I liked Temple of Doom more than Last Crusade when I was a kid, but within a few years I started to like Last Crusade more, to the point that it’s actually the Indy movie I enjoy watching the most. (I’m not going to say it’s “better” than Raiders, mainly because saying one piece of art is “better” than another is…

We’ll have to agree to strongly disagree that Temple of Doom is a better movie than Last Crusade. ToD had some good action sequences but the rest was cringingly bad. When I saw it in the theater in its first run, I was so hype after the clever opening sequence and was gutted by how bad it was after that.

Fixed that ranking for you.

Act like everything is not only great, but exactly how you wanted it to be all along... you’re right, the GOP are acting like a bunch of cats! “I totally meant to get my head stuck in the glass, fall off the table, back into the fireplace, catch my tail on fire, and then run through the house urinating. You must just…

It works though. People have already forgotten the downright all-time historic embarrassment that was the GOP House Follies last year, and are now focused on Joe having a bad night in front of the cameras.

Years ago I watched a show on...fuck, I don’t know; one of those cable channels...about what the planet would be like if humanity just disappeared. “Fortunately,” the show said, “we have a practical example of this right now.” And then showed a ton of footage of Gary. I drove through it once just to see it, and wow.

Don’t forget the billboards that ask if you’re “Illinoised by high IL taxes” and to not turn Indiana into Illinois if you do move there. As an IL resident, I will gladly pay the higher taxes so we don’t turn into Indiana.

Either that, or they used it to blackmail/extort someone, who then killed themself

That was the station my logic train arrived at as well.

It’s a pretty big jump from ‘death investigation involving a suicide’ to ‘the cops put it there’.  Alternative scenario:  Employee put hidden camera in women’s bathroom, got found out and then killed themselves.  That would also explain why the police aren’t looking for any suspects.

Or straight away from it, I’m flexible.

Fuck him, looking forward to watching him ride one of his rockets into the sun.

Flash! This just in!

It was pretty clear from the contributions that the worst place to stop is anywhere in the south, period. Just stay away.

Private equity is the fucking bane of America. They’ve looted profitable businesses into bankruptcy, driven medical costs through the roof and made housing unaffordable for an entire generation. And the conservative Supreme Court’s overturning of the Chevron decision has basically given them even more of a free hand…

Any progressives on the fence about voting for Biden (and who could blame you?) please note today’s news about SCOTUS overturning Chevron Deference, upholding bans on unhoused people camping, and letting a whole bunch of insurrectionists off the hook. TODAY.

Now, consider the fact that two of the staunchest…

There’s an idea that any criticism of Biden today means that the person won’t support the nominee in November, which is how criticism gets shut down.

As I said above, as poorly as Biden did in what passed for a debate, still he has an excellent chance of being re-elected. This is based on understanding how US elections and history have operated. People across the media landscape, have zero understanding of these historical processes. Their jobs are to generate…

Look at the end of the day you have the VERY VERY real possibility that a facist, sexist, and racist leads the country and opens the floodgates for laws that will take away people’s rights, punish women and make it harder for anyone without a billion dollar bank roll or dark skin to have any real life.

YES I have…
