I watched "Roadrunner vs. Acme" today, to some degree just to thumb my nose at the corporate executives who tried to kill it for a tax write-off, but it is also legitimately a GREAT movie!

When I think about James Bond and sex, it’s the repeated disregard for consent that I think of. Kirk, though, I bet he screws like he fights. E.g., with both hands clenched into a single weird fist. Deeply confusing but fully committed.

Imagine you're about to rob a bank. You have guns and a plan and you're steeling your nerves. And then, as you're about to do it, a giant smiling alien approaches. It picks you up. "Gloo bork blag bleep!" the alien exclaims as it kisses your forehead. This is what it is like to be a cat.

one upside of all of this is the revelation that the swinging dick bankers and big rah rah capital execs and billionaires are actually meek little scared dogs and president AOC or whoever (god willing) should walk them on a leash and make them drink out of a bowl

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

someone's kindly old grandmother, knitting: "Come the revolution, we need to line the Trump and his ICE gestapo up against a wall, and mow them down with submachine guns!" Chuck Schumer, staring at a whiteboard: "...so do voters care about ANY issues, besides egg prices? Anyone? Beuller?"

I said this seven months ago, and I stand by it more than ever. ICE has only killed two protesters, out of tens of thousands, protesting for weeks. As a "risk statistic", you're probably in more danger driving a car TO the protest than being shot at it. But look at the fuss it gets! Worth it.

I was born in 1970, and for my entire childhood I only knew the Kent State "Massacre" was a rallying cry for all good people to unite against the evil tyrant, Nixon. Now I'm old enough to realize this "Massacre" was only, like... four white people? Out of millions? I can live with those odds.

“the family is at fault for not taking the bait” is five star victim blaming. breaking new ground here.

ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

It is funny that the current FBI director treats the job like it's a trip to Entourage Disneyland, but bear in mind that for us this is probably the best possible outcome. I do not want Trump's FBI director to actually care about the job

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
