New Fury In The Slaughterhouse single dropped. Good stuff, and I've met the video's director, Olaf, a bunch of times when hanging out with the band. Great job, Olaf! It looks spectacular!

I look forward to Kristi Noem being put up for war crimes on the American people, and imprisoned for the rest of her life.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Saturday.
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

At some point in the very near future, we're going to have all of these "ICE Agents" up on trials for war crimes.
This bullshit is done. Tell me you're going to put all these criminals in jail, and you'll have the votes of 2/3rds of this country.
Kristi Noem, your total lies are despicable.

We’re done with your gaslighting, Stephen Miller.
Even if the officer were run over, it’s not domestic terrorism.
But as you can see from the path of the car after she was shot, she was trying to drive away.
You are inciting untrained thugs to murder Americans.
This is on you.

Turns out Netflix has put up one of my favorite revenge movies ever up for viewing again, "Man On Fire," featuring Denzel at full ferocity in one of Tony Scott's best pics. Seriously, if you're angry at the world, this is the film for your mood now...

We had an OK soda machine in the atrium of my high school for my sophomore and junior year, but by senior year, it was gone and we were all a little less joyous because of it...
Wow I totally forgot about this. If you ever wondered what’s wrong with Gen X, this is us when we were young:)

Hey DNC, if you'd spent half as much time resisting as you do asking me for money, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.
Also, we GAVE you all a mandate with the elections, only for you to cave IMMEDIATELY. Right now, you are a bad investment. I want something BACK for my money.
PROGRESS.

So the new version of The Running Man is a lot closer to the original source material. It's not a bad film; it's just not a great one either. There's plenty of fun moments, and I'm glad I saw it, but it's certainly no "Baby Driver" or "Hot Fuzz." Still, worth seeing once. B-.

60 Minutes is under new management and things are getting stupid faster than you might expect. Last night’s episode featured President Trump, which is currently being described as “nuts.” There are all sorts of crazy moments to call out, but let’s start with the recursively meta nonsense. 60 Minutes edited out a segment where Donald Trump tells them to edit out a segment in which he brags about getting CBS to pay him because of them editing out part of an answer by Kamala Harris, and he notes that CBS clearly did the wrong thing in editing Harris in the same fucking sentence he tells them to edit out what he’s saying.
