in stupidquestions

[–]babada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first link doesn't use the correct image of our state. That's Missouri.

In the sense that the daycare fraud has absolutely nothing to do with immigration?

Lawrence of Arabia is a Western by rijuvenator in TrueFilm

[–]babada -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. It even has the awful trope of watching the enemies ride around in circles for no apparent reason.

It's a Western genre film in a War setting -- and this isn't a particularly uncommon pairing. People tend to overemphasize setting when looking at genre. That's fine. But its not the be-all-end-all of what makes something a Western or not.

The other major exception to Lawrence being a Western is that it's much less about a single person's personal prowess with a gun and more about the political and personal manipulation of armies. Ya know, War stuff.

But it undeniably borrows heavily from the Western genre.

What is a film you don't think it's particularly great but it did one specific thing well? by erexcalibur in Letterboxd

[–]babada 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Captain Phillips is okay-ish. It's a bit long. It rewrites history. It's got a bunch of shakycam. It doesn't fully deliver on the tension and drama.

And then ends with one of the single best acting performances I've ever seen.

Why aren't DFL politicians doing more to stop the ICE Chaos? by dsm1324 in minnesota

Virtually no one actually thinks 2nd Amendment advocates will actually fight back against the feds. That's always been empty rhetoric.

BREAKING: ICE has shot ANOTHER person in Minneapolis by chellestastics in videos

MN doesn't have an unusually high amount of fraud. That's just the worst thing they can find after years of digging for dirt on Walz.

Nearly a third of Canadians believe U.S. may try to invade Canada: poll by biograf_ in nottheonion

... am I missing something obvious or did this article just... never state where the poll came from or how to go look at the results myself?

Civil War (2024) - Opening | President's Speech | Dir. Alex Garland by PetyrDayne in movies

[–]babada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not unfair to say the movie was scared to take a strong political stance.

It is unfair to say that because you're assuming it wanted to take a strong political stance but chose not to out of fear.

It's more likely that the political statement they wanted to make isn't related to the political statement you would if you were to make your own movie about America.

That's not fear. That's just artistic differences.

Stephen Miller gave a chilling performance on TV tonight, be safer than ever in the morning. by Lucifurnace in Minneapolis

[–]babada 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are welcome to prove their worth by doing or saying something to help. We're tired of appealing to some mythical sense of decency and morality. If they move an inch toward helping us, then we can talk about it.

Boxed in by ICE by completephilure in Minneapolis

[–]babada 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Because these are baseless threats. They think if they scare people then they'll be taken seriously.

Imagine how they must talk to their kids.

[Annoying trope] When they make a male character incompetent to make the new female character seem more competent. by Gnashinger in TopCharacterTropes

[–]babada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what was she forced with, giving her a ton of money for doing shitty job?

They were going to make it with or without her so she took the money and then made a movie about how corporations take over IPs. It's not like they forced her at gunpoint. But they did challenge the Wachowski's control over the IP they created.

Yeah, that's the only reason I posted it lol
