Do they not know about Harbor Freight?

I don't know how much lead time you have, but there's probably a graphic artist on Bluesky that could work up an adorable mashup for you relatively cheap and suitable for framing.

I'm sure Bovino has notified his superiors that he has damning evidence and communications squirreled away for mutually assured destruction if they even think of not backing him. If he's going to jail, it'll have to happen after Trump.

Looks like the race just opened up for the MyPillow guy <snort>

Not seeing a lot of conservatives quoting the Founding Fathers these days.

I do agree that the puppet episode of Angel was insanely good, and that s5 in general had an embarrassment of riches especially with cast and crew coming over from Firefly. It could have easily gone another 5 seasons.

Hard disagree. Whedon did a masterful job weaving the major plot threads and show history into an episode that encapsulated the essence of musicals where the characters have so much to express that mere speech isn’t enough.
Unfortunately it led to a crap ton of bad musical episodes from other shows.

Trying to remember the last time I went to a non-kids movie with an actual GROUP vs one or two friends. Do people over the age of 30 still do that? I’d normally put it on me being me but parent vs childless and changing movie trends have to be factors too.

Paranoid me is trying not to think he’s laying the groundwork for the destruction of those jobs on behalf of his tech bros.

Looks like Elfman is in the music video of the song they performed along with Winona Ryder, and according to YouTube I'm the 8,400,001st person to 'discover' this. Go ahead and take my Gen X card now, it's in my overstuffed trifold wallet next to my Blockbuster membership.

Megatron would be smarter than that, but I wouldn’t put it past Cobra Commander.

Grandparents and great uncles on my mother’s side immigrated from New Brunswick CA. Might be a fun project to see if I can document it for the kids.

Somewhere in the White House there’s a Nobel Prize medal on top of a pile of McDonalds Quarter Pounder wrappers and ketchup packets.

Remember that every dollar grifted from conservatives is one less dollar that goes to conservative causes. Go, Eric, Go!

They may do it like they do with conservative books...giving the movie tickets away as part of the package for a convention or something similar, and those count as sales. So many conservative books have hit the New York Times bestseller lists that way.

I read a post the other day about how we're still screwed over the stuff Reagan did, and it feels like Trump is doing that level of damage. Generational.
