Eightball & MJG's Listen to the Lyrics EP (from 1991) may be a glorified demo recorded when they were just teens, but at least one of the songs is an all-timer

hardly the most offensive statement made today in this country, but for some reason his inability to understand how film lovers operate is irking the shit out of me

Looking forward to the jack daniels boycott
New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.

Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

ICE has unchecked power and abuses that power to harass, harm, and kill people. If a politician is unwilling to vote to abolish ICE, they are accepting and enabling these harms and can no longer be considered a viable candidate. Abolishing ICE is not a radical position. It is a necessary one.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Renee Nicole Good was not the first person to be murdered by ICE under Trump.

Keith Porter was a Black man killed by ICE on New Years Eve.

Silverio Gonzalez was an undocumented immigrant killed in Franklin Park.

Marimar Martinez was shot 5 times in Chicago & survived.

No one is safe.

So this means that everyone actually paying for their blue check should be added to a watch list, right?

I’m sort of kidding, but really, folks, stop giving Elon your money for any reason, he isn’t here to help anyone but himself and it’s embarrassing that you haven’t figured that out yet
The move comes after United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer became possibly the highest-profile person to condemn the deepfakes.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.
