I mean, has he looked at his own face?
Wanting to live is divisive to people who wish me dead. Such a conundrum!
The problem is, though the double looks and sounds like Trump, he keeps making sense, giving the game away. It takes years of practice to be so incoherent
Ingrid Bergman was born on this day in 1915. She also died on August 29th - in 1982. 📷 David Seymour, 1953 "Love would come right through that lens." - Pia Lindstrom

I got an NYT push alert about Taylor Swift getting engaged, but not about the United States spying on Greenland

I don't know, they seem very much like the British royals.
It's a Facebook post, and it is very deliberate humor
Letterboxd says currently five films from the 60s on Peacock, and two of them are TV. Nothing before '66. (That data is definitely not 100% reliable - their data source is often wrong here and there.)
People who are guilty of sexual exploitation just want to move on, and he agrees the victims should let them, for obvious reasons
Yeah, true crime seems more interested in the crimes than the investigation. Not always, and how they get caught is definitely covered, but a lot of focus on the criminals and their acts. More monster stories than mysteries.
The whole response and alarmism about crime is based on 1980s crime. It hasn't evolved. Trump since the 80s has been pushing for an aggressive response to 80s crime, and it doesn't matter if the world changed - Trump's taste for busting heads remains the same
It doesn't even pass the minimal knowledge of Schoolhouse Rock, intended for children.
Skinhead racists were likewise failed. But we still say what they are. Sure, the media and cultural environment must be held responsible, and things are very bad there, but he is a grown up man now and still palling around with violent extremists.
Four out of five sex traffickers agree, Trump did nothing wrong. ( The fifth died mysteriously in jail.)
Mayor McCheese is the clear front runner. None of the others has cheese, and everybody loves cheese. He'll need to pick his VP to cater to the lactose intolerant
The only thing I've ever learned in a discussion with Nazis is, "Oh, these people really still exist." I learned that in the early 90s on Usenet, and I certainly don't need to keep relearning it.

If you had told me 30 years ago that Michael Luttig and Bill Kristol would have a clearer understanding about what's going on than a lot of Democratic leaders, I'd have wondered whether you tried the brown acid.
Yeah. "My core political value is selfishness, but also, I don't want people to not be selfish to me" is quite a boast. It's just "me, me, me" all the way down.
It's a basic fact for them: if it is change liberals are not complaining about, it is too woke. Evidence beyond that is not needed, they'll make things up if they need to.
Also, lots of future people will hate pronouns, for some reason.
But it is not like we need AI for our culture to reinvent the same stories over and over again
Pitch: A TV version of Sartre's No Exit, but set on an island, and funny!
"The markets are rational," they tell us in class
The questionable part is the why/how he was released. All that might be true, or it might be just some made-up fantasy
Yeah, it is the Dem equivalent to the right wing love of "owning the libs." But owning Trump is relatively easy, once you get his attention.
I wouldn't put it past them that they did this to own the libs, where Europe is the libs.
Criterion Channel just added a pair of films to my "Continue Watching" feed that I never started watching. They don't register as started, either. One is at least related to a film I watched - I watched Toby Dammit and it added the full film that Dammit is just one part of. #filmsky #filmsky
I agree with the diagnosis, but wish this was more than an image, so I could see the source of this information.
Obviously, a Bartok fan.
This was the excuse his wife gave him for their child having different racial characteristics than him.

And one with a long tradition of requiring the humanities, particularly the classics.

