SCOTUS just gave Trump more power to fire Congressionally picked bipartisan positions in govt. I don’t get it: don’t the Republicans realize when the Dems come back, they can just the same precedent to void Trump people? It’s almost like they’re betting Trump and MAGA will never leave DC…wait

And the ending is great too. At PSU, we prioritize learning speaking & listening over reading & writing. Our philosophy is based on the idea if that students get up & running by being able to talk to Japanese people, they can learn to read & write (easier) after they have "living" language

The first line alone is golden.

When are we going to get your Nonnonba though?

Pretty good list. I got to see bits of real draft pages from Taniguchi's DISTANT NEIGHBORHOOD at SF's de Young museum last month. Stunning work. Some of the clouds in the sky were done with white-out over the dots. Amazing work.

The person you're quoting is 100% right: What's Up Doc is 100% awesome and you're missing out, Zack D.

Translation: Trump will shakedown Netflix and WB or they will not get this buyout while he is president.

Wow, that was fast

What I am trying to say is: these shows should just "think forward" and try to establish new ground instead of honoring the past. Nobody really cares about the past past.

If I bring up Ted Lasso here, is that ok? So, I watched Season Three last week -- there were many times where I was going, "Oh, wait, who's that character?" or "Wait...somehow doing a spit-take with tea.. that's... what?" or "That character has a girlfriend?"

Because it would be WORK. These GOP Congresspeople are slobs and lazy freeloaders.

I’ve seen their ads all over Facebook. I had a strong “pirate” vibe from them

I was going to say “To each, their own” but yeah, no love here for the guy who started off making vacuum cleaners into art

I would rather we just talk more about the art. Why do peabrains have to cancel and police everything? If you ask about Lichtenstein..ask people to talk about why it’s great, what’s it like in person, what was the comic he looked at, etc

Is it me or does the regular news now seem like they can’t help being snarky with every the WH does?

It’s all the capital letters. Gives him his legitimacy.

Fentanyl, AI, and Epstein. Three biggest poisons of the 21st century for America.

You've seen more than me. I'm kinda unimpressed with cinema lately. I am watching a lot of Netflix Japanese shows -- pretty good stuff.

If you can't stand on facts and science, you don't belong anywhere near the Department of Health and Human Services. RFK Jr. has got to go.

Zack, in all your travels, you aren't watching more movies on all the airplanes? I find that hard to believe.

Dr. Oz just sucks oxygen from the planet. He needs to be jettisoned from earth.
