Finished. Some of the best direction I've ever seen in a film. And a surprising amount of moral ambiguity. Maybe the least Tom Hanks I've ever seen Tom be. Very good film.
Think I'm going to see Saving Private Ryan at the theater tonight.

The only lesson Democrats learn from anything is "we should retreat".

After last week's electoral victories, some Democrats will only talk about expanding clean energy through lens of affordability. Others believe talking about climate change will win voters. www.eenews.net/articles/ret...
Retreat or recast? Democrats debate future of climate politics.
Democratic election wins last week reignited arguments on how — or if — candidates should discuss climate change on the campaign trail.

This is ridiculous for any number of reasons but pre Musk I used to get more likes than this weekly on posts I forgot I even made, with less than 3k followers.
Twitter created an official account that features posts that got lots of high quality engagement, and this guy is going absolutely Nasim Aghdam mode over his post not being included. They sent him something like $10k over it originally

Nothing encapsulates Trump's whole thing more than saying "I AM NOT HAPPY WITH YOU" to federal employees.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Feels lame when a song doesn’t require pouring my heart out or processing something in my subconscious, but I also need to write more of these songs. It’s cathartic in a “whew I won’t be hit with a wave of deep emotions every time I sing it” way.

the real move if you want to be the presidential nominee in 2028 is to come out and say who did the vote swapping, air the dirty laundry, and say “our voters deserve better” imo. position yourself as the champion of the dem base against the crooked leadership they hate
