I don't think I have words for how much this movie moved me, how much I cried when I watched it the times I watched it, and how I will probably not be able to watch it again for a while because it keeps making me cry and right now I have too many things to cry about so I kinda need to keep my shit together for a bit. It's a great film.
"Donald Trump received a rapturous welcome at UFC 302, in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday night. The event was headlined by a fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier. As Trump entered the arena floor at the Prudential Center to the sound of Kid Rock’s “American Badass,” he was flanked by UFC CEO and friend Dana White. Many fans were on their feet, and some were seen wielding Trump banners. “Boy, the round of applause he’s getting right now is pretty staggering. And you had to imagine that’s what was going to happen,” said UFC commentator Joe Rogan, before shaking hands with the former president."

Fareed Zakaria, talking about Iran and the need to find a way to coexist with it, just make laudable remarks about Reagan trading arms for hostages. – "It was a start", said Zakaria.
And that's probably the most fucked up and retcon thing I will hear today. I know a lot of people here like Fareed Zakaria but he seems to me to be just another right wing hack in service to a Heritage Foundation wet dream.
Well that's half the alleged story... They didn't "trade" arms for hostages, they "sold" arms for hostages. And the money they made selling those arms went to fund the Contras. And they didn't just "give" the Contras the money, either, they used that money to buy cocaine from them. Which they distributed in the US to both recover the funds and to destabilize black communities.
Nation of Islam was in my neighborhood papering doors yesterday (they do door-to-door outreach like Jehovah’s Witnesses). I hid, but looked through their newspaper. Farrakhan is still alive! One good article about a local police brutality case, and the rest of the articles plural were about Big Pharma doing Covid to black people, typical social media trash articles of Russian disinformation. I’m pretty sure NOI is being leveraged to draw more Black Americans into non-voting or opposing official US Israel policy
They're in an alliance with Scientology for the past few years, which is odd since L. Ron Hubbard was clownishly racist, but they have things to learn from each other about manipulating their cult members and sucking money out of them.
I am a fair skinned black Native American. Black people call me 'Redbone', 'White Girl' and 'light-skinned'. White people assume that I am biracial and that my Dad was white. I never disclosed my Native status because both of groups would have immediately gone to the Pocahontas 'whoa whoa whoa' bullying. I started to reveal it once I turned 50 in 2012 and I was too over the questions. People still assume that it's the old 'Cherokee Princess great great grandmother' trope.
True Story ~ Dad looks white like his daddy and both of them could have passed. But they were so angry about the restrictions of segregation that they instead decided to stay put in Atlanta and fight back.
My grandfather, 'Big Daddy' was the product of a rape and turned out to look like his sire. He grew up in Des Moines, Iowa and the black family there remembers him fondly to this day.
My grandmother 'Nana C' was one-quarter Creek aka Muskogee. I knew my biracial great-grandfather Julius Caesar Gray - he passed away when I was 12. His was my first funeral. My great-grandmother, his wife, passed away when I was 2. She was very fair and very beautiful in her youth.'
My great-grandfather looked very Native and was actually darker than my Black grand-grandmother. But the children were all various shades of fair and could all pass the 'paper bag test'. Nana C was the fairest and the most color struck. All of them preferred the moniker 'colored' to denote their diverse heritage. The joke in the family was that Nana C pursued Big Daddy when they were both in college because he was the lightest man on campus.
SOB needs to be forced to sell assets to pay what he owes the Sandy Hook parents he abused. I want to see him shopping at Good Will to outfit his encampment under the overpass.
At the very least I want him in the back of the line till everyone else has had a turn because otherwise he'll take everyone else's stuff and won't share
He could try but if he pisses off street people, they'll just kick his ass and take his shit.
True Story ~ I lived in my great-grandmother's house in what had become the ghetto by the '80s. We had crackheads, alcoholics and even a Rastafarian commune (think MOVE). I had to navigate through all my neighbors to get along.
We even had our own 'Bye, Felecia' except it was 'Bye, Smiley' and he wasn't a crackhead but an alcoholic. He was living in his parents' house, paid for and all he had to do was pay the taxes which were about $900 a year. Maybe less because it's value was nonexistent, it was such a disaster. From the street, it looked fine unless you looked really closely and noticed telltale signs of neglect. Smiley lived there with friends, who were younger and less afflicted by their alcoholism and who were probably paying him rent. He couldn't and didn't work so there was no visible means of support.

