Didn't vote for Trump in 2016.
Didn't vote for Trump in 2020.
Didn't vote for Trump in 2024.
Think I'm right-wing?
You're wrong.
(Didn't vote Dem either.)
@zerohedge The more I think about a rate cut, the more I don't like it.
Keep people trapped in NY and CA. Don't give them a way out.
We don't want them continuing to infect the rest of the populace.
@reason The reason children aren't allowed certain places in America isn't because of the children.
It's because of the parents.
Be responsible, keep your child well attended, exit the venue when they start a tantrum.
Then you can earn back the privileges you've lost for good reason.
@post_liberal I just re-read The Chronicles of Prydain, which I read for the first time in 3rd or 4th grade.
Or, over 40 years ago.
While the current generation is not unique for how they venerated the source material, they are for how they expect YOU to also worship it.
@post_liberal The difference is, we read Roald Dahl, and then read lots of other authors.
Kids today are reading Harry Potter... And nothing else. It's not a gateway to other kid lit. It's a fixation that parents aren't breaking kids out of.
@chrisspangle Streaming overcomitted during the pandemic and the services became too many with too little quality.
People would rather watch good legacy content than suffer through figuring out if something new is even worthwhile.
@DanielJHannan Compassion means caring about other people.
The left mistakes that it means caring *FOR* other people.
You can do the former without doing the latter, and in most cases get much better outcomes.
@AP4Liberty Grow old gracefully.
Those that have done so fare so much better than those who fight it with dyes, botox, and surgery.
Diane Keaton is a prime example of someone who looked great at every stage of her career. Never had any work done. More should follow that example.
@seanmdav Nearly 1/3 of America's land mass spoke a language other than English before we annexed those territories.
And let's not even start on the number of 20th century immigrants who never learned English. Boston's North End is full of them. Still.
Just watched Dial of Destiny for the third time.
When you're completely rid of expectations, the film works well.
The action scenes are still poorly filmed and edited, but as a whole, it gave Indiana Jones the send-off he deserved.
@EddieTrunk There's other elements here:
1. Concert support wages went way up post pandemic because of unpredictable work.
2. Insurance costs also went through the roof.
3. The secondary market isn't just scalping. The ticket sellers hold back tons of tickets to gauge demand and arbitrage.
@erikkain@Forbes I just watched it again. The fact that there are direct quotes from the original novel make me very optimistic that this will hew closely to the original text...
Which was sadly all too prescient 40 years ago.
@RolexGmtN408T@nickgerli1 What's happening with bonds is a factor of the government spending, and is exactly why we should not have a central banking system.
These two things should not be tied together, at all.
@BamaDude77@erikkain@Forbes Superman III and IV were terrible.
Superman Returns was horrible casting all around, and a truly lame plot and premise.
Both Snyder films were not good. Cavill, Costner & Lane were well cast, and the 'early years' of Clark's life were good, but Crowe & Eisenberg were awful.
@mellowship52264 @erikkain@Forbes Superman's best asset is that despite being "perfect", he too has flaws and makes bad decisions, especially at a personal level.
That's what made the first two Reeve films work.
And why nothing else has since.
