Politics And Current Events
I once got sh*t for photographing a HS senior with a US flag wrapped around her shoulders. People thought it was disrespecting the flag. I'd bet good money that every one of the people who whined about that voted for Trump.

More proof the Trump wing of the Rs don't really care about the border crisis and are just using it to score points: Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday took aim at former President Trump for pushing Republican lawmakers to oppose a border deal so that he could use the issue to campaign against Pr...

Regarding true detective. It would probably help, it's only 2 episodes in, but it's feeling like more of a direct sequel to season 1 than just callbacks at this point. Like that guy dancing, if you paid attention to his name and illness and you remember season 1 well, you'll see what I mean Hmmm. I...

Watched the first episode of True Detective season 4 last night. Not a bad start. The interpretive dance was... a choice. The rest was pretty good though. Look forward to seeing where it goes.

Lately when I click a link to a website (usually going to a news site) I get the standard Chrome "This page can't be reached" error screen. I have to refresh the page 4-8x before it finally loads. It happens on a variety of sites, so I suspect it's something with my computer or browser. I'm using Ad...

If Republicans (pols and media, not voters) really wanted the immigration issue to be solved, they would stop going on TV and proclaiming to listeners around the world that the US has an open border where anyone who wants to can waltz right in and get a free ride. R's know that's not true, and sayin...

It’s literally begging the fed to have a conflict right before election time. That's exactly what the Rs/Texas wants. Imagine the spin. "Biden usurps states' rights to aid illegals!" "Biden seizes control of the national guard so that more illegals can freely cross the border!" "Biden welcomes rapi...

Imagine how far along these would be had big oil and our useless Congress not killed development. The same way with renewable energy.

Season 1 of Mayor of Kingstown had some pretty good moments. Yeah, the writing was pretty ham-fisted, but I enjoyed it for the most part. Season 2 is a completely trainwreck. I can't even believe it was produced as it was so clearly thrown together and half-assed. A couple of the episodes barely cra...

I seem to have lost one of the keyfobs for my Subaru. I'm sure getting a replacement from a dealer would be stupid expensive, but what are the best alternatives? Can I trust that a fob from some weird website like generickeyscheap dot com are actually going to work?

Since it ended up on Netflix I wish they would have pivoted away from that network primetime show aura, but given the extreme popularity of the show on Netflix I guess there's an overwhelming appetite for that type of show still. I haven't watched LL so this might not be what you're referring to bu...

I watched it for the first time two weekends ago and really enjoyed it. I especially loved the parts with Leo and the child actor.I finally watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
What a fantastic movie.

Switching sides, how worried are we that the Middle East is going to keep the far left at home come election day? I know my twitter algorithm skews highly that way, but there's a lot of talk about staying home because of Israel-Palestine. I think it's going to be a major factor in the youth vote. I...

I'll always take any opportunity to harp on entertainment execs being the most uncreative people on the planet. That's because (especially now more than ever) they're not creative talent. They're simply CEOs seeking to maximize profits for stock holders. They don't care about the quality of what th...

A DSLR or mirrorless camera with a 70-200 lens is going to blow away any point and shoot. But, as the saying goes, the best camera is the one in your hand. If she's going to be more apt to carry around and use a P&S then go that route. Sorry, but I have no experience with P&Ss and can't recommend an...

Same here. My big hurdle tends to be that he favors telling stories about characters that I have no interest spending 2-3 hours of my life with. That could be part of it. My favorite Scorsese movie is Shutter Island and it's the only of his films I've watched more than twice. And even that I mostly...

I watched Killers of the Flower Moon last night. Pretty good movie, and didn't feel like 3+ hours long. Scorsese's movie's are always one offs for me though. I admire his talent, but I've never really connected with one of his films in a way that makes me want to watch it repeatedly.

A quick google search says the average IQ for a pilot is around 120. That's not all that special. I mean, I tested at 124 in high school, and I'm hardly a genius.

Earlier today Christie called NH Gov. Sununu a liar because Sununu said he heard Christie was dropping out. A few hours later, Christie drops out.
It's such a shame that being a lying POS is a prerequisite to be a politician in the US.
