Curious that Eyes Wide Shut didn’t make the list.
But there’s already two Kubricks on there.
Speaking of which, what’s A Clockwork Orange, chopped liver?

And the Geneva Convention is an inconvenience to be instantly discarded… I mean… it’s war, amirite? No time for the Geneva Convention!

What a medieval waterless toilet.

They were both in love with dying
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Lincoln was a moderate too afraid to give any promise of rights or eventual freedom to slaves because he wanted to avoid any and all conflict

To be fair in the context of the era, he had his fill of catastrophic conflict during his tenure, and the Thirteen Amendment was passed by the skin of Congress’s teeth. The huge leap was his, the following strides were for somebody else to take.

Mexico as well, our new president-elect is a physicist, a climate scientist no less, did her PhD training at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory… the very same one we saw the early days of in “Oppenheimer”.

Sheinbaum is also a progressive, on paper seems spectacularly qualified for her six-year term as president.
Mexico - particularly the young and working classes - voted in a landslide for her, and gave her a congressional majority on both chambers, to boot.

Mexico voted very wisely this year.
