That one will let me spit fireballs for 30 seconds, right?

We have dust and rocks at home.

Back when horror films knew that what you DON’T see is often much scarier than what you do see. More directors should remember that. A classic.

I watched my fiancé’s grandmother make us breakfast at their ranch. She melted a ladle scrape of butter in an iron skillet, fried bacon and sausages in it, took the bacon out and cracked eggs directly into that, took them out, then poured the pancake batter into that. It was delicious, but healthy?

Not to shoot the driver, to kill her, with intent.

There’s FUCKIN VIDEO from multiple angles.

I find that while writing the scenes I know, they can uncover things about characters or the story that help untangle the hard parts.

That’s great, but who’s going to make them comply?

“ICE has no authority”? Maybe, but no one will stop them if they do it.

I want an overcoat that looks like a formal black overcoat but has rugged construction underneath like a duster, is water proof, has a giant hood tucked away so it can look like a monks robe, and also doubles as a cloak. And a frankly stupid number of pockets.

You want complicated? “Computer, turn of gravity in my cabin”

You don’t realize how much gravity helps with the boing-boing until it’s gone 🤣

Like the joy of being deep into writing and suddenly clicking and writing something really fantastic, and then looking back at the thousands of word leading up to this brilliance and realizing it’s all crap, but it’s necessary setup so you can’t just get rid of it. Sigh.

I suspect most people won’t bother with any of this. They won’t use written media at all. They’ll use audio books, Reels, TickTock or the streaming apps.

Jeff Bezos: How I Discredited and Killed A Renowned Pillar Of Journalism in Less Than A Year

Could you maybe, please, if it’s not too much trouble, not do a fascism? Unless you really want to!

So that detention center made about $5k off her, and will never suffer any repercussions for it.

Imagine having to follow the law. Guffaw!

I mean, I applaud the effort, but no one is going to enforce it. 😢

You know when she’s finally facing the consequences of this, she’s going to claim Stockholm Syndrome.

Suave is a good way to put it. Richard & Wilder would have pushed the knob to 11 when it was already at maximum 🤣. Little added depth to the character and gave the film room to breathe. It would have been incredible, but I do think this is the better version.

Authoritarian capitalism. For profit incarceration is even worse than for profit healthcare.

Sadly, he didn’t have the clout to convince the executives to cast Pryor in the movie. Cleavon Little was fantastic, though. Pryor would’ve brought a very different energy, but since he and Wilder worked so well together it probably would’ve been incredible in its own way.

That’s a difference of 0.00016787%

That’s like finding out a basketball is 0.125 millimeters (0.00492 inches) smaller than expected.

I’m impressed that isn’t just within the margin of error for even today’s measurements.

If that doesn’t mean “withdraw ice” then it means “comply”.

That’s MAGA’s rage at the world right there. They grew up believing “white privilege” would make them great, but they’ve been watching their standard of living declining steadily their entire lives, and are pissed.

Love El Cerrito. We spent a long time trying to get a place within walking distance of Solano but it was just too expensive for what you could get. We ended up near Point Richmond instead.

Every year? No, god that would be exhausting, and expensive.

I’m 58 years old, some of them are almost that old 😅 I have a PowerBook 170 in the garage somewhere (knowing the internet they’s probably instructions for installing Linux and running DOOM on it somewhere), my current laptop is 6 years old.
