Remember kids, if you're working today, no you're not. It's Christmas Eve Eve. Put 8 hours of fake meetings on your outlook calendar. You're meeting with Santa. Take a dozen smoke breaks and feed a reindeer. Dasher and Dancer love Newports. This work week is over if you believe it is.

Unreal that even behind bars, they're like "I miss preying on children with you!"
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day
"I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off.
There's silence for a second.
"Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."

Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.
Sigourney Weaver Says She Wishes DreamWorks Released A Director’s Cut Of ‘Galaxy Quest,’ Reminisces On Sequel That Never Came To Pass
Sigourney Weaver reflected on cult classic Galaxy Quest and how she wishes the sci-fi satire had released an R-rated director's cut.

Specifying that they're being forced to "waste resources" protecting incumbents is INCREDIBLY telling re: how stuck they are in their thinking: a primary that produces a new, exciting, motivating candidate is worth WAY MORE than anything your campaign funds can do for your "check-the-box" incumbent!
Sorry guys. If you had actually been “our own” instead of getting friendly with our enemies trying to kill our neighbors and our families, maybe you wouldn’t be getting attacked now, food for thought.
