Last night’s viewing, THE RIP (2025). No points for originality but solid enough bad cop action film & always happy to see Afflick/Damon chew the scenery. One quibble & it’s a regular one, why do so many US films ruin things by including an unnecessary extra one or two scenes to wrap everything up?

Utterly hopeless. Don’t deserve to win elections, really.
After demanding ICE and other federal agents be banned from wearing face coverings, Schumer and Jeffries added caveats: "no masks, except in extraordinary and unusual circumstances.” trib.al/tP1jIiF

This is very good.
We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world now. That's what we can't face. It's our world. Where sexual desire for children is protected, victims receive no justice & the President of what used to be called the free world is Jeff's friend. This is Jeff's World now.
