I already RTed this but it remains my favorite dive into Refn ... ever. Crystallized not just why I love the film, but why Refn resonates in general. Plus it's just a fun read.

Holy shit... Wired reports that back in May, the U.S. Military was testing an experimental GPS jammer and and caused a civilian plane to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board.
How is this story not all over the place?

EXCLUSIVE: The U.S. has used “virtually all” of its precision strike missiles during the war in Iran. Stockpiles on ATACMs and Precision Strike Missiles are almost depleted. And we have used about half of our Tomahawks, per new data circulating inside the admin.

ok movie idea here: "The Largest Woke Man". Alan thinks he's the largest woke man in the world but he keeps finding larger woke men. lots of jokes about being large but they don't laugh about being woke. at the end they find a tiny little woke man.
Alan Ritchson says Hollywood action space needs more everyday protagonists like Indiana Jones who was a professor not just military or ex-military heroes.
Alan Ritchson: One thing I'm trying to do is hark back to the '90s, when you would get protagonists like Indiana Jones, who was a professor and an archaeologist. This was not a government-trained CIA operative.
My production company has deals split across town, and we're working hand in hand with a lot of studios to develop the future action space. Weirdly across the board, everybody is making content where the main character is former military or current military.
I want to tell stories with protagonists who are more on their heels, less invincible, and less trained. It'll create a whole new sea of content where audiences can see themselves on screen.
We need stories where protagonists are everyday people like plumbers or electricians caught up in extraordinary circumstances, but not necessarily prepared for it.
Maria Sten: Totally agree. Excellent.

this is a good example of how population health cannot be secured individually
health cannot be a personal responsibility when the conditions for health do not exist
when you lack safe food, clean air, or clean water, individual choices cannot save you
Oh boy, this is gonna be catnip for dipshits, isn't it. Gotta get prepared for the next few months of absolute morons claiming the GA elections are corrupt and socialism is coming for us all.
Trump on his Thursday speech: "It's really big news. It's really big news. Our country has to shape up. What we're gonna be talking about Thursday -- it doesn't get bigger, because without free and fair elections you don't have a country."

"communism"
theyre counting on that being a big trigger word for every conservative. straight fear-mongering directed at those who have been conditioned to be driven by their hatred for decades. we can bank on that word coming up a LOT more in the coming weeks.
