con'td:
-Hillary wants to replace Joe
-Obama & his posse will not support this
-They're not really sure if they can swing the technical ballot changes if Biden doesn't go willingly or die
-They're going to work really, really hard to start a major military conflict because they need an epic distraction and there are doubts that the "bird flu" will be adequate
And the country is hosed, regardless.
Eh, it ain't worth much - just my best guesses.

Knowing absolutely nothing, having not actually watched the debate, not caring all that much, and offering worthless speculation:
-They want Joe to step down willingly - it's better optics and less risky
-I bet Joe would be wiling to step down
-Jill won't have it
-Obama & some others want to make a public show of supporting him, but it's just a show
-There will be threats against Hunter this weekend to leverage Joe to step down
-Jill couldn't care less about Hunter

Can't say it wasn't a valiant effort.
And that "Cat at 2 am" song has been stuck in my head all day.

He he called us to storm the White House yet?

But make sure you send them more money! Ha ha, it's charming when JCD is a prick! Don't forget to donate!

Oh no, we'll miss JCD's meaningful contributions to NA.S. Oh, wait, basically he just came here to steal memes for his "give us your money you a-holes" newsletter.
These guys really are the worst.

And you know what . . . I bet CSB won't be at the meetup.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
Vote for CSB!!

I gotta say, CSB really ought to pay @npub12t6…y07h - he's gotta be the best hype man on the Fedi.

Who thinks the RNC will use the "convicted felony" as an excuse to scratch Trump from their ticket and name someone like Desantis or Haley as their candidate?

The Long Voyage Home (1940). It's a young John Wayne playing a Swedish fisherman, and it works! It also features Ward Bond and the usual John Ford regulars in a very different kind of movie. Often poetic, wonderfully shot, and even haunting at times, on the surface a story of fisherman trying to get home before war breaks out, but also a metaphor about life, loneliness, and sacrifice. All without getting too abstract or maudlin. An oft overlooked John Ford gem.

Another bad batch of discs, this one for Star Trek TNG.
😡
They're just poorly authored discs. I've cleaned them and polished them, but the disc after disc there's one or two or three episodes that won't rip.
I hate this - and because they sell them in huge sets you're usually several discs in before you realize it's a bad set.
This is the negative side of physical media.
Blah.

Well, that one's in keeping with the tone of the very last scene . . .

I'm sure "They Live!" was on a budget and wasn't looking to spend any extra on a licensed song for the end credits. If one were to replace the somewhat generic end credit song with something else, what should it be?
Please boost for visibility.

Also, we know they pay people to do this kind of stuff. So the question is - is this guy such a chode that he did it for free? Or is he such an amoral, spineless, traitor to the human race that he did it for $25?

Yeah - I haven't watched this since I was . . . eight, maybe? I don't remember a whole lot. This pass through I'm realizing how really, really heavy handed they were with the Nazi/Jew analogy. A little subtlety would have gone a long way.

2024-05-21 06:01:20

The funny thing about the 1983 "V" mini-series - they're clearly doing an analogy with the aliens standing in as the Nazis and, of all people, scientists standing in as the Jews. But it's just so ridiculous it doesn't really work. Watching this kid walking home all beat up because she won the science fair, and the bullies called her "A dirty little scientist's kid" - sorry, but I can't not crack up at that.

Some of y'all really don't know how much you're messing me up by changing your avatars. I mean, @npub1df2…z6ss is fine because he changes his about every 3 to 4 days. But other folks who've had the same one for months or years and then just up and change it - you're expecting my old brain to be too agile.

Did we find the secret alt-Adam account?

I have a Rottweiler and am considering switching to homemade food. There are a ton of recipes online - does anyone have any tips or recommendations? Also not sure how much to feed him - don't want him becoming a fattie, which is a problem with Rotties.

The only reason I voted for him last time was the hope that it got me 4 years of breathing room. Which it almost did. Anything after that was gravy.
If only he had thrown bigger monkey wrenches which might create lasting damage, I'd have been happy with him. If he was REALLY a 4D chess super genius, he would have SUPPORTED the California talk about secession that happened early on. But instead he was hiring people like Scaramucci. 🤦‍♂️

Joe Biden hates me, my kids, and my heritage. Trump may be a fool, a braggart, ineffective, and a poor judge of character, but he does not hate me, my kids, or my heritage. In fact, in his crude way, he's shown a sort of instinctual fondness for traditional America and blue collar Americans.
While there's little Trump could actually do even if he was elected and actually made it into office, it would be the coldest day in hell before I would consider Biden on the same level as Trump.

At this point it's just a grand competition amongst all these companies and studios on who can make the dumbest decision. Between Amazon and Rings of Power, Disney and their Lucasfilm/Marvel atrocities as well as their own horrific animated movies, Sony with their non-Spider-Man Spider-Verse, and Warner Brothers with their never-ending DC Debacle . . . truly this is a competitive playing field.

Are you talking about Olive Garden again?

I say this because the path to return to some semblance of civilization is to revive many of the traditions and ideas that first came from the ancient (pagan) Greeks and which were perfected under the guiding hand of folks like St. Thomas Aquinas. Christendom grew out of Pagan Rome and Greece, and Aristotle and Cicero have much to offer modern man.
Or, I guess lets just blame paganism and feel good about ourselves.

I'm not condemning Christendom. Nor am I trying to say that Rome was better than Medieval Europe. I'm just making the case that we Western men, today, are some of the most depraved people to ever walk the earth, and it doesn't score us any points to lay the blame at the foot of paganism. If anything, we are now well below the high water mark that some pagan cultures reached.

Honestly, pagans get a bad rap. If we could be half as civilized as the ancient Greeks or even the Romans we'd be a lot better off than we currently are. That those guys get lumped into the same bag as the Aztecs and Incans and Druids isn't really fair.
But it IS going to be brutal in the near future. That's for sure.

Thanks for the tip! I have used toothpaste on some scratched up DVDs, which actually worked (to my complete and absolute surprise), but I think Blu-Rays are too delicate for the old Crest method.
Will definitely pick up a bottle of Polish #2!

Just tried to rip a Blu-Ray and it couldn't read the file - took the disc out (which I had taken straight out of the packaging) and the bottom of the disc looked like a teenager used it as an Oxypad. Cleaned it off and now it reads fine.
I don't want to know what some people are doing with their DVDs/Blu-rays. Danger of buying used on eBay, I guess.
