The Running Man (’25, Wright): They should have just done the original ending from the book, it would have been fine.

I think it’s important to remember that these are craven, sad, pathetic people, and that it is a point of pride to not be one of them.

He’s like a Christmas angel, but only for the truly corrupt
President Trump announces that he would pardon Rep. Henry Cuellar, who was indicted last year on bribery and money laundering charges.
Trump says he is pardoning Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, who was indicted on bribery charges
"Henry, I don't know you, but you can sleep well tonight," the president said.

It is crucial that liberals (and their parties) stand in the breach and say frankly that immigration is a tremendous economic benefit for which there is no substitute. The public does not have to like immigration (though it ought to), it just has to prefer it to economic decay.
If it were steel works we would have a government bailout plan, yet losing thousands of jobs at unis is met with a shrug. & unlike steelworks universities were profitable when they had foreign students.
You are killing the golden goose… one of our best exports…

Every sympathy for University of Essex (and pressures facing them) but this is very bad news for Southend.

Gonna guess that between working, having a family, and incessantly watching movies from the 60s-70s that Tarantino simply hasn’t seen many movies from the last 20 years.

I’m flying out of Denver airport, not sure if it’s good or bad that TSA apparently doesn’t set uniform standards for going through security and instead each airport sets their own?

None of this is going to happen short of civil war.
Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

This is a stupid and shortsighted comment, but at least it ends in childish absurdity.

One of the lessons I took from Covid was, when the question is “Does [unexplained phenomena] exist or are people just idiots”, always bet on the latter

Literally every law or invention that exists to prevent people from being accidentally or intentionally killed by the natural or built environment is going to be on the chopping block for these people, because they are a death cult who worship the idea of death and want to kill you

“Last person he talked to” theory holding up
NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
