The most tragic form of loss
isn't the loss of security.
It's the loss of the capacity
to imagine that things
could be different.

Studios sought to put asses back in theater seats in the 1950s, presenting films through widescreen & big-approach methods, such as Cinemascope, VistaVision & Cinerama. Big production and spectacle films were perfect for this, of course.

Incredibly,
Greatest Show On Earth won best picture in 1952🤯

Tomorrow on Instant Classics (tinyurl.com/4s6vr4vp) we're looking at the long and complicated history of the toga. You'll never look on a toga party in thesame way again. That's FDR having a toga birthday party.

This guy is such a dumb dipshit. How do you have “plenary authority” when you are using authority under power delegated by a statute (which you just cited) that contains specific conditions and limitations?? I am guessing he realized how idiotic he sounded the minute it came out of his mouth

Miller oopsie doodled and said the quiet part out loud, talking about DT aka himself having “plenary authority”:

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations

Remember the Pam Bondi dynamic: for two decades she's had the "well we have to book SOMEBODY, even that idiot Bondi" role in cable news. Now she has stature and professional hair colorists and ad libs written for her.

She's in Pam Bondi heaven and will do or say anything to stay there

How did Netanyahu let this attack happen? He was warned by 2 soldiers. Israel’s Mossad Agents are among the best in the world. Israel has an army. Where were they on Oct 7? Why did Israelis have to face the horrific suffering, rapes, deaths, kidnappings for so many hours- where was the army?

Do we need to split the MMR vaccine into 3 shots?

No.

-No medical reason. Current vax has no safety issues and works very well
-Kids don’t like needles. Why give them 3x the shots?
-Peds office already have limited bandwidth. Who staffs 3x the visits?

Another nonsensical, unserious “policy”

Although border czar Tom Homan has repeatedly said he recused himself from any “involvement, discussion, input, or decision of any future government contracts,” ProPublica obtained records showing he has had at least some involvement in contracting conversations.

1️⃣ day you're 👆
The next day you're 👇
You can't face the 🌍
w/ your head to the ground

So don't worry, boys
Life will be sweet someday
We made enough mistakes
But you know
We got what it takes
Oh we ain't got...

The trail that he blazed is still there
No one has come since
to replace his name
& those with too ready a trigger
Forgot to figure
on his lightning cane
Now in the legend of the west
One name stands out of all the rest
The man who had the fastest gun
His name was
