Bring Her Back (HBO) is truly the most "what the hell did I just watch" movie I've seen in a while. Bloody and tense with a CW for violence against children. A solid performance by newbie Sora Wong.

No. Hegseth never said "base," he said "facility," and it already exists.

It doesn't actually sound like we're building ANYTHING just allowing them to continue using our facilities for training, which happens a lot to my understanding. So maybe Hegseth doesn't know WTF he's talking about?

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

My 14 yo really wants this $210 pair of jeans. I told him he & his friends should chip in, buy them together & take turns wearing them. "You can be the brotherhood of the smiling pants."
He did not appreciate the reference.

Netflix’s ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ Forgives the Unforgivable

The good news about Monster: The Ed Gein Story is that Ryan Murphy barely had anything to do with the writing and directing of it. Max Winkler (son of Fonzi) keeps the story on track for the most part, and... Read more...

The trailer for Deathstalker made me question what year it is. Director Steven Kostanski (Psycho Goreman) doesn't seem to have strayed very far from Roger Corman's aesthetic in the 1983 original. And the star, Swiss actor Daniel Bernhardt, bears a... Read more...

Fire all of them. Primary every single one. If now is not the time to be "alarmist" when is?!
Feckless, lazy & power hungry.

“I asked Chris Murphy if he privately talks to Dem colleagues about why they don't sound the alarm loudly. His answers were depressing. Dems tell him they don't want to be ‘alarmist’…”

Well, that explains a lot.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 8d

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

"If I give in and consent to these kinds of tactics then it just normalizes it all." 1/

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Running on Empty is on TCM & I'm reminded of how sincerely goofy and charming River Phoenix was as an actor. I had such a crush on him. He'll always be perfect.
