that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 11h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

My Dinner With Andre movie review (1981) | Roger Ebert

Someone asked me the other day if I could name a movie that was entirely devoid of clichés. I thought for a moment, and then answered, “My Dinner With Andre.”

Working on a playlist for soundalike pop and rock, like Fontella Bass' "Rescue Me" sounding a hell of a lot like Aretha Franklin, or "On the Dark Side" by John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown band. So far:

Rescue Me
TCB or TYA / Bobby Patterson
On the Dark Side
Baby, I Love You / Andy Kim

Streaming Daylight Vampires vs. Godzilla

“Dracula Untold” does its damndest to pull off day for night. “V for Vengeance” has vampires who ignore any rules

The 1st Godzilla reboot/sequel is so good, only Reagan era politics can smudge it

I started AEW after 8 pm CDT, so it concluded with less than 90 minutes left in the day to watch something spooky. My plan was watch to “Devil Hunter Yohko 6” on VHS. Once I got the tape deck going on a no composite TV, my horror streak was broken. 10 minutes was all I missed by. #filmsky #moviesky

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

These hearings are just political theater to this Administration. She knows she doesn’t have to answer questions. Just go in there and act like a bully because she knows the Republicans will protect her like they protect child rapist.

AEW has a working relationship with CMLL. They did not buy this Mexican wrestling promotion. One half of the World Tag Team Champions is Mexican. The other half wears/sells Abolish Ice t-shirt. Chris Jericho is not around to promote Trump. @allelitewrestling.com does not need hate money from ICE ads

The original version of Cat People introduced the concept of "The Jump Scare" to cinema - unless you count that monstrous effing bird in Citizen Kane that always manages to terrify the Bejezus out of me far more than any edgelord Torture Porn horror films out there.
