One of my favorite people?

Elizabeth Banks! Funny, smart, sexy, & cool. Plus, she's wickedly talented in comedy, drama, writing & directing.

She's the whole package; a force for positivity that puts a smile on my face.

Happy Birthday, 2/10/1974.

As evidenced by him surviving in the mid-'90s Topps comic sequel with a literal "Nah, I'm too good at hunting raptors to actually get eaten, so I just bobbed and weaved outta there" - yes, I bought those comics, I'm very normal.

For the record, Oren Cass is simply not an economist. He does not have the training. He has never practiced. โ€œChief Economistโ€ is a deliberately deceptive title.

New MN state motto: "If you saw something, no you didn't."
How strong is my impulse to not tell on my neighbors is, as we descend deeper into a fascist police state? I just passed a guy eating a snack cake in a grocery store aisle. I just kept walking, didn't alert authorities, didn't negotiate with Tom Homan at all.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

FDA wonโ€™t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine
The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

Yeah, this is not even taking a knee. Basic expressions of empathy or solidarity, or concern about government abuses, can trigger attacks from the President and trigger death threats.
Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...
The Threshold
The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.

seriously the matrix 4 is an ASTONISHING heist of warner bros. It tells a sequel story that properly updates its themes, while being extremely open hearted and based on plot developments from the MMO no one played. The matrix was a sneaky back door trans metaphor, 4 is just a spit in the face

THIRD, the movie updates the trans metaphor of the trilogy to now include de-transitioners and late in life transitioners. It also refocuses the story as a proper love story between Neo and Trinity as equal partners in their power.

SECOND of all, the meta stuff is built into the internal mechanisms. the new matrix built by the Analyst HAS the literal story of the matrix trilogy existing within it as fiction. Its status as mass market fiction is used to defang its revolutionary power as a tool of control. Its not just "jokes"
