Sen. Chris Murphy: "Trump's FCC forced a major network to pull a loud Trump critic, Jimmy Kimmel, off the air โ€” essentially saying that any media actor that doesn't say what Trump wants them to say...is going to be silenced. That's censorship. That's not America."

FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who intends to monitor bias while wearing the president's bust as a lapel pin, is the poster child for why the Constitution bars the government from meddling in newsrooms' editorial decisions.

I beg your fucking pardon, the man child with not an iota of qualification to be in government was bad for government?

Iโ€™m fucking beside myself in shock. Fucking morons.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're on the bridge of the Enterprise. Kirk is standing in gold uniform and seems perturbed about something perturbing going on. Closed caption reads, "NOTHING MAKES SENSE."

Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.

Here's a cheap approach for generating procedural AO/Edge/Cavity masks: ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’š

Compare the normal map to the mesh normal to highlight edges where they diverge, wont work as well at a distance though

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

We no longer have a functional Supreme Court and people (especially those in power and in the media) need to start plainly addressing that fact.

The entire edifice, along with many other pillars of government, will need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

5 years ago I got to be part of this beautiful, yearning, queer indie film. It was my first time in Japan, one of my first dramatic roles, and after success at film festivals, we can finally share it with the world! Join us for the digital screening and zoom. โ™ฅ๏ธ youtu.be/poVNjzJeSiA

This man is the lead of the next Marvel movie, appearing in the next Avengers flick, one of the leads of a major HBO series, and is The Mandalorian and when every Hollywood PR hack would go "HEY PEDRO BABY SHHH ABOUT THE TRANS STUFF" he won't shut up and I will love him for it forever

But taking the actual number 3 spot for me?

1999โ€™s The Mummy by Jerry Goldsmith hands down. The perfect mix of adventure, romanticism and atmospheric horror thatโ€™s absolutely balanced.

Honorable mentions for 10 Things I Hate About You, A Knightโ€™s Tale (the blended score with David Bowieโ€™s Golden Years slaps hard) and the Batman Forever soundtrack: other than Seal you got U2, the Offspring, Brandy, Michael Hutchence, Massive Attack featuring Tracie Thorn and the Flaming Lips.

Just a moment to vent on the current job struggle with questions I so desperately want to shout but donโ€™t because unprofessional:

Why donโ€™t you want me and why donโ€™t you think Iโ€™m hire-able.

We now resume the job struggle.

This is why weโ€™re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.
