I think in any horror film, the writers should know everything about the killers motivation and back story, even if they never tell the audience, ever.
Osgood Perkins answer to "The Monkey's" backstory works perfectly, though I hope other writers don't steal and use it as a cheat.

If Disney made a ride going through a warehouse of past props and set pieces with just some basic lighting I'd ride it whenever possible. Do you hear that, Iger?

Shelters are closing this week and I don’t know what the plan is for people who are still displaced from the fires. I’m afraid this will fall out of the news cycle long before the need for help is gone.

The bulk of available help is so incredibly temporary (or delayed)

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

So depressing.
Not the main thing, but an Irish friend pointed out: NASA in particular is seen as representing a lot more than just the US—you see people of many nationalities walking around with a shirt with a GIANT LOGO OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE BRANCH OF A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT!!!

All. The. Time.

Just blow that up. 👍
Here's an e-mail that just went out to NASA agency wide. 🔭

Trump attorneys’ call into question U.S. citizenship for Native people. They state because Indians “owe ‘immediate allegiance’ to their tribes, they are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are not constitutionally entitled to Citizenship.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

Nobody who needs to read this and grasp reality seems to be on Blue Sky, but for those who want to further educate themselves this is definitely worth a read and, unfortunately, affirm that your worst fears aren't unfounded.

“Elon, I served in the military for 22 years — and my loyalty is to the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign & domestic. That’s why I reported Trump.

I’m not intimidated by you.”

I think the wrong questions r being asked about the proposed tariffs. The real question Is how little will he accept from Mexico , Canada and China in order to be able to say the threat of tariffs worked ?

Politics is where some of the people are some of the time. Culture is where all of us are all of the time. Its the lens through we see and make sense of the world around us.

Get out of your political bubble and start talking to people as whole humans.
