The finale of The Last of the Mohicans (1992) are basically Michael Mann saying dialogue is optional once cinema becomes this locked in. The way the score keeps accelerating while the editing cuts cleaner & cleaner with every death is unreal craftsmanship.
Trump's Justice Department has agreed to pay Michael Flynn $1.25 million in taxpayer money even though he pleaded guilty twice to making false statements to FBI agents about his interactions with Russian officials. @alanfeuer https://t.co/M5KgyCBAbx
Is this the swamp you’re always banging on about @KariLake ?
“The Kennedy Center also hired Lake’s husband, Jeff Halperin, to work on multimedia for the institution, and they are paying him $10,833 a month to produce social media videos.”

In 2021, a convicted fraudster named Adriana Camberos was freed from prison when President Trump commuted her sentence.
Camberos returned to crime. She and her brother were convicted in 2024 in an unrelated fraud
This week, Trump pardoned her again https://t.co/HfPY5O4LRW
I can’t believe what things have come to in the NFL. John Harbaugh has coached the Baltimore Ravens for 18 years. He took them to the playoffs 12 times. He won a Super Bowl for them. The last 4 years they were 10-7, 13-4, 12-5, 8-9. They made the playoffs 3 straight years and missed this year because their kicker missed the game winning FG on the last play of the season. And he was fired???? I’m sorry but I don’t understand. Good luck Baltimore in finding a better coach.
Larry Bushart was arrested on a $2 million bond for posting a meme on Facebook. He was released this week, after more than a month in jail.

This has two bad effects. First, it makes the meritocracy into an obvious creator of a caste system, which both divides the population and makes the affluent take ever more desperate steps to ensure their kids stay in that zone of affluence. Travel sports, Russian math, etc.
