The Bride! - Memphis Flyer Jesse Buckley and Christian Bale are monsters on a journey of mayhem in Maggie Gyllanhaal's wild ride.

Is THE BRIDE! a good movie? I don’t know. Is it entertaining? As hell!

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Pictured is "After hours Geordi La Forge." He's wearing a velvety cushy soft looking future space guy sweater and he's ready to chillax to the max. Also and always wearing his banana clip looking eye visor. Closed caption reads, "Maybe a little soft jazz."

Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok (Long Video Version) 1984 YouTube video by Ingo Schmit

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

Not much between despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company

I can feel the Devil walking next to me

it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it

At times like these it always helps to read some William Butler Yeats

Yes, and this is a good thing for the Republican fascists. It’s another decade of fearmongering, inflated defense budgets, and excuses to jail and repress their domestic enemies.

I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say β€œ@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from

Not ironic at all! This set of circumstances was the entire point of destroying the domestic EV industry. Forcing people into buying expensive fossil fuels is a feature, not a bug.

No it won’t. At $150 a barrel, the Permian Basin frackers in America will be rolling in cash.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

And I looked, and behold a pale sludge: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

The American King Goes to War This is not what the Founders intended.

The constitution's design does not grant the president a kinglike ability to take the country to war by himself, lest he do so for self-serving reasons. That is the entire purpose of dividing that authority between POTUS and Congress. Guess what just happened? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

Trump isn't offering any justification for attacking Iran because he doesn't need to.
There is no authority out there waiting to stop him if they don't like the answer.
His answers are just trolling, to give the hacks something to talk about.

Why a Democratic Congressman Is Supporting Trump’s War with Iran Representative Greg Landsman explains his hope that the conflict remains limited but also creates an entirely new Middle East.

If my assistant told me that Isaac Chotiner was on line 1, waiting to talk to me, I would do the sensible thing & grab my go-bag with loose cash & fake passports & make for the border.
