Final Destination Bloodlines is more than a movie. In a single scene starring a legendary thespian, it offers enough profound philosophy to form the basis of its own religion. That previous sentence might seem like a joke. The Final Destination series is widely regarded as escapist schlock, not high art. But the premise of the franchise lends itself to theological interpretation (Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic Roger Ebert acknowledged as much about the first movie).

Capitalism breeds cowardice. Exhibit A: The fact that the last climate change-themed blockbuster released by a Hollywood studio was “The Day After Tomorrow” in 2004. Please don’t misinterpret this as a knock on “The Day After Tomorrow”’s quality. Quite to the contrary, “The Day After Tomorrow” might just be my favorite movie of all time.

There are two types of “Andor” fans: Those who watch it and see a prequel to the 2016 movie “Rogue One” (in other words, traditional “Star Wars” fans), and those who watch it and see an allegory for the Bolshevik Revolution. You can place me in the latter category, right next tomuch of theRedditcommunity.

“For the very last time, bitch, Trump's not gonna touch Social Security!”I often think about this particular death threat. Sure, it was also notable for its shameless homophobic and misogynistic slurs, generic GOP talking points and repeated wishes to commit violence (a choice sample: “I'd dearly love to cut you a 2nd anus… this time in your face, where i'll [sic] do better cosmetic & scientific duty”).

For the last five years of my eight-and-a-half years as a Salon Magazine staff writer, I focused on covering climate change for the science vertical. I repeatedly covered the basic scientific facts behind global warming — namely, that human beings are causing it far more thannatural activity. This is because we keep dumping greenhouse gases (any molecule with more than two atoms in it) into the atmosphere.

Mayor Ras Baraka is the real-life embodiment of Bulworth, a fictional character created by his father, Amiri Baraka. As I wrote for "Back Seat Socialism," he proves "you got to be a spirit! You can't be no ghost.” https://t.co/ErNvOMlBTk @rasjbaraka @democracyatwrk @profwolff
Trump isn't silencing anti-Zionist protesters to protect Jews. If he wanted to protect Jews, he'd cancel Holocaust deniers, not pander to them. Trump is persecuting anti-Zionists because he's a colonialist. https://t.co/pGypiOfrrW @democracyatwrk @trish_regan @AP4Liberty
I'm a democratic socialist. That's why I oppose Trump's tariffs. They force low-income Americans to pay more than their fair share. Even worse, they make war more likely. I wrote about this for @democracyatwrk. https://t.co/jlMm8SkXUu
