What's saddest about the criminally underappreciated film _The Rules of Attraction_ is that James Van Der Beek didn't get a hundred offers for roles like that (much less an Oscar). To call Sean an anti-hero is an understatement; his completely misdirected fury is a masterpiece of acting by JVDB.

If we survive this period, I'm pretty sure five hundred years or more from now historians will collectively describe conflicts in the period from 1914, to sometime I hope in the near future, as the "Oil Wars". Or maybe "Petroleum Wars" depending on who the historians are.

The right wing's obsession with Columbus is incredibly dumb, since he had literally nothing to do with the United States. He never even came close to touching any part of any land that became part of the US.

Another chapter in the sad saga of the decline of Apple: here's the new version of Numbers with menu items that are ads. it feels like a shareware program now, especially since you cannot turn off all the templates that appear that are "Premium" (paid) only. I don't want them. Go away.

I hear a lot of 'impeach' and '25th amendment' talk, but it's like to advocate for calling for his resignation as loudly as possible. It's honestly a more likely easy to get rid of him, and "Calls for Resignation Grow" adds more momentum than repeating a likely hopeless impeachment exercise.

I realize this is a small detail in the general horrors, but I'm curious as to whether anybody's car insurance has refused to pay for damages inflicted by ICE and their ilk, since they love to break out car windows in particular without probable cause.

One reason this is pernicious AF is that the statute of limitations on any possible theoretical federal election crime perpetrated in 2020 has likely expired.
It's a probe-and-fish, and is intended to spoliate past results so they can do the same thing to future results.

There's $45 billion in the ICE budge for Detention Centers. Want to know how much housing could be built for that amount? Per the 2021 Federal Housing Trust Fund analysis, about 211,000 units housing an average of four people each.
Housing for close to a million people. Or concentration camps.

The MNG is filling the role UN Peacekeepers once played, at least in theory: get in front of the aggressors, and count on the fact they won't attack you. We'll see if ICE will pepper spray and shoot actual trained soldiers.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
