Kill Bill, probably dozens of times. And seeing The Whole Bloody Affair was still a revelation. It’s rare that I’ll ever say this about a four-hour film but there’s not a wasted frame. Even the cues that were moved feel just as right in their new homes even though they should feel out of place.
Movie you watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, Marvel, Disney animated or Pixar.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

There is no advantage too big that the Democrats won't find a way to waste, no lead they won't find a way to squander.
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."
