Hellraiser and the original Dune. Claymation looks so fake now, but it didn’t back then.
You know those movies as a young kid that you watch over and over? This was mine. From like 7 to 12 I would have these recurring dreams of a school with a flag in front and then going the stairs into a basement. I wondered where the hell it was coming from, then I watched the intro to the movie again in my 20s.
If not arachnophobia, then perhaps starship troopers?
I’ve had this odd thought lately that I just want to put into the ether. And honestly, I’ve been a free trade person pretty much all my life, because I think free trade can and should empower societies to trade what they’re best at, and it has the capability to help pull billions out of poverty.
But one thing I’ve always thought was fucked about free trade is the countries that we exploit, that is, those that pay the kind of wages the US suffered through in the 1800s and early 1900s. The kind of labor that works too long and still barely struggles to survive.
What if the tariffs do balance that a bit better? What if American workers get a fair shake to do work for American consumers? What if this awful, awful dark period in our lives somehow gives the Vietnamese or Cambodian worker a better life because the US is no longer willing to buy goods from countries that exploit their workforce?
I personally don’t want to be part of the tomato problem if I can help it. This is on no way an endorsement of the current administration, but why the fuck did it have to be this administration that acted upon this? Why couldn’t it have been prior administrations over the last 30 years?
They’ve made their decision, now let’s see them enforce it.
Peace in our time.
How do you square cleaning up Europe’s mess in one thread with Yemen and knocking them down for actively defending Ukraine in another?
You know guys, I’m starting to think these morons just hate Europe.
So if the other day was liberation day, then today is…?
Tell that to all the people who have pension plans invested in the market. Tell that to all universities who have endowments that enable them to grant scholarships for people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford it.
He should go ahead and tempt fate and try it. Show their hand. Either the ICC has teeth or it doesn’t.
I am reminded of Winston Churchill saying that Americans will do the right thing after they have exhausted all other options.
I just didn’t quite realize how far “all other options“ could really go.
Man with 7 bankruptcies promises this time things will be great.
I’m not South Korean. Why was this a bad thing? The court ruled 7-1 due to the methods of impeachment not aligning with the constitution. I think rule of law is important. If you want to impeach, then either follow the law or amend the constitution - or else try to circumvent it and set a precedent to your own eventual peril.
I’m looking forward to seeing the most fabulous masks that feathers and glitter can buy in Budapest this year.
What the hell is their beef with St Kitts?
You don’t have to be, simply all you have to do is remove the pinko.
Peace in our time.
I know right?! And another 40 as well in Gaza.
Well that certainly aligns with someone who would be best buds with a guy who trafficked women into sex slavery.
Where are the Epstein files Donnie?
