When I took Husb to see Mad Max: Fury Road by dragging him to the last theatre playing it in London just after he got off the Eurostar. When the film pans over the entire War Party, Husb turned to me and whispered "this film is awesome!" I said "just wait!"
Then the guitar flamethrower happened.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life
ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.
not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.

Everything about Jordan Walsh has been a surprise, but maybe the most surprising thing is that he can dribble. Normally his archetype are a disaster when they put it on the floor. They’re sloppy and make bad decisions and turn it over. Walsh isn’t a PG or anything, but he’s capable with the ball!

I’d wager a kidney that the typical millionaire/billionaire who takes advantage Trump’s gold card grift is far, far more likely to extract money from taxpayers through corruption/corporate welfare than the undocumented, low-skill workers they falsely accuse of leeching public benefits.

I asked ESPN Research and they asked Elias Sports Bureau and they looked back as far as they could (to 1978) and it would appear Jalen Hurts is the first player to ever commit two turnovers in one play. Isn't history beautiful?

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
