Hard not to underestimate how much I love the remember-your-spot feature in Criterion blu-rays. Sometimes I'll spend over 5 minutes looking for where I left off yesterday but Criterions seem to remember for months. "Resume?" Damn I stopped watching this 6 months ago!

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

This. Gets a follow from me. ✌️
In a world where exposing criminality is just a tool to be wielded for enemies, then an argument about Bill Clinton makes sense.
In a world where wrongdoing should be exposed on all sides without fear or favor...bring it on. It makes for a better regime to live under.

Best Seller. Really leaned into the unctuous villian bit.
It was a pretty dreadful film all round (and a dreadful adaptation of the Ellroy novel it was based on), but Woods did his utmost to extract some dramatic value from it, and yeah - Dat Ending!
For me, his career high will always be Richard Boyle in Oliver Stone's Salvador.

Fucking amazing. Congenital conspiracy theorists can't help feeding the conspiracy theories even when trying to quell the conspiracy theories.
The Trump regime manipulated recently released Epstein prison video footage, according to experts. Metadata shows the FBI’s 11-hour Epstein prison video was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro, combining at least two clips and saved multiple times. #3E #OpDeathEaters
Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

What discrimination did Andreessen face? He went to a public university & was able to work on early federally funded research projects on computing, and turn that into a career.
The insanity of the last 8 years? Workers or online posters who disagreed with him? A government that dared regulate him?

Why is Tommy Tuberville able to grind all government business to a halt but Dems can’t stop an unelected billionaire from pillaging all our tax data?
This is the epitome of college football coach logic. Graft for the boss, rules for everyone else.

Ah the time-honored strategy of release summary, let them lie and deny what you know you have, then release full content.
You'd think the Trumpers would understand this dynamic and yet.
