Tom Yum Goong 2 is a dip in quality and iirc was delayed due to floods, but still has some good parts and Jeeja. It's got that 2010ish Thai movie look, which if you watched a lot of films from that era you will recognize

I'm remember nothing from Ong Bak 2 and not sure if I ever saw 3

Damn it sounds like then if you want to win you should listen and make sure Newsom is not the nominee. Or are you addicted to losing?

As someone who worked there, the reason CAP isn't trying is because they're not a liberal Heritage Foundation devoted to generational furtherment of liberal ideals. They were a 501c3 dedicated to making Hillary Clinton and possibly her daughter president and they catastrophically failed at it

The very well funded Center for American Progress has been in operation since 2004. The Democrats do not have “nothing” they’re just not trying.

LouFromBoston @loufromboston.bsky.social · 1d

The Republicans have a very well organized think-tank (Heritage Foundation) for strategizing and coordination of messaging. They control what we are seeing day to day.

The Democrats have nothing. No sense of leadership, no direction, no messaging. We need a think-tank asap!!

Yet again thinking about this Ditko cover which remains maybe the most relatable piece of art I’ve ever seen.

The cover of Haunted no. 3 where a titularly haunted guy is running toward the viewer saying, "Why? Why? Why? Why?" While a banner above him says, "You BETTER believe "THIS IS HOW IT IS." And there's a cemetery with a caped goblin and a ghost or something behind him.
