Normally my default reaction to a live-action movie of a classic cartoon TV series would be largely pessimistic, but I actually think Jim Carrey would CRUSH IT as George Jetson in a live-action Jetsons movie. www.ign.com/articles/jim...

Jim Carrey in Talks to Star in The Jetsons Live-Action Movie - IGN

Jim Carrey is reportedly in talks to star in Warner Bros.’ live-action movie adaptation of the 1960s animated TV series The Jetsons, which Jurassic World’s Colin Trevorrow is in line to direct.

SCOTUS looks ready to erase another key piece of the Voting Rights Act, this time by striking down Louisiana’s Black-majority district for “relying too much on race.” Let me translate…they’re opening the door for states to erase Black and Latino districts that usually vote blue.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone

• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

They're not even trying to hide it. Gone are the days in which these views were couched in doublespeak. The racism is on shameless, full display in the most powerful rooms in the federal government.

Visit the beautiful United States, see the lovli lakes and magnificent moose.

And get kidnapped, confined, tortured, and sold into slavery.

The tourist advertising all but writes itself.

Pam Bondi will soon find herself impeached and stripped of her law license. That’s the best outcome for her behaviour, she should be placed behind bars.
