Acts Of Rindness

I recommend the hilarity that is Ludlum's original Bourne trilogy. We know the movies. The books are set in the 70s though and he spends a ridiculous amount of time in phone booths.

otter speaks truth!

Gotta stop calling them unserious. Trump and co are very, deadly serious. Just not in anything resembling a good way.
And they will rig the 2026 election (again?) and maintain power. And 2028.
Remember every right wing accusation is a confession. From election rigging to pedophilia.

Symbols can change meaning over time.
The swastika wasn't always associated with the worst humanity ever had to offer, and now it does. The white poppy can symbolize a desire for peace over what is too often a fetishization of GLORIOUS VICTORY rather than mourn those fallen to the horrors of war.

Humanity already doesn't deserve dogs. If they could talk they would make our inadequacies so much depressingly clearer. I don't think we would survive that.

That's the same facial expression my toddler had when her diaper was filled.
Coincidence? I think not.

Pity they only realize now that all those horrible things are exactly the "greatness" that was promised all along. Features, not bugs.

Wooooo... Between Sepp and Gianni... They have made the IOC look respectable.

Except that Mamdani will be "fine" whereas they backed the 🍊💩4🧠 who is at least as awful as the left earned them he would be.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Grisly recording reveals bat catching, killing and eating robin mid-flight Before the Spanish study, some scientists had been sceptical about the mammals attacking migratory birds

A thing I now know, but really didn't need to... 🤢 www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. No jokes. No shade. No schadenfreude. The reason you never see ICE arresting Proud Boys and Oath Keepers is the same reason you never see Keanu Reeves hanging out with John Wick and Neo.

If a billionaire becomes a trillionaire, 300 million can live in squalor and the GDP has still gone up! Win win!

The next Planet of the Apes movie needs Jane Goodall statues in the background. Nothing ostentatious or religious about it. Just in the background where no one really takes note of it.

We knew full well he was lying then, but can be pretty sure he's telling the truth now.

I enjoy this opportunity for pedantry: Johnstown couldn't afford name brand "Kool-Aid", they went with "Fla-Vor Aid"
...
Jonestown’s legacy lives on in the ironic phrase “drink the Kool-Aid”. (In actuality it was Fla-Vor-Aid.)
...

A minimum wage keeping pace with inflation the past 40 years would have accomplished much of that. Woulda been nice.

Christ is going to be sad that this recruitment campaign for His army will Rapture up about the world's half dozen blameless souls plus all our dogs.
Well not too disappointed, he'll have lots of good puppers with Him.
And we'll be disappointed to still be stuck with all the "Christian" asshats.

We have a great leader and captain in Suzuki. Nous sommes très chanceux!
Praise all the Forum ghosts that MB didn't hold out for Glass instead.

That describes every Anglo ever. Slip in a few regional dialects and I end up completely boulversé.
He's doing great and showing what a real Montréal captain should be. Not necessarily fully bilingual but committed to the city and culture!

Concur and it extends to the whole administration.
Deadly serious.

Except, as Orwell pointed out, you can be made to doubt your own experience. Or rather your interpretation of that experience.
Add in a soupçon of racism ("they" are getting it worse than me) and your authoritarian stew is coming along nicely.

My take is to fix the Supreme Court with actual judges not partisan hacks.
Definitely need to overturn Citizens United. If Roe could be overturned, so can Citizens.
Then legislate political contribution limits.

Powers of executive judicial and legislative branches should rebalance after that.

Blaming the victim/Gaslighting again I see, classic bully tactic. Hoekstra isn't the problem however, we can all politely nod and smile at him and casually do everything opposite what he says.

Establish (years ago already) an imaginary enemy that anyone who upsets you can be assigned to. And then made to disappear.

You are here.

He scores 40+ and I think Hughes will talk $8M+
But that's how the business works. Perform to a certain level, get paid. What I like is his positive attitude, fun, tinged with realism.

Maybe if they had done that in French as well we would have a better idea of which nuance of "Hard" we are looking at here?
And what if someone chooses something like quantum physics? That's hard, but it's not like you can Schrödinger's Cat your way into scoring goals.

1000 internet points to the person who adds Vader force choking to the first pic.
