“2001” in 70 mm at the Paramount in Austin, late 1990s
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Lol the US just abandoned their effort to get mad at the guy that threw Bolsonaro in prison. Big "my toddler tantrum didn't get me nothing so we're done here" energy.

"I'll tell you the funniest thing. I'll go backstage before a Miss Teen USA show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything and no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it.
You know, I'm inspecting. The girls (14 - 16) are standing there with no clothes on. And you see these incredible looking women [teens], and so, l sort of get away with thinas like that" - Trump](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d3hpltud2g2yh2chf3f6c2dx/bafkreihw73n6qv7loq7n2scvs3643tsmz6nemakzri4eendqzhaytptgvy@jpeg)

Oh, hey, can we finally admit Barron Trump is also a piece of shit or does he still have the "he was 12 once and he never grew older in my head" defense squad?
WATCH: New reporting from the New York Times reveals Andrew Tate’s release from Romania—where he faced rape and human trafficking charges—may have involved powerful allies, including Barron Trump. Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter Megan Twohey joins to discuss.

"In the first Trump administration, the family separation policy became a scandal. Now, ICE and border patrol agents are routinely separating parents from children, even to the point of ripping nursing infants from their mothers. Do you feel safer now? I feel deeply ashamed."

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I was mailing a package at the post office after a 20 minute wait in line. I was a few seconds from completing my purchase when an elderly woman in line fainted. My clerk turned out to be a former paramedic and he beat me to her (he saw the fall). She is okay. I am okay after a 10’ delay.
