Unfortunately a lot of folks who voted R actually want the country to go backwards: Coal, Oil, Gas, Bigotry, Racism, demeaning Women, denying the vote to all but themselves. The list goes on.

The Only reasons RFK Jr. has the job is because: 1) He’ll do whatever the Taco in Chief tells him to do, and 2) He’s batshit crazy - just to mess with “all them learn-ed doctors and scientists.”

Just because you are against genocide does Not mean you are pro terrorism. I can be against Netanyahu’s treatment of the civilians of Gaza without being pro Hamas. This is not a black and white situation. There needs to be accountability for the treatment of civilians in any conflict.

It’s a sad fact that many people with small world views reinforce what they’ve been taught and believe by isolating themselves into groups that only support that view. Until they can see the harm caused by their views and finally open their hearts to those not like themselves, they remain ignorant.

Definitely going to make some minor adjustments. After rereading info from others who have made them many times before, I’m looking forward to tweaking the recipe to improve the end result.

How long before Hollywood runs out of animated classics to remake as live action? Unless we remake the same film multiple times (a la Spider-Man remakes). Mark my words, we’ll start to see animated films and their live-action versions being made on set together to save time and resources.
