  • Trump calls Jan 6 a “day of love.” This bodycam footage shows otherwise.

    NPR interview segment with January 6th police officers: https://youtu.be/CvL4sXhGrYs

    On Jan. 6, 2021, 140 police officers were injured defending the U.S. Capitol from a violent mob of Trump supporters. Five years later, many still live with the physical and psychological damage from that day.

    NPR Investigations correspondent Tom Dreisbach sat down with two officers who defended the Capitol — Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges — to watch their police body camera footage from Jan. 6. Both were subjected to some of the most brutal violence of the day, inside a tunnel where police were outnumbered by rioters armed with flagpoles, stun guns, crutches, stolen police shields and chemical sprays.

    Fanone, Hodges and other officers say that Trump’s mass pardon of Jan. 6 rioters has exacerbated the trauma of that day. Both Fanone and Hodges have received death threats, and been called “crisis actors.” But the footage from their body-cams shows the reality of what they experienced.

    Both videos come from NPR’s Jan. 6 archive, part of a long-term effort to preserve the historical record — a public database tracking every arrest, charge, verdict, and sentence related to the attack. In Dec. 2025, the archive expanded to include police bodycam, surveillance video and other courtroom evidence, making this material available for anyone to examine firsthand.













  • So I just watched Bugonia.

    I knew it was a risk. Poor Things was weird as hell and there is a lot that I liked about it. With Emma Stone again and Jesse Plemons? Alright, let’s give it a go. Of course it would be strange. Same director.

    And… the risk didn’t pan out. That’s 118 minutes of my one single life on earth that I can never recover.

    I’m not sure how to reframe this film in a way that highlights how creative or ingenious it is. I mean, Emma shaved her head for this film! It had to be worth that much.

    Please help? I’d like to redeem it. But… I suppose some movies are just… bad.

    I’d be curious to hear thoughts about what made this film great.
