THE BURBS
My brain lives in dichotomy... I don't know whether to be repelled or turned on by that picture.
In the 70s, cocaine made you dance all night. In the 80s, it made you dump a million in junk bonds before lunch.
Rapists. Wait... was that a rhetorical question?
Dollar for donuts... I bet it's going to be a family on vacation and not a single drug trafficker among them.
Bully children because you're a shitty adult.
'nuff said youtu.be/ppYMKMuDp58?...
Corporate Media: Yes!
Kansas is always up to shit like this. Each time it comes back to bite them in the ass. I'm all in for the Kansas FAFO movement.
Careful! She may draft a sternly worded social-media post.
That sly smile. It's either a smirk to say, "Ha! You have to work," or "That's my human."
I try my best not to do guilt by association, but if you break bread with genocidal shitbags, I'm going to reconsider that position.
Drop an old person you’re going to turn into in the future. I already bring books when I go out.
Bless your heart.
Everyone is gonna die!
INFRASTRUCTURE WEEK!
"There are some in the conservative culture who believe the truth doesn't need to be exposed." -- something that was just said during a documentary my Oldest was watching (about sex abuse in the church)
There are times when I think we didn't deserve this show.
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (AND I FEEL FINE) Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right, right? You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
Dang. He was on my short list of folks whom I wanted to interview. I will miss not seeing him in new projects, but I'll still enjoy what he was able to give us.
Nate Silver is a pompous gasbag.
There's no way in this corner of the multiverse that Timp is capable of empathy. We also know Worm Brains lacks empathy as well.
Republicans were always bad at diplomacy.
Man... if he had tried with Black Adam... The best parts of that movie were not Black Adam.
Goals.
Totally fair.
They asked for contriversal takes.
YESTERDAY Cover: ACT NATURALLY
I struggle to sit through MOONRAKER, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, and OCTOPUSSY. The only Moore films I've watched more than once are FOR YOUR EYES ONLY and LIVE AND LET DIE.
Connery wasn't that good as Bond. OR "Another Way To Die" is actually a Top Tier Bond Theme.
A thread on how the government...OUR government is treating vulnerable children.
If I were that judge or any judge having to deal with Ensign, I would hold him in contempt and jail him if the government doesn't comply with the judge's order. Ensign is a menace.
I would pay money to see Trump step into a batting cage and try to hit slow-pitch softball.
I'm having Chuy's for lunch with the family.
My Google-Fu is coming up empty. I couldn't even find out anything about this guy. There was a J.L. Brown, a pastor, who died in 1938, but no indication that he was ever in Fort Smith.
This is art.
I wouldn't put it past this crew to try for Little Rock.
Yeah... I kind of sandbagged that one, didn't I?
That was from last July, when Biden's health was a significant concern for the media. Trump's health? Not so much.
If you have a falling out with your best friend over an underage masseuse/towel girl he hired away away from you... you might be a pedophile.
ELPHABA WAS RIGHT! RESIST THE WIZARD!
Sony is goddamn fucking stupid. Wait... was that a rhetorical question?
Sony blows chunks.
@jaketapper.bsky.social: I'm going to crawl up Biden's ass to uncover his health issues!
Sidebar: I do listen to "Do You Hear the People Sing?" but only in Spanish (and I don't speak or understand Spanish).
Well... no one ever accused a conservative of possessing media literacy and self-awareness.
I'll confess that I used to be a big Webber fan, but when I started paying attention to the lyrics and the stories... Webber is a big creeper. I used to have a favorite song, but when I learned it was sung to an underage girl... I quickly tossed that one into the dumpster.
Really? I suppose you can be a fan of something and still not grasp the themes of the story.
There's no way Timp listens to musical theater.
Based. The love we found, the love we found The sweetest dream that we have ever known The love we found, the love we found We carry with us so we're never quite alone
Arkansas.
