    My continued search for the worst Netflix film tonight was “The Union” Absolute shite. Stopped with 30 min to go. Who cares. Acting totally wooden. Halle Berry was dreadful. JK Simmons looked like he was asleep. Gave up and instead watched the 2nd last ep of The Agency (that is top class stuff)

    Today is the day the cowards, thieves and liars called the Confederacy were defeated by the Union and surrendered. Unfortunately, like some horror film, they've risen back up and taken control again. Lincoln should have let Sherman's March to the Sea last two years. Fuck your "heritage", losers.

Even in one the most terrifyingly bleak SFF movies, Sam found a way to imagine greater equity in our future. 🕯️
