These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Strong work!

Killer soundtrack, too!

This one has been on my to watch list forever. I have to be in the mood for Argento.

Delightfully bananas. You can see why Jennifer Connolly went on to such a good career. Would make a fun double feature with Nope.

That didn’t take long

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

If they can find a legal fiction to not pay furloughed workers, they can find another one that carves out an exception for the secret police and/or national guard. They’re playing Calvinball and it is foolish to think otherwise

Big Tom Wambsgambs energy

if you think about it, tracking the emissions from the puffs themselves implies a huge undercount. after all if I don't take them I will literally die, a huge amount of avoided emissions

National Guard deployment moves ahead in Illinois after judge declines state's suit to block Trump call-up — Chicago Tribune Attorneys for the Trump administration said in court that Texas National Guard units could begin operations by Tuesday, the same day Illinois Guard members have been ordered to report.

Absolute failure of our system that a federal judge can be “very concerned” about Trump’s unlawful attempt to send troops into a city, but also powerless to stop it.

The default should be to protect us from government abuse, not to protect government from temporary inconvenience.

Portland: still not on fire or under attack despite what an angry old man claims

You heard her

You know damn well Stephen Miller does not capitalize "Black"

What's the over/under on time until someone comes here thinking you are serious? Put me down for 45 minutes.

Oh man do I have to root for the Blue Jays now

Here it isn't even an option!

You’re going to have to put a lot more effort into making and maintaining friendships. And you’re also probably going to need to let some go. Pay attention to how people make you feel.

Also drink less, move more, and learn how to cook for yourself if you haven’t already.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

Yeah good call. Should start doing that

This one is fine, though

If you need to drive near the St. James Bridge this morning, don’t

Man having a post do numbers sure does bring the tedious out, and quickly

Yes to this whole thread and: the point of understanding this context isn’t to diffuse blame but rather to impress upon all the breadth and depth of reform and repair needed.

Simply putting Dems back in charge doesn’t fix it. We did that twice already!

IANAL but it seems bad if a judge feels compelled to remind you—more than once—that you’re an officer of the court

Firestarter (1984)

Bit of a slog tbh. Several great actors earning a paycheck.

I wonder if Keith Thomas’ remake is better? He did a great job on The First Omen…

Also I just don’t get why Thunberg gets under the skin of people on the Right so goddamn much. Look out it’s a girl with opinions OH NO SOCIETY IS DOOOOOMED you fuckin losers

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!!
