Peter O'Toole in Pygmalion
YouTube video by Andy Luk

Did you ever see Peter O’Toole playing Henry Higgins? His Higgins is a raving lunatic constantly being placated by normal people.
Genius. The whole movie.

The people who financialized (and then destroyed) the housing market in the mid 2000s did not care about building homes. Similarly this kind of sweaty shell game makes me very suspicious of the AI sales pitch.

#Nuremberg is the best film of the year. It packs an emotional punch, and a timely slap in the face, you won’t forget.
Not a second wasted, not a gesture or a syllable out of place.
Crowe and Malak deserve best actor awards. The writers and the director also deserve awards.
See it!!!

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Nuremberg is only showing for 6 days because it’s an independent film. So here we are on a cold, blustery Arizona evening waiting for the show to begin.

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.
They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.
Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.
