Promotional composite image for the Ricky Graham comedy "Murder Most Meemaw!"Set against a red background like Gothic patterned wallpaper, black and white images of the cast, dressed in black and underlit, expressing various expressions of shock and fear, centered around a large black and white image of Meemaw holding her hands up next to her face in a mock expression of fear. She is wearing her good old-lady wig, glasses, and pearl earrings and necklace. The image has a black border surrounding the figures, with ornately scrolled corners. The border glows with an eerie green light. The legend on the image reads, "Murder Most MeeMaw. Agatha Christie...New Orleans Style!"

Amazon Prime slammed after removing crucial scene from iconic holiday film AS Christmas approaches, Amazon Prime is once again under fire for a move that has movie fans fuming. The streaming giant is facing backlash over its release of a shortened version of a holiday fav…

Amazon has apparently cut out nearly all of the Pottersville sequence from "It's a Wonderful Life," effectively rendering the film meaningless. Seems Amazon doesn't want you to see the reality of the situation.

Damned right I'm a theatre kid! I'm proud of it. It makes me more than equipped to deal with ignorant fascist bullshit from witless, gormless, culturally bankrupt fools who think they're "clever."
Now, go Google all the big words that actual adults use, MAGAts.

AI image of American President Trump, given an amporphic pig's head with a leering grin of wide, discolored teeth, and his signature hairstyle, sat in the Oval Office, festooned with cheap plastic gold painted molding from Home Depot.

People ask, "what do his supporters see in him?" "How can they defend him?? How???"
Because, he IS them. Pres. Piggy represents every selfish, narrow, vindictive thought they worship, making virtues out of vile putrescent gall by presidential fiat.
HE IS WHO THEY ARE! THEY WANT TO BE HIM!!!

Let's be honest. White folks are highly jealous of what Black folks can & should do with their hair.
I mean, think about it. The standard White woman hair is a stylized football helmet or long & straight. White guys, like mine, or a buzzcut. But, the lady in the photograph? That's ART, y'all!!!

First Amendment rights, violated. The officer's false outrage is not a legal point, in any court.
Why is he trying to make her responsible for educating this officer's children? That's YOUR job, bro! Literally!!
Performative morality, chauvinism, & unwarranted arrest. Just to salve this guy's ego.

Gov. Landry announced that any New Yorkers who want to escape Mayor-elect Mamdani are welcome to move to LA.
Where there's:
Far less mass transit; restaurants, malls, & Walmarts close at 10 pm; a large populace that looks askance at Yankees AND minorities; Cajuns exist beyond a menu item.

And why? Because he's suddenly realized that any motion through Congress will eventually require his signature to pass. And, by then, he will have come up with another word salad to avoid signing; thus, killing the whole thing.
Just more vaudeville theatrics from a FAILED former Broadway producer!

Here's a MAGA "positive:"

I'm consistently amazed by the utter absence of compassion or charity from the MAGA disciples.

I've been in my highly jaded era for a while. It's nice to know I can still be amazed.

This constitutes the depth & breadth of my compassion and charity for MAGA.

Meanwhile, back in Magadorff they're screeching for the US FCC to "revoke the broadcasting license" of the BBC.
Yeah. They think the FCC in the US can shut down the BBC in GB.
They're the same idiots who went to closed polls in their own states, trying hard to vote against Mamdani in NYC.

Trump's Granddaughter Finishes Last In LPGA Debut - Joe.My.God. The Daily Beast reports: Kai Trump’s much-hyped leap into professional golf landed with a thud, as President Donald Trump’s granddaughter opened her LPGA Tour debut with a bruising dead-last finish in...

Cue the meritless accusations, perfunctory threats, and frivolous litigation against the LPGA for something something Pedofuhrer's granddaughter.

Now Pedofuhrer wants to sue the BBC over a TV show easily 95% of Americans neither watched nor heard of before today.
Here's a thought, media orgs: stop reporting on him. Period.
Just stop. Don't mention his name.
He thrives on any attention. Starve him of that, and he will wither and collapse.

Good news, for a change--SCOTUS said "nope" to Kim Davis & the Christian nationalists' attempt to overturn Obergefell. Same sex marriage is safe, for now.
It almost mitigates the sting of the Dems caving to MAGA to reopen the govt. Kissinger said it-snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Also, look at the capitulation the way Pedofuhrer will surely view this situation. This will be the top story on every network tomorrow morning, and throughout the next several days. The umber narcissist will feast on this and spew his toxic arrogance all over the nation. We're soaking in it.

If anyone believes that Trump is going to allow SNAP benefits to return to normal after winning over the Dems in the shutdown, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I'd like to sell you.
This will only embolden him and make things worse for everyone. I know why they caved, but damn it!!!

Live updates: Senate reaches deal to extend government funding in major sign shutdown is poised to end | CNN Politics Several Senate Democrats are signaling a willingness to vote to reopen the government if they secure some concessions from the White House, according to a source. Follow here for the latest.

That's it. Eight Dems caved to their demands on the promise of a vote they already know they will lose. For the next several weeks, all we're going to hear are insults and derision about "destroying the Dems", all the while blaming them for what the GOP has wrought. No way out now.
Damn it.

Context: all grocery stores carry insurance against food loss. Most policies require stores to discard ALL FOOD CLAIMED. It cannot be given away.
Groceries make more money by throwing perfectly good food away than by donating expired/damaged stock.
Insurance is the problem.
