For the 4th of July maybe watch some classic feel-good but still relevant and timely movies from back in the good old days that focus on the core values of our Republic ? I'm thinking "Soylent Green" and the original Carradine "Death Race 2000," then maybe "Rollerball."

Trump and Muskโs feud blows up again with threats of Doge and deportation
Reignited quarrel centers around Muskโs opposition to the presidentโs signature tax bill as it moves through Congress
I'm not a Trump fan, but I think we need to be clear here. Musk is mad at him for not screwing average Americans over ENOUGH in favor of billionaires. It's two crocs arguging, and Musk is the croc that wants to eat us completely not just rip off our legs.

2) I'm not young and I feel like the average level of sensibility in the DNC is twenty years older than ME! Until the DNC recognizes it's not an incumbency protecting machine, my money will go to people creating change.

1) I've been donating to Sanders and AOC. I'll donate to the party again when we don't hear Ken Martin sniveling in public about credibility and recognize that David Hogg represents the future and that we SHOULD be primary testing our tired, over-the-hill, candidates. #democrats #dnc

"Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?"
Yes there haven't been any shootings, yet...but there's no question of the intent in this case.

When we present on this "calm" and "silence" are things that come up a lot in terms of what underlying yearnings drive fantasies along these lines, particularly for people who are never entirely at peace. To be fair, that kind of captures the original beating heart of the "goth" aesthetic as well.

I haven't gotten into town in a while, but I suspect the current crowd are a real class act...not necessarily related but I can't help thinking it increases the odds of running into somebody with such a sophisticated standard of conduct.

Growing up or even living for long in the Washington DC Metro area leaves one with a permanent disadvantage in communicating what is "realistic" in terms of outcome and consequence to people who live elsewhere on the planet. I try to be fashionable and refer to it as "being jaded."

On point terrifying dystopian novels aren't selling like hotcakes these days...just my personal experience. I think most people assume ours is about "the bad things that have already happened" not "the much worse things that are coming."

They were pretty upset to learn that Doug Neidermeyer was dead, and also fictional, but are looking for someone with similar professional qualifications.

I've never met a person who used "alpha" to describe people, particularly themselves, who wasn't some variety of asshole. Also the Venn diagram overlap of people who use that term aggressively and people who don't know where it comes from, is very large.

I'm convinced that much of the power of J. R. R. Tolkien's writing is that his Catholic repression combined with Merton College compelled a great deal more psychosexuality into his work than is generally credited.

CNNโs Harry Enten says that President Donald Trump has lost the approval of many independent voters in the United States because of his economic agenda.
In Today's good-ish news. People are learning that "eating faces" was not a metaphor. I mean it is regrettable more people don't care about the threat to send American Citizens to concentration camps in other countries, but you know a pfennig is a pfennig. www.cnn.com/2025/04/15/p...

We've always had the "Bunny Dip" and "Bunny Perch," but I think I like the "Bunny Crouch" even better. Always being since 1960, and my history books don't go back beyond that.
