I dream of universal open access.
To this day my fav moment working in a movie theater was when a dad stormed out of the theater during trailers absolutely furious that a (sanitized) Spaceballs trailer played before a family film: “HOW am I supposed to explain Pizza the Hut to my daughter, she’s going to have nightmares for WEEKS!!”

This is an incredible read
Hey, so, I don’t do civil litigation, is it generally considered good when the judge does this?

Sorry, is the “On This Day…1776” thing so fake that it doesn’t even have an IMDb entry??

Cool, thanks, I’m avoiding everything from Aranofsky like the plague (as if I wasn’t already)

Why are the trying to AVOID the shutdown, it’s literally their main leverage
Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams

There are *already* standards on much of this.

The issue is DHS isn't following them!

Maybe it’s because what this describes as “post sci-fi” IS my sci-fi but I don’t really get how what it’s describing is a problem—other than the general problems of quality, who gets published etc, that we are seeing across literary landscapes, what’s the real complaint? Kind of a non-issue

Kind of hilarious that they’re just admitting to being autistic. Yeah bud, it’s hard when you get overstimulated, isn’t it?
Whistles are now WMDs, according to the "high IQ" crowd.

I’ve seen a million movie/TV versions of Pride & Prejudice but only reading the book now

Sorry, hating on Geese too hard is loser behavior. Not caring/paying attention to them is fine but being a 40 y/o who feels threatened by them for some reason and won’t shut up about is just embarrassing

Geese is a very beautiful band

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

If any Democrat in the Senate votes to fund ICE, they are voting for the summary execution of American citizens. It’s really that simple.
Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.

Where are all the “I have guns for when the government comes for me” ppl rn—it’s your time to shine. Or are you too busy kidnapping people yourself and shooting those you claimed had the right to arm themselves?
