The government is shut down, but don't worry, Donnie is getting his 200+ million dollar gilded White House Ballroom. And never mind the donations from completely altruistic patriotic parties used to build it. I'm sure there will be zero quid pro quo. Are we winning?

Want to know three opinions of mine that might pissoff some fanboys and fangirls?

1. Jack Nicholson was the worst part of Stanley Kubrick's version of The Shining.

2. Led Zeppelin is overrated.

3. Batman... meh.

Bring on your hate and let it warm my heart!

You mean a "robust earning season" based on the broken and bloodied bones of the working poor and the working class.

At some point people will start figuratively, and literally, burning it all down.

Star Trek TNG, S5E16: Worf fights a barrel and loses. Riker and Picard debate whether its ethical to stab your friend to death. Dr. Crusher rips out Worf's spine.

8/10 Star Trek is at its best when it's 80% debates about the limits of radical multiculturalism and 20% lasers

The Enterprise D is looming near the camera, taking up most of the frame. In blue text we see the episode title, "Ethics." Oh boy. You see a title like that you know you're in for a real episode of Star Trek, where they spend most of it debating morality and then Captain Picard gives a speech. Fuck yes. This is what I'm here for. PUT IT IN MY VEINS.

DARK AMERICA
(Novella)

Remember, the first thing they did was seize the capital.

On January 20, 2021, the United States of America fell to a fascist coup. Shattering the world's oldest democracy. Shattered but did not destroy it.

Stephen King's The Shining (Mini-Series)

Lost in the shadow of Kubrick’s masterpiece, this remake is a solid telling of the story in its own right.

Enough horror movies and teenager birthday shenanigans for the day.

I'm settled in watching Stargate: Atlantis. I love episodes with Colonel Caldwell.

Mitch Pileggi is a fucking rock star!

If there's anything I'm sure of regarding the Middle Ages, it's that there were a lot of lice and a ton of dysentery.

Sharing isn't something you're born with, like a hatred for Brussels sprouts.

It's something you learn, like Piracy!

Army Of The Dead

I love this movie.

It’s a damn crime that it doesn’t get the credit as a fun as hell zombie romp.

I’m still pissed off that they canceled the sequel.
