  1. We don't know if the internals are really that good or if there is a snowball's chance but...I can dream for a minute.
  2. Jack Cousteau ⚓️: "Stefanik was crushed and scrambled to reverse Trump's decision before he announced it on Truth Social, according to people familiar with the matter.—axios" — Bluesky Nice
  3. Saw this blurb at the bottom of the wikipedia page for the movie Which of those is the best? Is that list missing any good chases?
  4. One other thought on this. Wang Chung's score stands up very well over time...probably because i have the soft filter on those memories I also really liked the Eurythmics original score for 1984 and Peter Gabriel's score for The Last Temptation of Christ.
  5. I just rewatched this. I'd compare it to a Hank Williams sr. song but in reverse. His music was super basic but his lyrics were great. Where as in To Live and Die in LA - the dialogue is super basic and even groanworthy in places - but the set piece scenes are fantastic. The chase scene after they screw up the FBI bust is fantastic. The chase to capture John Turturo in the airport is great. Male to female nudity ratio is skewed a bit heavy toward male nudity. The actress who plays Willem Dafoe's girlfriend and the actress who played on Frasier are Bob Guccione-level fantasy material: "I am counterfeiter in a west coast city and i never thought I'd be writing a letter to your magazine, but. . . " The ending is a thinker. Narratively...is the main character Dafoe or Peterson? Which is more sympathetic? Or is it Pankow who is the one actually on the Campbell-esque "hero's journey"?
  6. what the heck! This cannot be true.
  7. yeah, that wired article is wholly believable. He was a media figure so he had media contacts. Obviously they tended toward the rw media ecosystem but also some legitimate news outlets in there.
  8. 'Tesla wins, Detroit bleeds': Wall Street analysts say Musk is clear auto tariff winner
  9. Elise Stefanik is Cleveland State
  10. To quote a bystander in the movie Team America: World Police when the Panama Canal was hit by the terrorists (sorry, spoiler) and it sent water flooding everywhere "No Me Gusto"
  11. Ok, its nice Signalgate is a serious issue for Trump, even among Republicans: poll
  12. I don't not agree with this
  13. The centrists who want sensible laws do need to be smarter about the semantics but that's just more signal/noise crap. Navigating it is just part of the game.
  14. In some cases the allied groups who are trying to latch onto some rock during a storm surge of negative stories will latch onto these things "You don't even know how to tell what an Assault Rifle is!"
  15. Well at least he's aware he's not popular. If he moderates his actions even an iota -- on a long enough timeline - it will redress the loss of critical health research and distribution of life-saving drugs to the millions who die. I sure can't wait for him to be the Governor of Mars.
  16. I wish this were the case. The reality is they are being directed to go whole hog on Musk stuff to make him happy so he leaves them off the cut lists.
  17. I would not stop with the sarcastic posts.
  18. Nice...a little bit of sunshine Brendel: "Another reason it is cowardly to simply obey and let them take over your newsroom or university is that if you don’t they often will be like “well ****, that was our main idea”" — Bluesky
  19. What else are they keeping from him?
  20. This would be an indicator IF this story were breaking through.
  21. Glad to see Colbert giving this the right treatment. People get this story it appears. It breaks through the idiocracy.
  22. well, at least there is this. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2032497/putin-clear-signal-no-peace-zelensky
