Hey, Pam Bondi, if the stock market plunges so far below 50,000 that 50,000 feels like science fiction, can we **then** talk about the Trump-Epstein Files???? #Epstein #Iran

Day 9. Doll. "Night of the Hunter" (1955), where a young girl's toy is central to the plot. #FilmSky #MovieSky #Films #Movies #Cinema
My spin on #31DaysOfOscar tradition from #TCM. But films that received **no** love from Academy.

“Intoxicating.” “Pretend it is your grandpa.” I’m nauseated even attempting to phrase those. I can’t fathom such thoughts, to associate “intoxicating” with any child.

Did an #AI bot write this cluttered, clunky post? My dead journalism professor is screaming wherever his soul abides.
"[T]he authorities in Los Angeles said." What authorities??? Los Angeles police? Then say "police." Mayor's office??? Say so.
I’m tired, so tired, of all the “winning.”

"Oil prices are up about 50%. You should expect gas prices to rise about 50%... Gas... about $3 a gallon... you should therefore expect gas to be a bit above $4 a gallon...
So if you get an opportunity to stop by the president's gas station when he's seeing it at $2 a gallon... definitely fill up "
My comfort movie is Flash Gordon (1980), a ridiculously fun movie unafraid to be goofy and witheringly satirical. I’ve watched it dozens of times, used to drive my former wife (she died a year ago) nuts. The new 4K transfer is like watching it new.
(Also, 40!?!? I am so damn old!)
I replied to this below and feel it to my core. Hundreds of thousands of US citizens have served, answered the call to serve, knowing full well they could die. That is courage Trump can’t even conceive or dream of.
Honestly, it boggles my mind, and I come from a *strong* military family.
Matt, sending you and the family much 🧡 from SW Virginia.

Told as a child by r-w mother that "the gays" wanted to take over D.C. so they could "r*pe me in the streets," and she'd grab at me. One of my closest childhood friends died by s*icide because he was gay. Had a monstrously evil mother. Hate kills. Words can kill.

Does it not occur to this amoral orange fuck that those soldiers very well **knew** they could come home in a casket, but served anyway? He can't fathom such courage and sacrifice.
