Starting trade wars to make it easier to take over the government was literally the plot to the Star Wars prequels.
Someone gave me a whole bag of oranges. Now if I can just get someone to gift me a bottle of champagne and it’ll be homemade mimosas all weekend.

I guess the biggest one would be Star Wars: A New Hope when I was 5-6 years old. My two faves I caught in theaters were Big Trouble in Little China with my dad and brothers and The Princess Bride on a date in high school.
Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:
Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

Who knew the real reason Party City closed was because they kept getting raided for supplying drones to the Mexican cartel?

If ever you are feeling overwhelmed and despondent, go to George’s page and read the latest observations. It’ll heal what ails ya. ❤️
🧵Spotted While on a Camping Trip in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A little furry black dog sits by the entrance of a country inn, monitoring people coming and going.
His human is chatting with other locals, but Little Furry Dog is vigilant.
If there's anyone to quietly woof at, he's the one to do it! (1)

There’s no need for me to point out how stupid you are. Anyone who saw your response already knows and anyone who didn’t doesn’t care.

A reminder of one of the loveliest pairs of siblings in the dictionary: ‘muscle’ and ‘mouse’. To the Roman imagination, the flexed biceps of a (typically naked) athlete resembled a rodent scuttling under the skin. ‘Musculus’, in Latin, means ‘little mouse’.

To put in perspective what these ski jumpers are doing:
They are routinely jumping the length of a football field and landing at speeds upwards of 60 mph.

Someone please explain what is the story with this mom of a Today host gone missing or kidnapped or whatever? Because people get snatched every fuckin day and it barely makes the local news. They sure as fuck don’t break into the Olympics to say that maybe possibly they found a person of interest.

How to say go fuck yourself without actually saying go fuck yourself.
Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.

How do I politely tell my agent asking if she still should go to lunch now when she came in at 12:45 and WFM just didn’t update her schedule that this is a stupid fucking question?

Just saw that commercial for Death Water and am now sufficiently terrified for this evening. I just wanna watch some Olympic Curling man, I don’t need to be permanently emotionally scarred.

A better headline would have been after proof came out Lutnick was in business with Epstein many years after his conviction in 2008, Massie has called for his resignation. It’s not an accusation. It’s fact.

It’s like these MFers never watched Looney Tunes as a kid. Wait, that would explain A LOT.
“Why would I watch a half time show in a language I don’t understand?”
For the same reason one might watch an Opera in a language they don’t understand. Because stories can transcend language. The problem is, no one in this country has media literacy.
