Not to make light of a horrible situation, but as someone from Kansas's neighbor to the north most people who live in our states try to escape at their first opportunity. There is never a downside to bailing from the great plains.
I need to play RE Requiem but my pc is not in great condition and neither is my bank account
I accidentally reposted a video my partner sent me on instagram and didn't know until they told me about it. Deleted the account out of shame. I thought I was good with technology but now I am on the same level as my 70 year old father.
When I get the chance to do jury duty it's gonna be "I have no opinion" and "Never heard of him before."
yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests
I qualify for employment based health insurance for the first time in my life, meaning I can see a doctor for the first time since the 8th grade. That's 16 years of untreated issues to address. Should be happy but I'm mostly just scared.
A new bill basically recriminalized THCa products with a year deadline to comply and I'm still seeing brand new weed shops open up all over my city.
The Golden Idol games get you hooked on karmic justice!

Delusional
I would opt for Dog Day Afternoon if you wanna see a classic Pacino.
1) WE said "abolish the police." "Defund" was what YOUR guys came up with to oppose us, it was YOUR slogan.
2) "Defund" went from like 3% support to 40% support in under a year. it was an UNBELIEVABLY good slogan
True today, true in 2021, true in 2015, true all the way back to their creation in 2002.
We fucked everything up completely by nominating Joe later that year.
someone please nuke DC
Favorite Bong Joon Ho: still Mother but The Host is almost there on rewatch. (was let down a bit by Mickey 17)
Favorite Spike Lee: Do the Right Thing by a wide margin, then maybe Girl 6 or Jungle Fever. (went from seeing 0 of his films to 11 in a few months)
Favorite 2025 releases: Sinners, Weapons, OBAA, Wake Up Dead Man, Phoenician Scheme
Favorite new (to me) films: Shall We Dance, The Red Shoes, Stray Dog, Mulholland Drive, True Stories
I watched a lot of movies this year.

Last year I got a library card and started reading books again. Most of them were good and some of them were incredible. I hope to read twice as much next year. My Humble 2025 Reading List:
I'm on a medieval fiction kick right now and really enjoyed Between Two Fires!
This year I splurged and got a membership to my theater and saw enough movies to make that fee back three times over. They have incredible taste in selecting which movies to play and for which season. If they ever closed down I would be a disaster. Don't give up on The Movies.
new classics, I love popcorn and I will never stop going to the theater.
Been seeing a lot of talk about how cinema is dead especially with the Netflix WB news. All I have to say is I love going to the movies, I love my local theater, I love the patrons and the staff of my local theater, I love seeing brand new movies, I especially love seeing old classics and -
I really enjoyed this book about illegal fish markets, would recommend if you have a glancing interest.
The gimmick is that parody versions of all the famous detectives across books, film, and tv are invited to a house to solve an unsolvable murder. That's a really good setup and someone should make a movie with it that doesn't suck!
I really wanted to like Murder by Death but quit the movie halfway through. "What if Clue had a worse budget, 50% of the humor is low effort racist jokes, and another 40% mocking the deaf and blind?"
still can't believe the rittenhouse verdict is basically "you can threaten someone with a weapon and if they respond in a way that you don't like just start blasting"
surprisingly, there are less squishy centrists too.
does anyone want to see some paul thomas anderson movies in the theater with me over the next two weeks?

Speaking of people with terrible, bad opinions, Rev. Magdalen is this website's most enthusiastic genocide apologist. Sometimes she posts about other topics and I think it's good to remind everyone she argues with that user Rev. Magdalen is fervently pro-ethnic cleansing.
