I loved Lexx. It was one of those weird science fiction series that were popping up in the 90s as a response to the success of ST: TNG and Battlestar Gallactica. I haven't watched it in decades, I have to go find it.

Here in America, we definitely care, but at the moment we are caught in the biggest existenstial crisis since the Civil War. We can't deal with Climate Change until we purge the MAGA Nazi's from our government. Then we can get back on track to dealing with larger global issues

But right now we have to save our country, and the world. That's the biggest thing we can do at the moment. Because if we don't stop the Nazis, they will allow every polluter to destroy the environment.

Theres a famous account of a dinner between Steve Jobs and Rupert Murdoch, in which Jobs said essentially the same thing: we are not divided by Left/Right, Conservative/ Democrat, we are divided between Constructive and Destructive, and it was clear that Murdoch was on the side of Destructive.

I've been an Unafilliated Independent for my 45+ years of voting, but since reading that, I've described myself as a Constructive Independent.

If Disney had supported their star, instead of attacking her, she would have wanted to promote the movie.

Children, this was the Internet prior to 1995.

Anything Mark Wahlberg is in. I've never seen him do a good performance, and I've seen him do a LOT of terrible ones. Mediocre is the best he's got. And yet, he is sure he's going to get an Oscar one day.

My son, who is an actor and a cinephile, complains about how movies and shows all have actors who look like actors, and don't look like real people. He often talks about "iPhone Face," where a character in a period piece like a 19th century western, looks like they know what an iPhone is.

First season was great. Season 2 is one of my most anticipated shows.

They've had cocktails for years, that's nothing new. I don't buy them, because the only time I bought a beer in a movie theater, they charged me $12. That was pre-Covid. Its probably $18 now. How do they think that charging those predatory proces is going to entice people back to the movies?

With those predatory prices, I have no moral qualms with bringing in my own. I stop at Dollar Tree on the way to the theater, buy my snacks there (they have candy in noiseless movie boxes for $1.25 instead of $8), and sneak in those and a bottle of water. I've been doing that for many years, and nobody has ever said a thing. My son walks in with a tote bag full of groceries, and nobody ever stops him.

This should be the top new story for every news media outlet. They should be covering this Tweet in deep detail. What does it mean? Why did they send it? Who suggested it? Who wrote it? Who approved it? Who are they addressing it to? Is it approriate for the White House to be threatening to kill anyone?

If HitlerPig doesn't declare Martial Law and suspend elections, then this Tweet should be the centerpiece of EVERY election campaign.

We need to remember this when the revolution comes, and people are hesitant to start shooting. THIS is how they see us. We need to see them the exact same way.
