Clean, elegant, human design. I ain't no expert but there's something timeless and beautiful about that.

and the shame continues to this anniversary day
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson really is incapable of running any aspect of government

He put out a statement blaming Democrats (somehow) and saying he cannot put up the plaque honoring Jan 6th defenders of the Capitol building…

because reasons

Can we flood _every_ GOP phone,

especially Mike’s?
A Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement at the Capitol. Its whereabouts are unknown
Some 100 members of Congress, mostly Democrats, have mounted poster board-style replicas of the Jan. 6 plaque outside their office doors.

I for one am not in support of the series adding 2-3 new characters every movie. Pretty soon the Toy Story universe is just gonna be "now, who were you again?"

Wear and tear does not seem to be a thing in the Toy Story universe. Forky would have lasted 5 minutes in real life.

Warehouse was a Southern California thing, right? (I don't recall seeing it anywhere else). Also famously the site of where Depeche Mode signed records right before their Rose Bowl concert and caused a riot.

Oh shoot, did it have an awkwardly fused name like Personics?

There's actually (somewhere) an interesting story to be told about John Madden and I am positive David O. Russell will neither find it nor even go looking for it.

That's definitely one very accurate way of putting it. I'd add that his latter movies (Say post 3 Kings) seem to be way more about the fact he made it than the movie itself saying anything.

Dude, I dig this so much. I got no place for such pieces in my squat but thrilled to death they exist
