Oh my stars.
Frankenstein (2025) is amazing.
I'm... in awe.
This was fantastic, this is why I love movies. An adaptation of my favorite book. At a loss for words.

Who else loved this one? Let's share some of that.

Built in 1620, hôtel de Claude Passart, in Paris's 3rd arrondissement, has been exquisitely restored.

Wealth is not all bad. It often funds grand principles, beautiful things, useful businesses & jobs, and many other worthwhile ventures that would not get funded by us paupers.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Blame the shutdown on citizens who prefer politicians to vanquish their opponents rather than to work for the common good theconversation.com/blame-the-sh... We're also at fault collectively for electing a convicted felon with a business record of bankruptcy, corruption, and cheating to lead us.
Blame the shutdown on citizens who prefer politicians to vanquish their opponents rather than to work for the common good
Politicians get blamed for government shutdowns. But does the fault lie also with citizens, who are more invested in punishing partisan rivals than in demanding competent government?
