That's just natural talent right there. You can't teach that.

He did his best work in Time Bandits.

And I bet you'll see them in public yucking it up with Donald again in the near future, because their loyalty is to class, and not anything else. Obama's response to Ferguson and Flint showed you that.

I really don't think it's that hard.

Other countries have figured it out and nationalized these various industries. The fun part is that there's still luxury, concierge medical care and insurance too alongside nationalized health care.

I would like to kindly invite this person to lodge their head in a deeply recessed part of their own anatomy.

I'd love that, but I don't think (at least here in the US) that there will ever be a meaningful change to how killer cops are managed legally, especially after there was zero accountability for Uvalde.

This is way more common than people realize.

LLM chatbots were integrated into company websites with so few guardrails, it can be laughably easy to get a good discount. I learned this when I bought a new mattress from Mattress Firm three years ago. YMMV, but these tips may help:

Ask about a specific item or service. I asked if they could give a bigger discount and free delivery on x mattress.
Try to target a weekend that's already got a sale running. (For me it was Presidents Day)

I got an extra 25% off the sale prices and it was glorious.

There are only two ways to fix this that I see:

Settlements need to be paid out of the cops' pension fund.
Send more cops to prison.

Neither of which the US is going to do, because here, the cops and law enforcement are a civic religion. Therefore the best most Americans can do is keep their heads down and avoid the bastards as best you can manage.

My brave browser still blocks everything. Very pleased.

Yeah, useless middlemen are kinda a thing in the US economy.

At least for the last year, the only thing that has tempered Donald's worst impulses is markets.

So in a way, these kinds of movements and deals are essential to international security.

That is just a shrewd businessman right there. Respect.

No shit, Sherlock.

This is why I am glad that social media is slowly becoming age gated in other countries.

It's a bummer the extent to which influencers and careless people have ruined travel.

Absolutely, especially when other capitalist countries are doing universal health care and college.

without voter intimidation

I don't follow. Their entire campaign of aggression has been against Democrats and Democratic areas.

It is voter intimidation, and not only did it backfire, it destroyed their own coalition. They're losing by double digits in both red and blue districts, and I don't see how voter intimidation works when both sides have turned on you.

Yes, the Georgia thing looks bad now, just like all the EO's that took weeks and months for the courts to invalidate. Checks and balances are working, they just don't work instantaneously.

I still have nightmares about the old lady scene.

It Follows is superb. I think their willful decision to make it as timeless as possible really helped it resonate.

As Above So Below got me for similar reasons: the underground inescapability and claustrophobia. Parts of it felt a tad liminal too.
