Love it? Hate it? Want to talk about it? Reminder for those subscribed to our synchronous discussion groups - join us for tonight's chat about the movie Wicked at 4pm pacific/7pm eastern. Unlimited attendance for this one but we will stop admitting people after the first 10 minutes. We will chat for 90 min to two hours, depending on interest!
And come with your suggestions and recommendations for future media discussions, too, which we can share at the end of the chat.
I look forward to seeing y'all there :)
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com
Our very own @YayRain (after having imbibed some golden nectar), shares with us yet one more problem with CRT....
This is part of a series by Compact magazine's Ashley Frawley and Geoff Shullenberger. I found this episode thought provoking and somewhat dread inducing (anything that touches on where we might be headed with AI or some of the anti-human thinking out there makes me squirm a bit). https://pca.st/episode/09631075-edae-483e-ba75-7dc2af5ab0ea
This newly released film, which seems to be a Western and satire re the pandemic, has been getting polarized responses/reviews. From this interview with Moynihan, it sounds like the director was trying to depict how we are living in different worlds due to the Internet and wanted to treat the different perspectives charitably. (Turns out he actually was into masking himself.)
Mark Halperin from 2WAY commissioned this. Interesting questions. Not looking good for those of us who aren't Mamdani fans. https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66d898881210c41df9d69622/687fddca50d216e11b69c97e_NYC%20Mayor%20Survey%20Results%2C%20July%202025%20full%20Final.pdf