YASSSS!!! The author wrote the script for the movie, and in one of the other novels, one of the characters (Bear) discusses the dream he had, highlighting the differences between the film and the first novel.
That whole movie lives rent-free in my head.
I watched that movie so many times on HBO back in the 1980s.
NECESSARY ROUGHNESS "You're hurt. You're tired. You're bleeding. I'm gonna make you a promise. We get into that endzone, you're not gonna feel any pain." (best line in any sports film)
"I figure you gotta be the dumbest guy in the world, Joe. You're trying to save the life of the man who ruined your career, and avenge the death of the guy that [bleep]ed your wife."
SCREAM (the only song he recorded with his sister, Janet) I'm tired of injustice, I'm tired of the schemes Your lies are disgusting So, what does it mean, damn it? Kickin' me down, I got to get up As jacked as it sounds The whole system sucks, damn it
Fantastic movie. I think about it every now and then.
ROSALIE GOES SHOPPING (it was shot in Stuggart, Ark.) It was my intro to independent films.
DON'T CRY And please remember that I never lied Oh, and please remember how I felt inside, now, honey You got to make it your own way But you'll be alright now, sugar You'll feel better tomorrow Come the morning light now, baby
Friday, I'm in Love Monday you can fall apart Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart Thursday doesn't even start It's Friday, I'm in love
Meta is garbage.
Confederacy of Dunces
The Arkansan Blanket Weasel. She has procured four or five blankets on a small sofa for its nest.
Mike Huckabee would never be as cool playing an instrument as Bill Clinton.
If we think about it... turning tragedy into a spectacle may be the most James Cameron thing ever.
THE GIZZARD!!!
LOVED IT! But it's based on a true story. The other examples are fictional tales that best illustrate the nuances of that profession. I covered high school sports, and I spent too much time pointing out what they get wrong in film and TV.
Ella-ella-ella.
He spent most of his time on vacation and bitching about what other people are wearing. If that's what it is... then... yeah.
They've yet to get a movie about journalism right (unless it's based on a true story). The closest I've seen is "His Girl Friday," where the journalists are sitting around waiting for something to happen and leap at the smallest thing. Saw that in action a couple of weeks ago.
I totally get it. My childhood was defined by Ronald [bleep]ing Reagan.
God was like the No. 1 killer of children in the Bible. Why are they upset about that?
Some reporter needs to dig up who received those big fat paychecks and to whom they contributed campaign funds. I would, but Florida isn't in my coverage area. Besides, I got my own 3,000-bed prison I have to keep track of.
Also Cameron:
I enjoy the opportunities to do long-form journalism, and I appreciate it when my editors give me the space to do so. www.swtimes.com/story/news/2...
We were there at the same time! Cool.
What a [bleep]ing weirdo.
Class of 1994!

Tom Clancy's Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)
That's really what it boils down to: Workplace drama and ruined friendships.
Conway: Let's get this done, I have places to go! Greg: You gotta drop your girlfriend off before the first bell? Conway tried to leap across the table, but being old and drunk, he wasn't very good at it. Greg was able to slip out of the radio studio during the commotion.
My buddy, Greg, was a bit actor for Shepherd of the Hills in Branson, and Conway Twitty had a show at one of the theaters in town. Greg appeared on a morning radio show to discuss the upcoming season. During Greg's segment, Conway shows up drunk and belligerent with an "age-inappropriate" girl.
And then when you learn the backstory of the song... it makes it even more interesting to listen to. (See Taylor Swift vs. Katy Perry)
The video is actually kind of fun with some neat cameos. youtu.be/QcIy9NiNbmo?...
We're facing a nationwide nursing shortage.
Many positive thoughts, vibes, and love.
A buddy of mine almost got in a fight with Conway Twitty.
I do too! Which is a weird thing for me to collect since I'm allergic to dust.
Studio execs have no [bleep]ing clue. They get lucky or they don't.
[BLEEP]! I'm still sporting an S20.
