Taking a break from the orange idiot, here's my cat sitting in the window with her tongue out. Worth a smile.

There’s obviously a variety of factors at play, but it’s wholly wild that a movie like TRAFFIC made 200 mil theatrically back in 2000 and BLACK BAG and PRESENCE combined will likely not even earn a quarter of that globally. I suppose the silver lining is that Soderbergh is still making movies.

America’s next killing spree: 10 days, five states, six death-row prisoners set to die Desolate spectacle of executions begins again under Trump, in landscape of capital punishment as riven as US is as a whole

Wow, you mean your strategy of following 18 people here and showing up once every three weeks to complain about how quiet it is hasn't paid off? Surprising!

Fun fact: they titled the Robbie Williams biopic BETTER MAN because HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS was already taken

The new 4K UHD of CRONOS from the BFI is a handsome package housed in a hard slipcase with a 60 page book, poster and post cards. Plus a whole slew of new and archival extras on the two disc set.

Can’t wait to pop this in and see how it looks!

Fight the power.

Lucha contra el poder

Warn families and friends.

Feb 28th, blackout day. Don't buy or post with any Bro-ligarchs or Nazis. Make them feel the will of the people.

Many of those higher quality garments can be found at secondhand and thrift stores. I have several great pieces I got through ThredUP for really good prices. Thrift stores in wealthier areas often yield the higher-end brands more reliably.

Final Thought
While impossible to predict market shifts, focusing on essential items with long shelf lives & anticipating significant purchases can help mitigate rising prices.
Prioritize your personal needs and the durability of goods.
Be strong. Be smart. Be kind.
It's only gonna get worse.

Storage Considerations:

Ensure you have adequate storage space for non-perishable items. Keep food products in a cool, dry place to maximize shelf life. Regularly check expiration dates and rotate stock to maintain freshness.

Design your budget based on your specific needs and consumption patterns.
Suggested breakdown:
Electronics & Tech: 30%
Food & Groceries: 25%
Vehicles & Parts: 20%
Clothing & Apparel: 10%
Household Essentials: 15%
This ensures a balanced approach, addressing both immediate & long-term needs.

5: Household Essentials
Everyday items price increase due to broader economic effects.

Stock up on necessities:
Toothpaste, soap, shampoo, feminine hygiene products. Detergents, disinfectants, paper products.
Medications: Pain relievers, allergy medications, & basic first-aid supplies.

4:Clothing and Apparel

Impact: Tariffs on imports may lead to increased prices for clothing & textiles.

Recommendation: Invest in durable, essential clothing items that are less likely to go out of style. Focus on quality over quantity to ensure longevity.

3: Groceries
Tariffs on Mexico & Canada = increase cost of food.

Stock up on long shelf lives = Grains, Legumes, Rice, pasta, lentils,beans.
Canned: Vegetables, fruits, meats, soups.
Dry: Flour, sugar, oats, powder milk.
Oils, spices, & condiments.

Cost-effective & sustain you long term.

2: Vehicles and Automotive Parts

Tariffs on metals & car parts from Canada & Mexico may = higher prices for vehicles and replacement parts

Recommendation: If you're considering a new vehicle or need significant repairs, it might be cost-effective to make those investments sooner rather than later.

1. Electronics and Technology
Tariffs on Chinese imports and China's ban on critical minerals will raise the cost of electronics, smartphones, computers, & appliances.

If you'll need new devices in the next few years, consider buying them now. Focus on essentials smartphones, laptops, or tablets.

"FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL"

As we're ALL about to suffer due to Trump's tariffs, here's a breakdown of items likely to be affected so you can plan now.

I'll have to do this in multiple posts due to the limit of words. But this will help you to make good decisions.

Poster for pop culture convention with pictures of Zack Ward as Scut Farkus, the Postal Dude, Sgt. Donnely from Transformers.

Hello everyone! I'm an actor best known as Scut Farkus from A Christmas Story, Dave from Titus, Nicholai from Resident Evil: Apocalypse, The Dude from Postal, and other fun stuff. I will NEVER sell you anything, just talk about projects, life, art and science. Looking forward to meeting you!

It's funny cuz it's true.

We formally reject the legitimacy of the Trump administration and do not recognize it as the lawful governing authority of the United States. #3E

If this actually manages to happen, this will be one of the biggest coups in home video history. Massive news.

JFC indeed.

Bookshop.org enters the e-book arena, giving indie stores a new way to compete with Amazon "Everything Amazon can do, we want to do as well or better," says CEO Andy Hunter on boosting indie sales digitally.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do!
