"MOST PEOPLE DON'T VOTE. MOST PEOPLE DON'T VOTE BECAUSE THEY ARE TO THE LEFT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY." -@BootsRiley spitting about the fact that many people on the left do not want to vote for a party like the Democratic Party, a party that is not truly oppositional.
I saw Disclosure Day in hopes it would enthrall like most Spielberg films, and I love good alien movies (Day the Earth Stood Still, 2001, Close Encounters, Contact, etc), but don't waste your time.
Great acting (Emily Blunt is fabulous) but:
—weak plot
—car/train chases/fights feel superfluous
—little suspense (you know "disclosure" is coming)
—lame ending & tired theme that "they" don't want the world to know aliens are here: in this case it's not the government but a private company improbably named Wardex that must kill the man about to reveal the Big Secret but whose ex-nun girlfriend insists he must not because people will stop believing in God. Colin Firth's Wardex CEO character explains that the geo-political balance of the world will also be disrupted by disclosure (how & why this would happen is not explained, although apparently N Korea is about to launch a nuke).
—Aliens first appear as animals who stare at humans: deer, a fox, a raccoon & a moose, apparently directed by red cardinals, who also plant an alien being inside Emily Blunt's character who then talks gibberish on TV.
—At the end the aliens are disclosed to be bipedal great apes with bulbous heads & big eyes (as seen in most bad alien flicks), which is highly unlikely: there are 8 great ape species on Earth out of ~8 million species = 0.000001.
—I will admit, if the UFO Files ever reveal actual footage of the many crashed aliens in history (why do they always crash after traversing the vast distances of interstellar space?) like those shown in the film, or we get to actually see the alien bodies and crashed saucers hidden by the government (or the equivalent of Wardex, like Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies), I will adjust my priors and update my credence on ETIs.

Rainn Wilson says "The Office" probably wouldn’t be made today, telling Fox News Digital that media trends have shifted left and that cancel culture makes it difficult for edgy comedies to thrive.
Wanda Sykes says Bill Maher confronted her after she dissed him on the Golden Globes stage in January:
"He was like, 'What was that about?' And I was like, 'It's a joke, Bill.' He's like, 'Well, I mean, it wasn't even a joke.' I said, 'Oh, no, I heard laughter. It was clearly a joke.'" https://t.co/6Cicgmo7TZ
World Cup games are taking place 25 minutes from my house and I can go the entire duration without noticing it. And that is how big and glorious America is.
I’m sat in a sports bar in New Orleans, just over an hour from kick-off. It’s half empty and there’s not a USA shirt in sight.
If this was England, there’d be a queue out the door, Maggy would have got her tits out already, and they’d have run out of Guinness by now.
@tStocktonTTU@Waubaugh If you don’t think Mixon would’ve played a lot that year then you’re an idiot. It’s a lost year for an elite RB. That’s a big deal.
Today on @sircalebhammer's show:
-"Since JFK all the U.S. Presidents have kissed the wall.... the Jews did 9/11... Israel killed Charlie Kirk... He is going against a lot of Israel's beliefs, he denied 150 million dollars from Israel and all of a sudden, a couple days later he was killed... He was changing his views about Israel..."
