That Muppets Knives Out film Rian Johnson claims he turned down.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Arguing with JD Vance feels like taking the bait but still:
1. Per capita GDP is not a measure of "standard of living"
2. US GDP/capita is highly skewed by the outlier ultra-wealthy 0.01% class
3. Canadians, as a median, earn more money, work fewer hours, and live longer than Americans

maybe the best part about the Leafs collapse is they've played 15 of their 21 games so far at home.
They're on an 82 point pace at the quarter mark and 35 of their remaining 61 games are on the road, where so far they're 1-5 with losses to: Detroit, Buffalo, Columbus, Boston, and Chicago.

You mean the guy with "close ties" to Opus Dei (the right wing, conservative, traditionalist Catholic sect that's been accused of operating like a cult & is now subject to mandated reforms by the Papacy) defended [arguably] the country's most prominent anti-semite?

Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, faced blowback after defending Tucker Carlson's interview with a white nationalist. He later apologized and said he erred out of ignorance, because he did not keep up with the news and had simply read an aide’s script.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

A family member recently decided to end her life via medically-assisted suicide. She suffered from terminal brain cancer for the last several years, and I really appreciate she was able to go out on her own terms rather than let the cancer take more of herself.
