@HollywoodHandle@allocine Romulus was for sure better than his two prior efforts. I really don’t need to see any more of David. Nor do I need to see another Ridley Scott Alien variant. Much respect to the legend for the original Alien but that should be it for him
-It is still Lake Ontario
-It is still the Gulf of Mexico
-It is still the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
-He is still a pedophile.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I'm getting a Costco membership even though I don't need one. My friend had Stage 4 cancer. Costco kept her employed for 2 years after her diagnosis manageable shifts, just so she'd keep her health benefits, which were excellent. She passed away recently. Costco is now covering a full year of COBRA premiums for her 3 sons.
Costco retained DEI under pressure in 2025 with 98% of shareholders backing them, and offers starting wages at $20/hr. Pulling all Callaway? Just icing on the cake.
Twenty five years ago today, the world lost Aaliyah Dana Haughton, one of the most influential young voices in R&B. Aaliyah was only 22 years old when she died on August 25, 2001, in a plane crash in the Bahamas after filming the music video for “Rock the Boat.” Her death came at a moment when her career was reaching another level, making the loss especially devastating for fans who had watched her grow from a teenage singer into an artist with a distinct sound, image and presence of her own.
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Detroit, Aaliyah began performing at a young age and released her debut album, *Age Ain't Nothing but a Number*, in 1994. She followed it with *One in a Million* in 1996, an album that helped redefine the sound of contemporary R&B through its combination of smooth vocals, innovative production and the work of producers such as Timbaland and Missy Elliott. Her third album, *Aaliyah*, arrived in 2001 and included songs such as “We Need a Resolution,” “More Than a Woman” and “Rock the Boat.” Beyond music, she was also establishing herself as an actress, appearing in *Romeo Must Die* and later *Queen of the Damned*, showing that her ambitions extended well beyond recording studios and music videos.
What made Aaliyah so memorable was the way she carried herself. She had a quiet confidence that felt different from the larger than life personalities dominating popular music at the time, and her influence could be seen in the artists who followed. Her approach to R&B, fashion and performance helped shape the sound and visual identity of the genre in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her career lasted only a few years, but the impact she made during that short period was enormous. Aaliyah never had the opportunity to see how far her music would travel or how many artists would be influenced by her, but her work continues to introduce new generations to the artist fans lovingly remember as the Princess of R&B. Twenty five years later, Aaliyah's voice, style and legacy remain deeply embedded in popular culture. Gone far too soon, but certainly not forgotten.
@C2Cbsbl A team 20+ games below .500 better be looking to trade its hot relievers. Of course it’s not great to watch Miller dealing but trading him was the right move.

Jason Selvig: “What about Polio vaccine?”
TS: “There hasn’t been a case of Polio in how many years, since 1960?”
JS: “Since the vaccine…”
