"Prosecutors say [4 days in jail] will deter others" from helping people escape from ICE. Nope! If anything, it makes me more eager to help, knowing that's all the punishment is. Four days in Utah County jail can't be too bad. I'd get a great story out of it, probably make some new friends.
A Utah couple who admitted to helping a man escape from ICE officers will serve four days behind bars, a sentence prosecutors say will deter others from doing the same as the Trump administration continues its immigation crackdown.
Yes but '80s. We played it in the computer lab in 6th grade (1985-86). The computer lab was great. I mostly used the time to practice my typing skills. I would transcribe the lyrics to songs I knew, just to type. Loved typing. Did not anticipate typing being sole method of communication as an adult.
Americans who went to school in the 90s: did you play Oregon Trail? Did EVERYONE play Oregon Trail? I keep seeing it come up and wonder if it was truly that prevalent
The first movie I remember seeing in a theater was at a drive-in with my family to see E.T. in 1982 or early '83. I'd have been 8. We didn't go to the movies often (many kids; little money; no theater in our town), but still, this can't have been my first movie. But it's the first one I remember.
First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.
Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."
CORRECTION: This guy's parents supported Trump when he was a kid. Now that he's an adult, he's realizing that was wrong.
Michael Fusella supported President Trump for nearly a decade. But as the Iran war drags on and the cost of living continues to climb, the 21-year-old Republican said he feels betrayed by a president who said he’d end overseas conflicts and lower prices.
When Ron Burgundy says, "Milk was a bad choice," that was Will Ferrell giving Adam McKay a real note. It was a hot July day, McKay thought it would be funny for Ron to drink milk (true), but the milk was warm. That was real Ferrell annoyance expressed in Ron Burgundy's voice.
We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.
I hope nothing bad happens to the cop, Hunter Foster! I hope Hunter Foster doesn’t get shot in the head while sitting on his mother’s lap!
JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.
