"A rave of a movie that acts as its own hallucinogen, best experienced on a huge screen with a state-of-the art sound system. If they’d played it again right after I saw it for the first time, I would have gladly stayed in my seat." My **** review of TRON: Ares. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/tron...

TRON: Ares movie review & film summary (2025) | Roger Ebert

“TRON: Ares” is spectacularly designed, swiftly paced, thoughtfully written, and directed within an inch of its neon-hued life.

Trump to exercise monarchic whim and illegally re-direct appropriations is how the headline should read.

Just again, spending and appropriations is a core power of Congress, not subject to the Executive's whims.

US military action is done with the American people’s money in the American people’s name, as is DOJ. The people’s elected representatives in Congress have oversight authority. They are 100% entitled to this info.

You know who doesn’t have to disclose legal advice? Personal attorneys and advisors.

COONS: How did you conclude that these strikes on boats in the open ocean are legal?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any legal advice that my department may or may not have issued

Since the election, Republicans refused to negotiate at all with Democrats - on anything. But now we are told that the Democrats should give in negotiate in good faith.

I’d love to hear Captain Williard’s narration of Pete Hegseth’s full on Kubrickian General Ripper Warfighting meltdown in Virginia today. Princeton must be so proud one of their own went full STRANGELOVE. Our military top brass must be filled with such resolve. “Quantico. Shhhhhhit…”
