I wrote about Karthik Subbaraj's DOROTHY, its proximity to the Madurai gangster genre, the queerphobic online backlash and that much discussed ending. Link in reply.

Loved loved Ben Lerner's Transcription. And like Parul Sehgal I too "struggled to describe the shape of this book just now". Unlike me, she persevered and came up with this beautiful, brilliant review that in itself an ode to the idea of the novel archive.is/20260406095020/ht…
Hoyeon is so good in Hope. A great physical yet balletic and nimble performance. And that intro is what our Tamil heroes dream of.

I write on Sharjeel Imam as a committed democrat who deserves a place in a radical democratic project of the future, one focused on the liberty and equality of all.

The incredible anti-war treatise The Americanization of Emily (written, unfortunately, by a Zionist)

I wonder if there'll be an end to Tamil filmmakers' fascination with Tarantino. Do they ever move on?

What a deliciously corny addictive show. They really hit upon the perfect recipe. Nothing about this screams realist, its world is not even populated. Just compelling palace intrigue with great characters.

At 10:30 pm last night, reports that @odisha_police detained Dr Randall Sequeira, doctor to Adivasi communities, and Laxman Naik, leader of affected villages opposing @Vedanta_Group’s mining in Niyamgiri and Sijimali. Their whereabouts are still unknown, no access to a lawyer.
NEW | Vedanta seems to be attempting to revive its stalled Niyamgiri bauxite mining project despite the Gram Sabhas’ rejection of mining in 2013, raising concerns that the Odisha government may be using the criminal justice system to weaken tribal resistance and clear the way for corporate interests. @Ayaskant_Das reports.

Extreme weird feeling to be in this Loki vs Nelson sandai. Epdi irundha naa etc. But Nelson, as good as he is, is going to just settle for Jailer 3? I really hope he branches out from here. @ChiniZyaada
Full confidence in Nelson and Anibro ("epdi irundha naa" moment). Enjoy everyone, will catch it next week
