Announcer voice: “It won’t help.”

When a trailer looks that mediocre, knowing that trailers are often assembled from the best a film can offer, you know it’ll suck.

Duh.

Die mad about it.

If aborting an embryo is (according to Republicans) tantamount to murder, and they want it to be actual murder, i.e., embryos == babies, then owning embryos must be slavery?

If they were consistent in their beliefs, that is. Does birth then emancipate them or do they remain property?

This fucking country. 🤦‍♂️

The first sequel is worth a read. Subsequent ones are weaker, IMO.

On iOS, I use and love Paprika.

Growing up in the 1960s, my father was a chainsmoker. I never noticed. It was the water that little fish me swam in.

He quit when I was, I dunno, maybe 12 or 13. Suddenly, I noticed tobacco smoke when I encountered it, and it was revolting. I deeply resented having to work in an office in the 1980s that allowed smoking. I deeply resented restaurants with “smoking sections” that were just a half-wall separating me and smokers. I hated flying, with the stench from the “smoking section” filling my air.

How did I survive? Resentfully.

Some accounts there have recently encouraged traders to keep investing in a fight they said was about “good vs evil” — a way to defend Trump from the liberal elites laughing at him and, by extension, them. The user @BaldylocksUSMC said “the fight has been long and hard on most of us” and that “this stock is not for the weak,” but that one day they would triumph over critics who were “brainwashed beyond repair.”

Ol’ BaldylocksUSMC is such a strong man! Invest more, Baldy! Sell the house, invest the proceeds in DJT! Own me, baby! —The Libs

Why? To make workers fearful. Fearful people are less likely to protest or unionize.

Give us a viable path fom here to there, given that capitalism doesn’t give a shit about them and that they have been trained to hate SoCiaLisM?

Seriously, if you had a magic wand that could cause the entirety of our federal, state and local governments to want to improve the lot of poor rural Americans, what would result from that?

Because most of the things I can think of, like universal basic income, universal free (at point of access) healthcare, etc, are exactly things that conservative poor rurals have for decades been propagandized to hate as SoCiaLisM.

Myself, I grow tired of hearing that I need to better understand those folks and why they vote as they do. I’ve lived in rural areas, in my youth. It’s among the reasons that I don’t live there now.

Never stop being corny.

Lying for Jesus.

Gotta give him credit, though. He’s been doing his level best to make it go up.

Cue tiny violins.

Fucking spineless Republicans.

It’s not even notable any more, sadly.
