Of course Freddy Mercury loved the Bohemian Rhapsody bit. Look at what Queen did immediately after wrapping the long, long shoot for the Bohemian Rhapsody video:
It's one of my favorite Cohen brothers pictures. I almost fell on the floor laughing when I saw it in a theater and they're viewing rushes of the religious epic with a slug title saying "Miracle to Be Inserted Later".
I'll say it again. He didn't want to go, he was sent. Tried to get out the first day; 'we won, we won'. Not so soon, this ain't Venezuela boy.
Now is worst, he is looking bad everyday. Here he is trying again to make it go away.
April 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump told AFP on Tuesday that the United States had won a "total and complete victory" after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran.
"Total and complete victory. 100 percent. No question about it," Trump told AFP in the brief call when asked if he was claiming victory with the ceasefire.
Ok I only got to item 8 Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
They can go fuck off. Federal employees are not paid/compensated any where close to private sector. We choose service over money.
It's interesting to see what's happening on the left and right now.
The left is coalescing around issues of justice, accountability, diversity, education, fair taxation, strengthening the social safety net, and breaking up systems of corporate power that are bleeding the middle class and poor dry and, literally, killing US citizens.
On the right, they're coalescing around a vague idea of fascism, but can't make up their mind if they want a feudal corporate system, a "strong man" Putin-style dictatorship, or a Christian nationalist fascist state, or some combination of all of the above.
The left is rallying around a system of government driven by the needs of its citizens.
The right is desperately trying to install a system - any system, really - that concentrates power on a small elite. They just can't decide which elite (or elites) that would be.
Finally admitting what people have been saying all along: when you have a developed, well educated nation with choices, the population is going to look for better opportunities and they're not going to do hard, low wage manual labor unless they're forced into it.
People aren't (yet) desperate enough to do the kind of backbreaking work immigrants from much less economically prosperous countries are willing to do to build a better future for themselves and their kids. But, if Trump-Vance-Thiel has their way, crashing the economy for everyone but a small cabal of millionaires, they will be.
Sorry, the whole premise of the thing seems to be 'Why bother to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before, when you can just loiter about the galactic Howard Johnson's and wait for them to pull in for a shit and a splash of gas?'.
Late-night beatings. Pepper-spray “bombs.” Meager meals washed down with cloudy water sipped from moldy cups. These are the daily ordeals relayed by immigrants held inside the remote Everglades detention camp known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” where detainees say food is scarce, the cages where they sleep reek of urine and complaints can be met with chemical sprays or solitary confinement in cramped cells.
NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!’ Trump Seethes at Iran’s ‘TOTAL VIOLATION’ of Ceasefire
ABC’s Jonathan Karl reported on a brief phone call with the president Sunday morning in which Trump said that Iran had indeed committed a “serious violation.” But the president insisted he will get a peace deal.
“It will happen,” Trump said. “One way or another. The nice way or the hard way. It’s going to happen. You can quote me.”
I saw Wayne's World at the theater with my friend Siggy back in the day. Her real name is Sigrun like the Valkyrie but she never liked the name. We almost got kicked out that day because we...had to smoke a joint. Had no other choice, really.
Oh FFS. I practiced my signature when I was a young because I thought I was gonna be a famous artist. Anyone can fucking sign something you demented orange fool!!!

Hail, Ceasar! is a fun movie. Some ensemble movies give the impression of the cast having a pretty good time.
Really loved all the old Hollywood references. Watched it with my dad and had an utterly joyous couple of hours.

Looks like his propensity for magical thinking has finally hit the wall of reality.
A total and complete victory, like nobody's ever seen before.

It's a real crisis of conscience when your racism gets in ymthe way of your exploitable labor pool.
Sooner or later, anything that stands between "jerb creators" and cheap labor has got to go.
Husband’s job this morning is to scoop mother in law’s cats into their carriers in advance of the movers.
This is proving to be a…challenge.
They’re both wily former feral cats who avoided being caught for ages. They’re sweet but…
Plus MiL gets agitated and in the way and “don’t you hurt her!”
Neither cat is tempted by treats, which is weird to me.
Wish him luck.
Catnip?
They also don’t like toys—they’ve never been catnipped!
It would probably just make hubby distracted.
Perhaps that’ll help in some way.
Is it Orthodox Easter today? Still time for an Easter miracle...c'mon, blood clot!

Don't rain on my Orthodox Easter parade😉
An embolism while he publicly "reads scripture" has its merits, as well...
Two Corinthians, preferably.
As long as it's very public, completely humiliating, and undeniable.
And has been recorded so we can watch it over and over again and laugh our asses off.
It will have to be or we will be living through an AI nightmare for months.
Lightening bolt or GTFO!
Now, now...mustn't be TOO obvious.
I think we NEED some obvious!

Allow me to offer up Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as the best of the versions.
Nope, Strange New Worlds has got my attention and I need to get back to it.

You don't need to go looking for drama, let the drama come to you.
Well they parked themselves right outside the wormhole, like the Galactic Off Ramp.

It’s funny, that’s how a good friend of mine and I reassure each other about this idiot’s eventual trip to the Big Nowhere:
Friend: It will happen.
Me: One way or another.
AND I foresee the market dropping like a stone tomorrow morning. I'm not even psychic!
TFG's philosophy is why plan when nothing works out anyway, and nothing matters.
I’m starting to think this guys has no idea what he’s doing.
As always, he’s grifting, making money, that’s all that matters.
Hmmmm. It could be a possibility.
To be fair, I guessed...:

I'm bad at island nations, too.
You have to start somewhere.

Trump’s autopen is a seismograph with a sharpie duct-taped to it.
It’s a bunch of klan hoods all in a row.
Come on! Lie detector was RIGHT THERE!
There's no way one could confine the swings of the needle to a single page. (0% of his signature would be on the Resolute Desk.
His backup autopen is a Spirograph.
Yes, but Susie Wiles has to place the stylus bc he doesn't have the synapses for that.
I really wish Biden still wasn’t president
I really miss competency and no chaos.
SO MUCH
They see it as entertainment.
Till the shutoff notices come.
This. I believe this is really the root of the problem: the inability of people to differentiate entertainment from reality.
Oh yeah. It’s definitely a big one. After all, championship wrestling is real.
I *wish* some weisenheimer shouted out, “Biden can ride a bike. Can you?”
"I'll bet they would've let Biden drive the truck!"
Biden has actual human hair, too. Granted, there's not a lot left of it.
He's not trying to hide that with a stupid raccoon comb over though.
That's the same style he's been wearing since the 70s, just working with less now lol.
HA!!!
Just normal old man hair and not some weird oedipal recreation of his mom's hairdo.
Biden can drive a car also too.
His parents almost certainly loved him, too.
"Mommy, look what I did!"
"Good honey! Next time we'll use fingerpaints instead of your own poop, ok?"
I laughed but...gatdang, that's dire.
I was thinking the same thing as Imurr.
Oh FFS. I practiced my signature when I was a young because I thought I was gonna be a famous artist. Anyone can fucking sign something you demented orange fool!!!
Well it wasn’t a x.
"Look, Daddy, I can sign my own name now!"
"I'm a big kid now!"
They are on the brown acid
Iran's entire navy sits on the ocean floor, and yet, continues to harass shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Don't need a navy when everyone's in shore battery range. Which really should be easy air targets, and yet, the us hasn't eliminated them...
The navy using boats was perfect troll. They are good at this.
Aren't the drones launchable from almost anywhere?
Just pull up with a van or pickup full and fire away.
Shhhhhhhh. Nobody is supposed to notice!
