When this is happening to even the beautiful white women, you know shit’s a thousand times worse for BIPOC… I know that we had issues with immigration during previous administrations, but they were nothing compared to this vile treatment.

which hot sauce?

CopLand (1997) - An iconic cast doing what they do best. Stallone as Sheriff Freddy was fantastic.

The Drop (2014) - The late, great James Gandolfini supporting Tom Hardy in a well thought out gangster drama.

Oblivion (2013) - Tom Cruise plays a drone technician in a post-alien-invasion Earth. Olga Kurylenko is the most beautiful woman. Entertaining.

The Ghost and Mrs Muir (1947) - A feel-good ghost story about dying alone (somehow).

Prisoners (2013) - Hugh Jackman and Terrance Howard have a real rough week, with Jake Gyllenhaal giving a masterclass as the blinking detective.

Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) - Nicholas Cage gets his balls blown off because he thought about having sex with a woman whose chin could beat Jay Leno’s in thumb wrestling. Movie was and hour and a half too long (runtime 1.43)

Sometimes the Simpsons parodied things so well, that it’s only later on in life that I realize iconic and hilarious Simpson moments were actually parodies.

The Cape Fear episode. The Citizen Kane episode. The Thelma and Louise episode. The Planet of the Apes musical.

fuckin’ classics

Everyone experiencing pain, has to find their own reason to push through it, or they will succumb to it. Whether it’s emotional or physical, most of the time the best way out is through. If you’re in dense brush, with thorns all around, you can stop, and hope that by remaining perfectly still you’ll avoid being poked, or you can clench your teeth, move as much as you can out of the way and push past the rest. Sometimes it’s remaining still that becomes more unbearable.

Whenever I fall out of running, and try to pick it back up, my inner mantra remains the same. It doesn’t matter how many times you stop, as long as you start back up again.

Beauty and the Beast

But also I recently saw the comedy Bottoms, and thought Charlie XCX did a great job with that soundtrack

It’s amazing. I recommend sitting outside the central train station in Amsterdam and people watching, as thousands of tourists attempt to bicycle or walk somewhere, and they’re just in everybody’s way. It’s hilarious. If you’re going to cycle (which, yes, you should) stay to the right and signal where you want to go. There are bike lanes there for you to take, don’t just be off in the middle of the street. Also, they want you to pay for an extra ticket to bring your bike on the train with you, I found that this can be ignored if you’re not a jerk about it.

The fuckin moon, and it’s not even close. Get me off this rock

36 CEO’s, you say?

That’s not even enough to clog a woodchipper 🤔

My kind of gal

CBP agents at the border accused Brösche of planning to violate the terms of the visa waiver program by intending to work as a tattoo artist during her trip to LA

Oh wow, a visiting artist might come do some art, fucking arrest her!

Jesus fucking christ the sociopathic cowards running these ABC agencies are dumber than shit

I am so fucking sick of this pathetic piss baby bullshit. This fucking traitor and his cock holster have no right to disparage Zelenskyy, whilst polishing putins knob and trying to blackmail extort an ally into giving away their countries natural fucking resources. The level of treacherous, inane bullshit being spouted by these stupid fascist fucking fucks comes across like it’s from some poorly written trash novel trying to really spell it out for the reader how absurdly terrible these people are.

I tell ya, I’m this close to volunteering for the fight in Ukraine myself, just so I have a chance to literally fight fascism, because the idea of sitting on my hands any longer is becoming detrimental to my health.

Something along the lines of me no longer being able to afford to live alone while saving money, use of the military against U.S. citizens, or if they try to sell our national parks. Those are a few that would demand real retaliation, not just in the form of protest. Another would be the orange rapist going for a third term.

Right now I’m just comfortable enough, and with hopeful plans for the future, that I wouldn’t want to do anything revolutionary… but if shit starts to turn, I have no qualms with tossing my comfort and future plans aside and going rogue. I’ll live in a ditch and eat out of the trash before I let these fascist thugs steal my country.

The site doesn’t even allow you to “like” posts. “It seemed to us to be a kind of high school popularity contest, a way of creating a dependency on the platform,” said the founder, holding a mug of tea.

On Facebook, Instagram or X, likes are also used to help algorithms identify users. Here, there’s no need: There’s no algorithm. “On Front Porch Forum, content isn’t infinite, so we don’t have to choose what we show,” said Wood-Lewis. Doomscrolling – mindlessly consuming a flood of negative news – is impossible here: Browsing through the posts takes just 10 minutes.

“Sometimes nothing much happens, just like in real life.”

Sounds lovely!

Take a multi-day trip beforehand. You should at least experience an abbreviated version of living together before you actually do.

Ames worked for the Ohio Department of Youth Services, which oversees parts of the state’s juvenile corrections system. After a decade there, in 2014 she became the administrator of a program addressing prison rape. Five years later, she applied for a promotion.

Her supervisors turned her down, saying she lacked vision and leadership skills, eventually giving the position to a gay woman who had been at the department for a shorter time and, unlike Ames, lacked a college degree.

Not long after denying her the new position, her supervisors removed her from her existing job, telling her that they had concerns about her leadership and offering her a demotion that came with a substantial pay cut. She was replaced by a gay man with less seniority.

Sounds like she was a do-nothing karen that nobody liked, which makes the actions of her employer entirely reasonable. Everybody who has ever worked has had the displeasure of meeting one of these people that fails upward, and has an ego the size of Rhode Island.

Remember kids, all you have to do is not be a dick.

Sigor Ros. Saw them live and, despite their melancholy music, put on a helluva show. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed them live!

Al Franken was a great politician, one of the last ones to feel actual shame and remorse. Resigned because of a dumb joke whilst in the company of marines, should’ve stayed, but I bet he’s happier being out of it 😥

My parents have conservative talk radio and/or fox news on basically 24/7 in their house and car, so there was really nowhere I could escape their politics. I figured out that all their talk was BS, but could never convince my parents of anything. I could take a quote from their favorite host, and pair it alongside facts stating the opposite was true from an organization that they, themselves, were members of, and they still would dismiss me.

In reality, it’s not the politics that got between us, it’s that they’re shitty people.
