[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

I want to do an entire Every Arnold Movie Ever episode just on this clip.

[Stephen Gibbons @Gibboanxious]

James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger are having a Zoom chat, until Arnold's beer mug hilariously brings the conversation to a sudden stop.

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

This is a perfect, bespoke joke written just for me (and a couple hundred others).

[Brandon Streussnig @BrndnStrssng]

Governor Walz, do you support Genius Artist Cesar Catalina and his Design Authority’s dream of using bio-adaptive material Megalon to propel us into the future or will you stand behind Mayor Frank Cicero and his regressive policies? You have two minutes.

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

@CursetheGods I really hit a wall with these last couple movies! The next ep is shot and mostly edited, should be out this month!

[Variety @Variety]

“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised," Liam and Noel Gallagher said in a statement announcing the Oasis reunion. https://t.co/T9b9YvUyNf

This won't be comprehensive unless they cover the Fashion Peaks parody.

That gum you like is going to come back in style.

OUR DAVID LYNCH SERIES STARTS THIS SUNDAY 8/25 WITH ERASERHEAD.

[David Lynch @DAVID_LYNCH]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking. I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco - the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them - but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema. I have now quit smoking for over two years. Recently I had many tests and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire.

I want you all to know that I really appreciate your concern.

Love,

David

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

@BrianRDJames I'm so happy for him! And we did have a great run, I'm proud of all we were able to accomplish. Excited to see where it all goes next.

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

@GregBeuke Thanks for sticking with it! Just when I thought I was out...

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

Remember when Arnold made a heavy drama about a man dealing with the tragedy of his family dying in a plane crash? You do?? Congrats, you're one of the few. Let's talk AFTERMATH! | Every Arnold Movie Ever 37 https://t.co/90hl5RSA1n

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

It's time to talk ESCAPE PLAN! Was there any juice left to squeeze out of a Stallone-Schwarzenegger team-up after The Expendables? https://t.co/JDzRBIkdHP

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

@GregBeuke That's fair! After watching this latest batch of movies, I tend to prefer the ones where he takes more risks (even if they fail), but Last Stand is pretty much the last of the old school Arnold action roles.

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

Every Arnold Movie Ever Season 4 kicks off with THE LAST STAND! Arnold's first post-Governor movie from 2013 meant to kickstart his comeback! (Spoiler: it didn't) https://t.co/g4MsiZZ1bf

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

It's nearly impossible to pull off a "supernatural" gimmick, but he was 100% committed to it and always sought to add depth to his character and challenge audiences. They gleefully went along for the ride.

[Stephen Guerrieri @nerdwithwords]

Awful. I worked with Bray since his early Wyatt days at NXT. From the start, he was a compelling performer, knew his character inside out, and believed it to his core. We'd go in the woods behind Full Sail to shoot vignettes & he'd conjure up fully-formed character-driven promos.

[ESPN @espn]

Former WWE champion Bray Wyatt died Thursday at the age of 36, WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque announced on social media.
