My first Star Trek entry to Cinema Daze is the best of the Star Trek films because it is the film that forces Kirk to face his own mortality and the mortality of those he loves.

i don’t play pundit and try to guess how stuff will play to voters whose politics generally make no sense to me, but if ending the shutdown was about the important business of getting SNAP benefits and air travel back online, it also rewards hostage taking in a way that seems pretty ominous to me

My confidence in flying after this weekend's experience has resulted in me committing to driving to Houston this week for Saturday's wedding.
That's where we're at right now.

So... I go to Savannah yesterday just fine, and the shoot went great.
Getting home was a different story.
Long story short - with a stoppage in Atlanta because of weather and everything else - I got to drive a Mustang for the first time ever to do the 5+ hours between Savannah and Birmingham.

So many tradCaths are converts who want to impose a reactionary priesthood of believers on the hierarchy, in which the laity must submit to conservative messaging is obeyed and treat messages as areligious.

Immigration is a central if not primary feature of American Catholicism. For its often-awful flaws, it gave people new to these shores a sense of belonging and dignity in a country frequently determined to deny them both. This is antithetical to nearly two centuries of religious practice.
state of the trad catholic discourse on the other site is debating whether undocumented immigrants should be able to receive the Eucharist if you were wondering how that was going

A great thread about Alabama voting against their self interests because heaven forbid other people might benefit... and an appearance by the People's Jug!
When I'm trying to explain to white people about how their own will willingly shoot themselves in the foot if it means the ricochet will kill us, I tell them the story of Don Seigelman and the Alabama Lottery.

Yeah... Gremlins isn't Gremlins without Joe Dante's touch.
My lukewarm take is that while it's good to have Spielberg and Columbus, you need the edgy chaos that Dante brings to the mix.

I knew Atlanta and George Bush Intercontinental in Houston (The two major airports I'll be dealing with this weekend and next) were going to be on the list, but, yeah, it sucks just waiting for that inevitable notification from Delta regarding "flight changes".
