if you joined ICE I don't think you just get to melt back into society ever again. I think it should be the albatross around your neck for the rest of your life. I sure as hell won't hire anyone who worked for ICE. hope that signing bonus lasts

This is correct. ICE is there in the first place because of an evidence-free racist conspiracy theory promoted by a 23 Year old YouTube propagandist. They manufacture pretext.

β€œRenee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” she said. β€œShe was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

β€œRenee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” she said. β€œShe was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago.

The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Right after RenΓ©e Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

now is not the time to ban phones why Jonathan Haidt sucks

"Why not fine the companies for endangering kids or create new rules they have to follow? Why not introduce competition into a monopolized market space? Why not put consumer safety standards on the algorithms, the software, the devices themselves?"

Pom Klementieff wearing the Train Robber Silhouette on the train in Dead Reckoning: dark collared shirt (maybe plaid?), black belt, dark slacks, black duster. looks especially good when she's running on top of the train.

Pom's fit during the train sequence in Dead Reckoning feels very Henry Fonda in Once Upon a Time in the West imho

my barbie review https://boxd.it/4yTz91
my oppenheimer review https://boxd.it/4yWnSf

overall: mixed/positive about both. similar misgivings. both represent the admirable effort of auteurs whose best strengths are, i think, not as well-suited to these particular projects as they might be elsewhere.

Holiday (1938): Holiday, Oh, Holiday (And the Best One of the Year) 'Holiday' was neither the first nor last Hepburn and Grant pairing, but here it feels as if they’re inventing a new type of relationship, one marked not only by fizzling flirtation or witty repartee...

"George Cukor's HOLIDAY was neither the first nor last Hepburn/Grant pairing, but here it feels as if they're inventing a new type of relationshipβ€”one marked not only by flirtation or witty repartee, but also deeply infused with loss."
