Filmmaker, camera nerd, friend to animals and the elderly. I drive/love weird cars because life is too short to roll around in a Camry.
I love how they simply pretended that the Photoshop clarity slider didn't exist and that the spot removal tool was in fact NOT a thing.
Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.

Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

Me and my son's premiums will go from $550 a month to close to $800.
MIKE JOHNSON: Here's the false narrative -- Democrats are pretending as though this affects everybody in the country. It affects 7% of Americans, this extended subsidy

CNBC: But we are talking 22 to 24 million Americans

JOHNSON: We're going to help 100% of Americans reduce their premiums

Yall thought Falluja was bad?

This is an aerial view of the massive Petare neighborhood, in Caracas.

There are no maps, GPS is of no help, and the police don’t dare to enter.

It would be certain death for American boots on the ground.

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

“We need you to set up 30 cameras so they can learn how to do your job.”

A real thing a producer told me to do about a month ago.
It's a really special feeling listening to someone at work telling you they're doing everything they can to automate your job with AI

It oddly feels like they expect you to marvel and be grateful (??) but everyone knows they're only doing it to let you go

The moment Shaq shows up on my TV trying to sell me health insurance...
Scalise: "Everybody complains, 'Why when I watch TV do I see this Gecko lizard & emu & all these animals out there selling car insurance & homeowners insurance? Why aren't they selling healthcare?' That's bc federal laws prohibit people to have choices for lower cost products for health insurance"

Today would be an amazing day to release the Epstein files.

Also because it's required by a court of law.

It’s like these people think none of us have eyes or ears.
CNBC: Susie Wiles said in Vanity Fair that Trump has "an alcoholic's personality" and JD Vance "has been a conspiracy theorist for a decade"

SCALISE: He's the hardest working president. He doesn't even drink alcohol, so not sure what that quote is related to. He never stops working.
