I do sometimes worry HOA will boomerang on me. Like I’ve become a guy recording audio logs to be discovered after a disaster. Or I’ll be in court explaining that, “Well I may have exaggerated my misadventures for dramatic effect, your honor. I assure you I cannot be blamed for the avalanche.”

Would be stunned if they end up holding the F1 GP in Bahrain. Jeddah might be safer being on the Red Sea coast. But no way could you get me on a plane moving through that airspace, either.

But it all stemmed from that decision to mess with a distributed series of permanent campsites that were really good at staying out of everyone's way. Meanwhile, new housing proposals were a street fight. The planning board treated their job like goalies in the Olympics.

It was real bad. So the city intensified sweeps and ended up turning a major park into a carpet of humanity. Nearby church stepped up to provide food and warmth, residents started complaining because it was a pretty grim, unsanitary situation. I checked it out once and, yeah, I couldn't live by it.

Exactly what happened in my home town of Lowell over the last few years. There were tons of small, semi-permanent homeless campsites. Residents complained about a couple of the larger ones, and there were some violence incidents in those sites. Clearing operations led to a few HUGE sites.

Yikes. That seems incredibly damning of Mills and whatever bench the Democrats have in Maine. Because I don’t think most Democratic voters anywhere would be KEEN to vote for someone with Platner’s baggage.

No but it did backfire. People thought it was a ridiculous complaint but everyone liked me at the company and the way it was reported up the chain was, “Look if he’s saying he and Rob aren’t getting along and Rob is confronting him about stuff, then we need to find out what Rob knows that we don’t.”

Is he still polling well? Because something that’s occurred to me is that if this dude’s candidacy is still viable in a democratic primary, then that field may have some real issues. Should not be this hard to put someone down with Nazi shit on his record and his body.

Jenson Button winces in the background as Keir Starmer shakes hands with Flavio Briatore at a garden party on a painfully bright spring day. Starmer looks, as he often does, like he is being piloted by a team of alien infiltrators whose only exposure to human behavior was via videos of fundraising galas and corporate all-hands.
And at that moment Britain crossed the event horizon of rizz.

I once hit a boss with this look and asked what the fuck his problem was with a coworker he was harassing and next thing I knew HR was telling me he felt threatened and I needed to be mindful of how my size can make some things come across.

Pierre Gasly wearing an Alpjne hat and shirt directs a hard stare off camera with his jaw tensed and head cocked slightly to the side.
Look I know it is easy to read what we want to from peoples faces but it seriously looks like Gasly does NOT like Flavio deciding to humiliate Colapinto for a staged DTS meeting.

A bit like with Conclave, though, the real pleasure is a movie based around letting absolute pros just play a scene together. Bureaucratic dramas are so good at generating opportunities for great actors to just perform.

Watched The Two Popes the other night. Between that, Conclave, and Wake Up Dead Man, we’re in a golden age of Catholicore cinema.
Expected Two Popes to mostly be about Ratzinger’s decision to step down. Was caught off guard by the section about the Dirty War. Really good film.

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

Now you just KNOW that doesn’t matter. They don’t care about that stuff and even if they did they’re too incompetent to advance any goals on those axes. But in 2003-4, your duty as a citizen was to consume reporting about Bush 2’s “philosophy” and then argue with crypto-fascists on your fav forums.

At least there is one bright spot about living under an openly corrupt and evil administration. You don’t see the chin-stroking that accompanied Iraq. “Ah but I must consider the possibility that, even without the WMDs, this might be a good move through the lenses of human rights AND realpolitik.”

The movie can’t really do justice to this, regrettably. You simply have to read the subtext of Caan’s confidence and inseam.

Well he's more Duke Leto given that Michael is obviously Paul. And the Don comes to harm when Sonny wishes to involve the Family in the spice trade with a faintly Eastern family backed by New York's Sardaukar.

Mind you, this was Visclosky in IN-1, so it's not like it was their fault things were going to hell. But it was palpable how much the Calumet Region was rotting while taxes flowed downstate.

When I interviewed for an academy nomination, they brought up brain drain and asked if I would promise to come home after my hypothetical discharge. I was like, "Well, I'd ask what are you doing to give me a place where there are possibilities to return to." And they were like, "Damn got us."

The obsession with "live action" being the best, most creatively credible production something can receive is absurd. ESPECIALLY a Sony AAA game where the games have the highest production values possible and already are more spectacular than most major movies.

Is this an IU story or is it an Indiana story? This reads like decades of being a right-wing hellhole governed directly by ALEC is causing problems.
