I just saw Warfare (2025). Holy crap. This is definitely in my top 5 war movies now. It's like Generation Kill and Blackhawk Down and Paths of Glory only more dark and intense with less Hollywood pizazz.

So the federal, jack-booted-thugs are arresting mayors now. I assume Governors, and members of Congress will be next. #fascism

Checking out "Government Cheese" on AppleTV+. Enjoying the witty banter, cinematography, and physical comedy. It kind of reminds me of the Coen Brothers.

A reminder for those people struggling with that feel like they aren't making a difference.