I remember reading a 90s article about Mark McGwire talking about how he turned around his game. He mentioned therapy(!) and a supplement (creatin?) I knew most men who read this would skip the first part. Of course, McGwire was using an even stronger and illegal short cut
White people's fear of carjacking is way or of proportion to the actual risk. In my lifetime, the two most famous "victims" were lying to hide their complicity in murder. (They assumed it would work, because they believed it was the kind of crime that happens every day.)
As the tweet says, this isn’t a cash strapped regional school that needs to focus on career oriented majors to attract dollars and students. It’s one of the premier universities in the country.
That longer title at least sounds distinctive. It implies something vaguely mystical. To my ear, it feels like it might be religious in theme, not sure why. Maybe that is why they didn't translate that
I barely remember the ending of Beyond, because my memory is of the chaos. I vaguely recall the chaos falling away and it becoming mostly about a potential love story? It feels like trying to remember the plot of a Marx Brothers movie, though
I put River on my watch list months before watching, and it stayed there, because I saw the title, remembered adding it, but not knowing why, and guessing it was some kind of family drama. Maybe like an Ozu film. I saw the Beyond... title and tried it within days
It is definitely more mature. Beyond... is basically farce. But I've also just heard so many people talk about Beyond..., perhaps because the title inspires more people to give it a try. (River is a terrible title.) "What was that time loop movie I read about last week?"
I loved this. It is by the same folks as the delirious time travel film, Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes, which is related in the tiny amount of time involved
Including Ryan. Ryan long proposed a VAT. www.internationaltaxreview.com/article/2a68...
In the end, we have to assume there is a rationale, and the most obvious one is to virtually raise a sales tax. Some conservatives have, for as long as I can remember, proposed replacing income tax with a national sales tax. Tarriffs are a backdoor national sales tax.
"Also, why won't women date conservatives?"
Or, he understands that it will be a tax increase on average folks without calling it a tax.
The weird thing is how bad so many politicians are at Trump-style bullying bs. It's sickening to see the attempt, but it is also pathetic.
"Why won't women date conservatives?"
I was recently reminded of this, the memory-holed corner of Schoolhouse Rock from my childhood. youtu.be/Bs2w4lwQRtc?...
I was confused, because there is no "Browse" on iPad. It is called "Search" there. The iPhone version has no text displayed, but the icon is the magnifying lens which usually means "Search," not "Browse."
Ummm, what? Blocked real soon
#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Three Isabelle Huppert films.
I don't put anything as impossible for creepy cis men, but it does seem to be defending against a low probability event and ignoring all the ordinary creepiness.
Why is that unlikely?
I saw this when it came out due to a bad review that called it a "demented cuckoo clock of a film." I had to see that.
This is Michael’s clearance sale level tacky.
Yeah, I've often been surprised the capitalism-touting party would do blatantly side with a transparently corrupt con artist. In my youth, they at least pretended people got rich via honest hard work.
As a coder, I don't see how this is possible. Maybe you can convince us by releasing the code, which should be public anyway?
US "capitalism" is being remade in Trump's image right before our eyes: everybody scamming everybody else. This was always part of US capitalism - how much I won't guess - but now it is the out in the open and dominant at the top.
Isn't that successfully like Elon Musk?
Why would he start making sense now?
He was always conservative - he became nuts after 9/11. I realized he was conservative in the 90s when I saw The Edge. The script is one that Ayn Rand would blush at. His friends ostracized him for going nuts.
For the most productivity, be sure to set exacting boundaries for your wife and/or kids.
This is a grievous error.
Ewwww.
Damn straight! They are Arabic numerals, after all. We only need one digit in America, the middle digit on our hands.
Given that he bragged recently about cutting drug price 1500%, apparently math hasn't been to the office in a while
Trump claims he’s cut drug prices by “1,500 percent”
Remember all of those hefty handouts Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski won in exchange for sealing the deal on Donald Trump’s behemoth budget bill? It looks like the president has found a way to get out of delivering. “I feel cheated." https://trib.al/3ymBhJU
The general reaction of capitalists to the fact that their chosen leaders are overtly scam artists has made me wonder how much of our economy is based on scamming

I hate quoting a post on request, but not more than I hate the manosphere.

Indeed, I'd bet outrage at the ad is in part because it feels like a lighthearted joke supporting or just neutrally referencing, Trump's racism, treating that racism without the seriousness it deserves.
But you said weirdos who are outraged by the ad, and **not** outraged by Trump. I have seen no evidence such people exist.
This comment is very confusing. Are the weirdos Fox News? If so, they are not outraged at the puns. Are they the folk outraged by the pun? Then they are certainly outraged by Trump's racist talk of "good genes." Just very confused.
Any actual decision-makers? This is called "nut-picking," because both sides have extreme and even insane members, but on one side, the nuts are running the show. And disliking the ad is different from wanting to cancel the ad's star. I dislike it. I'd boycott the company, but I'm not a customer
I'd add that Fox News will take any opportunity to show hot white chicks. They love being outraged by some new sexy spring break trend, for example. If there isn't any such trend, they'll likely make one up.
There's a vague notion here that the media doesn't make a choice on what outrage to promote. They definitely do. There is a significant branch of media which only reports the latest fake conservative outrage. This is not because Dems are bad at it and Reps good.
Motherfucking wind farms…
Here in MA it is called the RMV (for Registry,) but the texts still say DMV.
And, maybe more importantly, rich people of many many persuasions. The consultants heavily depend on contacts with lots of money. That's why they are centrists.

It's a request for persistent pestering with the same question, right?
"... he will have to ..." do nothing, because the press have completely abandoned all press oversight of ethical and legal behavior. What exactly does he have to fear? Why does he have any ethical bounds whatsoever except the ones we can enforce?
"... he will have to ..." do nothing, because the press have completely abandoned all press oversight of ethical and legal behavior. What exactly does he have to fear?
And the Congress entirely abandoned oversight on those appointments
New York Times, counting on your memory getting wiped every 24 hours.
I think everyone should be talking about lot more about how it’s clear the Epstein stuff is a palace coup with JD Vance trying to take over and how Trump had better be careful because they’re trying to fool him. This message should get to him a lot.
The thing is, in the last administration, he had some relatively normal people who would say, "Nt gonna do that," but the freaks there now were chosen because they'll act on every whim he has.
I wasn't a kid, I was an undergrad in a convenience store (Store 24 on Elm St, New Haven) when I heard the radio. I asked the cashier whether it was the flight with the school teacher, and he nodded sadly.
I hear they've fixed this in the new release, Thumb 3.0, if you can afford the upgrade
I've only ever seen her do that in response to attacks accusing her of carrying water for Garland/Trump/etc. But I haven't seen all her exchanges. This, on the other hand, is arguing that she is not an expert because of a degree somewhere else. An attempt at an argument, which is an ad hominem.
Some of 'em get it, and when their ministers quote Jesus at them, they complain bitterly.
