Also a fantastic film.

Wait... I thought that ***I*** was the antichrist. I mean, the 666 birthmark and (cat) minions of hell at my command. Well, not command really, but they do live here... And we share the furniture!!

Army commercial: We do more before 8 am than most people do all day.

Me: There's a BEFORE 8 am?!?

Oh man... They gave it to a woman. A woman of colour. A woman of colour who deserved it. Trump will be livid.

Damn... my sister worked at a Chi Chi's like 40 years ago!

So has there ever been anyone who has bitched and moaned and begged and talked and cajoled and demanded and got sycophantic underlings to talk, talk, talk about how much they absolutely deserve and should immediately be given the Nobel Peace Prize?!?

FFS. I guess "play it cool" isn't his bag.

Wow. Just... wow.

I genuinely liked him in "Requiem for a Dream" which seems like it was a long time ago (25 years to be exact) -- before he became whatever brand of obnoxious douche he seems to have settled on being.

I lived in "Brizzle" from 2002-2007 (I worked at Bristol Uni & my oldest son was born there). Looks like the waterfront rejuvenation projects that were started back then are going really nicely.

When I was young it always amazed me that there were conservatives my age. University years (i.e., my 20s), same thing. My 30s, same thing. My 40s, still somewhat surprised. Now in my 50s, I'm not surprised anymore... But I definitely don't like it.

Matt Crawford @mattalica1972.bsky.social · 2d

Except, somehow, even dumber.

Yup, all those Yanks, Canucks, Brits, Frenchies, Soviets, Kiwis, Aussies, and all the other many many Allies who fought and/or died fighting the Axis in WWII were, in fact, ANTIFA.

How soon some forget that "fascism bad" because there was a time when most of the world was united as ANTIFA.

There is definitely a reason that the good ol' boys from TEXAS got sent to Chicago. Many of them want a race war and will be happy to shoot Black Northerners and claim they were defending themselves.

So... This must benefit Russia in some way? Tuckface has been more of a friend to Putin than Trump for a while now.

Matt Crawford @mattalica1972.bsky.social · 2d

Sure, sure, "condensation" --- like that's even a thing!!!

Man, these people are dumber than a bag of hammers... Bless their hearts. Bless all their hearts.

Yeah, I have an album or two that exist in my library as reminders of someone important who is no longer with us.

Matt Crawford @mattalica1972.bsky.social · 2d

I have all of their albums digitally, but I always found they ended up sounding so samey-samey over time. Nothing ever stood out to me. The last couple of albums have been ok. Except that Dave is relatively right-wing at this point - and that Ice-T bit on that one song was cringe as fuck.

Matt Crawford @mattalica1972.bsky.social · 2d

I was just thinking this morning that I rarely give Megadeth the credit they deserve with the run of albums "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?," So Far, So Good... So What!," and "Rust in Peace."

I didn't really follow them much after Countdown to Extinction (it was ok) and Youthanasia (bleh)

Lyrics could use a little work, but solid 9/10 overall. Performance really bolstered by the dedication to the zero fucks he had available to give.
You know what?

“[Antifa] are just as sophisticated as MS-13, as Tren de Aragua, as Isis, as Hezbollah, as Hamas, as all of them, they are just as dangerous. They have an agenda to destroy us, just like the other terrorists we’ve dealt with for many, many years.”

Americans were mortified by the level of vitriol and glee that the death of Margaret Thatcher brought out in so many Brits because there is a deeply rooted American norm of "not pissing on the memory" of someone who has died... seemingly no matter how horrible they were.

Imagine knowing – being absolutely sure – that when you die, 65 or 70% of the country and the world will celebrate your death like nothing they've ever celebrated anything before.
