This is what I mean in my bio when I say I'm a "Neighbor of Fred."
The ACLU is doing what it can here in the States, and continues to set an an example for other countries. Liberty has been around in the UK for 90 years, advocating for human rights, too. The helpers are out there, even when it seems like they're not.

3 keepers and 1 turd.
I also watched the first Silent Hill (2006) right before TCSM last Friday and thought it was middling but enjoyable enough, but boy, that sequel was the pits.

Flappers? In this economy?

It's another Depression. Where are the flagpole sitters, dance marathons, and athletic/curvaceous kick lines?
it’s the 20s where are all the flappers

Purity politics are so boring. People need to chill and find joy from something other than being jerks.

If you're picking on people for watching something that brings them joy, you're contributing to a different kind of shit.
If you’re watching Star Trek on Paramount/CBS you’re contributing to the shit.

Timeline cleanse. Teenage crush?

In this case, two of them.

“A judicial finger on the constitutional dike,” is quite the sign-off.
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Make Texas Great For Once!
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Thanks, #StarfleetAcademy. Episode 4 was much better than the disappointing third episode.
Jay-Den is a remarkable / fascinating character.
More character development like this for all characters, please. And give Caleb Mir something more to do than be an arrogant Space Will Hunting.

4 rewatches, all entertaining and exhilarating. Also rewatched A Bug's Life (1998) last weekend.
The Ronin rewatch was the most satisfying. It had been a very long time. I miss movies like that.

I wasn't around when it was new, but their Super Hits compilation was in heavy rotation on my Fisher Price turntable.
