#BadSanta gets funnier every year for all the bad reasons 😆 incl Billy Bob’s convincing portrayal of alcoholism, which at times feels sickening, but is necessary for the gut-busting kid friendship to happen.
Kudos to screenwriters Glenn Ficarra & John Requa 🏆

A lone robin catches me in its eye,
Unafraid, it does not fly away.
Brave yet small, it warms my heart
On this winter's day.

"The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves."

Keeping a clean conscience though...
And secretly planning a revolution.

Ayyyy got a new review:

"This novel is a serious exploration of identity, of nature vs nurture vs society at large. You can feel how much Cherry loved the Pike brothers through all their struggles."

2026 Military Budgets:

America - $962 billion
China - $300 billion
Russia - $170 billion
Israel - $35 billion
India - $15 billion

Imagine if we used that money to help people instead of blow them up.

Humanity needs a radical readjustment of priorities, sensibilities, and responsibilities.

THIS. Testify at city council committee meetings.
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Monopolies are bad.
We knew that until the 1990s.
But today’s headlines say: Netflix to buy Warner Bros!
They’re only the latest example.

And everyone thought the “all Taco Bell” future in Demolition Man was too campy, eh?
