We have money to drop bombs on Iran (which has less than 30% support), but no money for health care, family leave, homelessness, child care, education, climate change, low-income assistance programs, free school lunch, universal pre-K, and the Postal Service (which a majority of us support).

Gee, I wonder what kind of thing might sway King TinyHands' favor?
Cash?
Gold?
Crypto?
Renaming DFW?
Renaming the Cowboys' stadium?
The actual Dallas Cowboys?

The President called Democrats 'crazy' during the State of the Union but yeah it's the left that needs to pump the brakes on the contempt rhetoric.

Reagan cut the top tax bracket's rate from 70% to 28% in the 1980s.

In 2010, SCOTUS decided in Citizens United v. FEC that rich people and corps could give unlimited money to politicians via SuperPACs.

In 2024, 7 billionaires gave over $1B to the GOP... and $1500 to Dems.

This is the only Coen Bros film I haven't seen. Seen the rest of their films many times over.

I don't know how to explain it, other than as long as it stays unwatched there's a "new" Coen Bros film out there that I still need to watch.

It's the scene in 2001 when HAL pleads "What are you doing, Dave? Stop, Dave." while Dave slowly kills him, but we've made it so it's HAL that is slowly killing us.

This Noah Wyle moment from #ThePitt feels like it should be added into the reaction gif lexicon.

Saw a sneak preview just before a school trip to Paris. My friends and I kept doing β€œif this Metro train/Eiffel Tower elevator/baguette drops below 50….” jokes.

Then we saw the papers that OJ’s white Bronco was doing a different kind of speed back home.

I’ve had a full stage musical built around this album in my head for decades but I can’t get hold of Sturmer or Manning to get their permission to develop it. Went back and forth with BMG for months to no avail.

LOVE this album.

And just remembered another Development Exec telling me that the director at the top of their company didn't read scripts but had text-to-speech read the PDFs to them in the car.

I wanted to scream but just nodded and said, "Really? That's cool."

A producer once told me about a studio executive that never read the scripts, just read coverage and met with the writers to make decisions. She was horrified, like "most of the writers I meet are awkward as hell in real life but their scripts are brilliant!"

I assume the NOT DANGEROUS was to assure people it wasn't nitrate film that could burn their houses down?

I remember saying "oh my god" out loud when this moment happened the first time I watched.