Not my cup of tea. But I really love the effort that ziggy puts into these movie nights!
Casting America Ferrera was a brilliant choice.
She was brilliant.
"Played by the amazing Kate McKinnon, ..."
She should Smile More.
Nah man. She's terrifying when she smiles.

Actually I think they are real, but they attract the same demographic.
Just as real, three times as homoerotic.
Yeah it's the grappling. Hands get too close to the junk. And they are sweaty.
Airplane! got it right.

FEDS ATTEMPT TO SHUT DOWN INFOWARS TONIGHT – Alex Jones Breaks Down in Tears on Live Show – Heartbreaking Video – Steve Bannon Urges Alex to Take Them to the Mattresses!
Real Rittenhouse tears!
oh, lol
COME ONNNNN, FEDS
They're outside attempting but it's like a keystone cops deal. The Feds are trying.
They’re ... extremely trying
Derek Johnson called out the ones who are not just career FBI but also career MAGAts who don't want to indict their cousins
Starts at 12:21 though the whole clip is worth watching, of course
https://youtu.be/CLOa1tl8mlY?si=eHr4pWstYLqstpkm
The Feds will win. Alex will be left having to live on that paltry sum per month as the Federal marshals clean out every, last penny.
ABOUT FUCKING TIME.
Do they need a cheerleading team? What's the holdup?
The guy hosting press the meet is many degrees better than the normal goobers.
Best wishes to the Old Git.
There will probably be rumours of Russian Interference. Rumours that Murdoch papers will trumpet loudly.

Is she running all those biolabs in Ukraine?
perhaps she's retired as a biologist, but I'm certain her agent status is 'active' :/
Can you have a 67 year old "honey trap"?
(honey is the one edible foodstuff which never, ever goes off - the honey in the Egyptian tombs is still safe to eat)
True
Why not? Remember Rule 34.
One in every long game. At least.
All these republicans bitching about the convicted felon's trial, not a single one of them says he didn't do it.
It's as if they are intent on writing the textbook example of what "privilege" means.

White people got caught up in cocaine addiction too. It just wasn't crack. Same stuff, different delivery systems.
Mike Ruppert was a narcotics detective for the LAPD. Every time he approached the top of the heap, it was CIA.
Fucking Raygun.
Well that's a disappointing take on history considering impeachment should have been the result of the Arms for Hostages BS.
I heard an interview with him on NPR a few weeks ago. I was deeply disappointed in him.
Yeah. That start never ends.

Who knew?
Desperate times cause for desperate measures to get the band back together again to suppress every vote
I am a white minority in a black neighborhood—everybody calls me white bitch. It’s funny and perfect and I am not even white or a bitch

" I never disclosed my Native status because both of groups would have immediately gone to the Pocahontas 'whoa whoa whoa' bullying"
This country is a hot mess, really
I was watching some things - because of course there's more than one thing - yesterday about anti-Black Latino/a racism and it was just ... depressing
I love photographing my long boi Harry from this POV, makes for big looking paws.

No empathy for murdered babies but breaking down because he has to sell some property. Values!
SOB needs to be forced to sell assets to pay what he owes the Sandy Hook parents he abused. I want to see him shopping at Good Will to outfit his encampment under the overpass.
And eating from the Free Fridge.
I don't want him to be able to eat there
At the very least I want him in the back of the line till everyone else has had a turn because otherwise he'll take everyone else's stuff and won't share
