that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. it’s the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

this article deserves a full retraction. nothing less. if they do not do this, i will no longer link to WSJ reporting from this account, or in my future stories.

just saying, little chance that shooter is trans if he’s that close with his father

Digger 2026
5 stars
DIGGER
Watched Oct 2, 2026
digger is a performance piece where hollywood lights $100M on fire in front of an audience and says "look, see, just like global warming." and in that way, it is the greatest climate fiction ever made

'Digger' review
The first 20 minutes of the film set up a brilliant comedy that skewers our modern lives today. And then it spends about 2 hours making us feel awful for thinking the first 20 minutes were good, on purpose, over and over again. It is a joyless, colorless film that poorly parodies Citizen Kane and Dr.
Strangelove intentionally, making a mockery of essentially all modern American liberal political commentary and comedy. And a parody of a parody is interesting but uncomfortable and challenging to watch.
A parody of Donald Trump today is neither funny nor poignant and the movie knows that. By the film's conclusion, you're left wondering whether spending big budgets to make climate films at all makes any sense. It
would be reductive as well to say the film inspires you to take on the actual
catastrophe outside, because its so confident in its future of doom that really, you're only left with a wordless unease about the idea of apocalypse fiction itself. To watch "Digger" is to experience a deeply miserable punk rock waste of more than one hundred million dollars, à la Freddy Got Fingered - but you will not laugh, unless you're laughing at yourself for being in the theater at all.
I enjoyed Digger, and then I hated Digger, and then I enjoyed hate-watching Digger, and then I felt weird because the movie flat out told me to feel disgusting for enjoying hate-watching Digger, and to like hating myself, and I didn't want to listen to that part, and that's the point. Andy Kaufman couldn't have done it better. The Wolf of Wall Street tried to pull this trick and failed. Vice and Don't Look Up both tried to pull this trick and failed. So many other meta-media films have tried to do this recently and they're boring because they are entertaining. Digger is so boring, and frustrating, and uncomfortable, and that's why it works, and I hate that, too, which I also love.
Digger will be a massive commercial flop and then go to streaming where it'll be remembered as a cult classic forever. I will watch this movie again and again, and I will find new things to hate to love and love to hate. I couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone who wants to see a piece of ridiculous high-budget avant garde mistakenly promoted as a mass appeal "dark comedy" because it stars Tom Cruise. And yet even the inaccurate PR is part of the point of Digger, to reel you in with precisely the bait it wants to chide you for taking.
