My prayers always go out for people in the military who are about to get killed in battle for no good reason whatsoever.

Japan plays video games so much it makes the USA look Amish by comparison, but no mass shootings because they don’t sell anything to mass shoot with.

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

So many adaptations of HG Wells over the years. And the first step for adapting HG Wells, for studio heads, was always: Take out all the socialist and anti-imperialist rhetoric. And there was always a lot of that. #svengoolie

Real actual trade agreements are a damn sight longer than 250 pages. The trade agreement from Trump’s first term was over 1000 pages. Real trade agreements have to be complicated! Because trade is complicated!!

We were watching the movie on DVD. I made sure to pause it on the real Jim Lovell’s cameo at the end. “He didn’t just survive Apollo 13. He lived long enough to do a cameo in a movie about it!” I said. My son thought the whole idea of doing a cameo in a movie about yourself was really cool!
JCH (@crossland68.bsky.social) reply parent
Although…I watched the movie with my son when he was about 10. When the movie was half over he asked: Him: So this is a true story? Me: Yep, sure is. Him: (worried) Are they going to be okay? I opted for a spoiler and told him yes, this is a story about how they got back safe.
JCH (@crossland68.bsky.social) reply parent
If you can, find the DVD. Jim and Marilyn Lovell did a commentary track and talked about the events in the film. And it’s great. They’re funny and insightful. Marilyn says her wedding ring really did fall off in the shower that day. But reassures us that a plumber got it back for her. Whew!

In 1993 I was in college. Saw an episode of X-Files. Wondered who that amazing actor was who played the arsonist! IMDb back then sometimes took months to update for new shows. I emailed Fox. They replied to me two days later! Told me it was Mark Sheppard. www.imdb.com/name/nm07919...

I knew there was going to be a January 6th protest. My prediction at the time was the crowd would rush the capitol and would be met by a wall of law enforcement. I was picturing a cloud of tear gas, mass arrests. Maybe beatings. And MAGA would claim oppression. Not so much.
