Yeah, go ahead and laugh. My guess is the FBI wants to make it legal to start doing this here. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...
Kash Patel: "Applicants who have engaged in beastiliaty means they were victims of beastility because they were forced to do so. At this FBI we are not going to criminalize and prevent victims from serving."
Rod Serling would've done this as a Twilight Zone episode about a town gripped with fear/greed of the imminent invention of a god machine named Aycee they believe will make unlimited gold. They drive themselves insane and riot and then it comes..and it's an Air Conditioner that makes things cold.
Especially stupid move because Christopher Nolan's movies always have conservative subtext. If the right wing waited they could've used The Odyssey to screech about 'low-trust societies' and welfare frauds. But, as always, he's a Tory and not racist enough for them to see an ally.
All newly-arrived white South Africans are required to conform to our cultural understanding of them, the sole textbook on this being the movie Lethal Weapon 2.
I wrote about Trump’s white nationalist goodie bags for incoming white South African refugees, which include android tablets, American flags, and a bunch of literature that criticizes Mandela and says the U.S. civil rights movement was misguided. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
I've had conversations with 70+ year-olds where they've complained about my generation and I've told them the decades I've worked, the house I won't own, the family I won't raise and my expected future and seen in their eyes a flash of incriminating sympathy. But it's only a flash, and they recover.
Hot Take: It's beautifully lit but this movie is pure cheese. The story is a cartoon, the characters are lazily conceived and Walken's ethnically diverse Burger King Kids Club of a gang is stupid. It's an edgy gangster movie from the mind of George Lucas.

Charlie Kirk was a human Twilight Zone episode: a man who used sophistry to annoy and irritate his way to meme stardom who then suffers the ultimate grotesque murder and then his name and likeness are stripped of context (like how he used to argue) and he's turned into an immortal meme goblin.
In times of immense division, people are metabolizing violence through memes—pushing the A.I.-slop frontier from Charlie Kirk’s assassination to the ongoing war in Iran. www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...
Everyone's a high roller until an Iranian missile hits your petrochemical industrial complex.

In history today, the Great March of Return, a peaceful march for Palestinians right of return, began and was met by extreme violence by Israel in 2018. The noir of the day is 1953's JEOPARDY, directed by John Sturges for M-G-M and starring Ralph Meeter, Barbara Stanwyck, and Barry Sullivan.
I believe that makes it the first AWACS the United States has lost in combat, ever. The omens are so loud. bsky.app/profile/vcdg...
NGL, I'm legit concerned for those other planes that have been labelled "damaged."
Saying something "violates the mandatory standard" sounds like the coldest insult you can give.

Far-right activist turned high-ranking FEMA official Gregg Phillips has a problem. Sometimes he finds himself “teleporting” into ditches, or even into a Waffle House.
