Watched To Live and Die in L.A. This is the movie:
An a-hole cop’s partner is killed by an overly sensitive painter allowing him to go on a depraved crime spree.
There’s a reason I’m not nostalgic for the 80’s and the zeitgeist this film captures (or feeds. I can’t tell.) is one of them.

There are towns in Germany and Poland which will never escape their association with the concentration camp the Nazi's built nearby. Town council members in the US need to think about that when they're asked to approve an ICE detention center in their town.

Of the onstage females, Soleil (115 markings) and Cider could be released in as soon as a few months (as they’re between 800-1000 lbs currently), but little 500 pound Tani will need another year here
