The easy argument, the economic argument, the political argument, the social argument will always favour a US solution.

What that does not address is the national security argument. Who has eyes yet cannot see?

Don't be a Chamberlain. Be a Churchill.

Another great example is the excellent Stir of Echoes (1999). What does orange juice have to do with the supernatural? We never find out, but poor Kevin Bacon stocks up.

Both ends of the spectrum in the Alien franchise. Alien introduced the open-ended mystery of the "Space Jockey". Prometheus explained it in the worst possible way.

All according to the US conservative-style plan.

Starve municipalities of all funding: healthcare, education, and now speed cams.

Municipalities will be forced to outsource, sell off, or kowtow to the Imperial Premiereship.

I know graphs can be boring, so it's easy to miss that the graph is LOGRITHMIC. It looks like a nice steady lowering of solar prices. No. It's falling off a cliff.

Now compare that to utilities' actual costs. Insane.

Ok - hear me out. You're talking rich people who love their pets enough for custom art. The terrier is soo close. Why not take it juuuust a little further...

Are drones a poor man's MAD doctrine?

There might be some sort of defense developed eventually, but there's a lot of infrastructure out there, and a lot of low-cost attack vectors.

I mean, if I were the Venezuelan Minister of Defense I'd be making plans...

Given the myriad games set in Pripyat and the incredible series Chernobyl (2019), I'd give myself fair-to-middling odds of being able to navigate the city despite never having been irradiated.

Yes. Yes. Yes. They have all compartmentalized their empathy, and libertarian'd their transactions, and moral hazarded any good policy.

So now, just shy of the Conservative Apocalypse they are trying to weasel out of the Republican Rapture so they don't get sucked down the sewer where they belong.

Tylenol should sue the fucking shit out of everyone involved. Get a ruling that making that announcement without evidence wasn't part of their jobs, so no partial immunity, and then sue them into the next world. Dominion showed us the way.

Reminded me of Chris Pine and Alan Tudyk in "If Congress was your Co-worker" where jelly Chris yells "Nobody look at Bob!"

Well, sure, the weekends, yeah. But asides from weekends off, paid vacations, work breaks, sick leave, paid holidays, no child labor, safer working conditions, and health care and retirement benefits, WHAT HAVE THE UNIONS EVER DONE FOR US?

Dem leadership is faced with a paralyzing decision between big donor money or popular policy.

Gavin Newsom is just anti-Trump. He didn't make the switch. He's still anti-trans.

Have courage. Switch over. Zohran Mamdani proved it is possible.

Phoenix finally broke me with Eddington. I hung in with Joaquin Phoenix through his Andy Kaufman period. And I searched for a silver lining to Inherent Vice, which was Eric Roberts' wonderful soliloquy.

But this thing. Another sad-ass mumblefest that puts people at risk just watching it.

A couple of weeks before the show, Angus and I had met in Toronto at Grizzly Bar. “You think I’m going to let that fucking criminal take my country? Not a chance,” he said as we drank Canadian beers. “So suddenly we go from being really easygoing to a nation of hockey goons.”

...aaaand this is why you never trust Reformed Republicans, Never Trumpers, Third Way, America Party, whatever.

Yeah, they might be legit. But keep your fucking eye on them. They might be like Walsh, serving up both-sider, warmed-over, easily-disproved horseshit.

In that interview he explains that Ivy League universities, students, everyone in filmmaking, & Democrats are all stupid.

But the director of The Spanish Prisoner thinks Trump is "pro-constitutional" and "a hero".
