I was invited to take photos of the first NYC showing of Second Best School Shooting yesterday and I was blown away by how honest, funny, and harrowing the show was about the plague of gun violence in America. Strongly recommend seeing if you have the chance.

Trump: The fake news only covered the ass part. They said 'what the hell was Trump doing talking about a man's anatomy? He was talking about his ass.' I studied his ass to see where the power came from

This is a significant story about a highly credible victim who allegedly was raped by Donald Trump. Where is the legacy media? The expanding evidence of his raping not as interesting as Hillary’s emails? www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

mediaite.comFormer Miss Switzerland Accuses Trump of RapeBeatrice Keul, a former Miss Switzerland, alleges that Trump raped her while she was in the U.S. for a pageant in 1993, according to House Judiciary Dems.

Preemptively letting your opponents know that you're toothless is exactly the kind of tactic that's been not working for a quarter century and by God it'll continue not working for the rest of the century if Lib Democrats have their way

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

With the disclaimer that our travel was covered for the MinnMax Spotlight and MinnMax is thanked in the credits, I HIGHLY recommend playing Virtue and a Sledgehammer. Physical rage towards a digital world. Pretty wild for a game in development for years to perfectly meet the cultural moment.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

All this to say: what's the journey that makes Doomsday exciting? We haven't seen any hero in this phase truly cheat death and persevere against odds the way Tony/Steve/Thor have, and only one has made the sacrifice worthy of an impossible reward (shout out to Spider-Man).

Thor's been pretty MIA since IW, Shang Chi last we saw was chillin 20s loser style with Wong and Akwafina, so it feels like all the tension is going to be a bunch of melodrama and the film telling me to care about characters audiences haven't been given any reason to care for.

All 3 defied death through sheer force of will to continue fighting for Earth, and for doing an impossible feat they each receive an impossible reward- Tony and Thor get one last meeting with their dead parents, Steve gets the lifetime he lost.

Tony telling Howard "no amount of money ever bought another minute of time" is ironic because he got that time through an expensive time machine he built, but it still hits, still gets to me because even having built that tech he still saw this as impossible and did not take it all for granted.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.
