It’s really tiring and annoying to have postseason games decided by dubious ref calls but that’s what the NFL likes, I guess.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I’ve literally traveled from LA to SF to specifically see a movie.
Not to mention, here in LA we routinely drive a half hour or so “to another town” to see movies.

I'm just going to point out that ICE is about 23 years old. It was formed as part of the response to 9/11 and was reactionary, performative, and racist from the start.
Its not eternal. This is not a thousand-year Reich.

How fossil-fuel fetishism has us behind in energy: "I don’t think China is eating our lunch, per se. I think they made their own lunch. The nation invested in the kitchen, hired better chefs, refined its recipe year after year, and turned its offerings into something people like me genuinely crave."
I Came to CES to Check Out Energy and Solar Power Innovations and Found That China Is Running Laps Around Us
In Las Vegas, I saw a tale of two nations’ energy priorities. The US needs to get its act together.

Remember that scene in Monty Python & the Holy Grail when John Cleese’s Lancelot endlessly charges at the castle (same take repeated ~6 times) & then suddenly he’s at the gate, cuts down a guard & goes through, & the other guard stares and says “…hey”?
MAGA bullshit is Cleese, the guard is the DNC.

Us Olds need to shout to the heavens to remind everyone that ICE started in 2003. I have clothes older than it. We got along just fine without ICE before and we can get along just fine without it now.

I’m looking forward to seeing this and I’m aspect ratio-agnostic, but this particular shot is a terrible use of a 3:1 frame.
#NowWatching and kudos to Bryan Fuller saying, "They're finally gonna let me direct a movie? I'm using the widest aspect ratio I can."
Bring it on, 3:1.
