Ah, yes, notoriously family-friendly musician Snoop Dogg.
Snoop Dogg says he's 'scared to go to the movies' after bringing his grandson to 2022's 'Lightyear,' which features a lesbian couple. 'They're putting it everywhere,' he said of LGBTQ+ representation.

Film nerds - let us unite to help this man
I am looking for a movie and need your help. It's an Irish thriller/psychological horror movie from between 2000-2010 (probably). I thought it had Ciaran Hinds in it but can't find it on his IMDB page, colors are very dark and/or blue. Help me

On August 25, 2017, Hurricane #Harvey made landfall near Rockport TX. After a 14-day journey from the west coast of Africa to the coast of Texas, it rapidly intensified right before landfall to a Category 4 hurricane. This was the first U.S. major hurricane landfall since Wilma in October 2005.

Libraries are crazy, man. You just ask if you can borrow a book and they just, like give it to you if you promise to bring it back

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

A Norwegian name for a reset switch (or a solution so basic even a fool can grasp it) is “a Swedish button.” A Swedish name for a plastic bag is a “Polish attaché case.” And a Finnish phrase for something that doesn’t work is “like a Russian ass buzzer; it doesn’t buzz and it doesn’t fit in the ass”

Say it with us—a library loan is not a lost sale! 📚
Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.
I got it from my local library system, which has 28 physical copies (more than half are checked out) and 4 audiobooks. The branch library is two blocks from my house so I get most of my books from there. Hope this helps because I loved the book - I'm not a historian and knew nothing of that period.
