I’ve been rebuilding my DVD collection precisely because I can’t trust corporations to keep anything alive. Thrift stores are a great place to find cheap DVDs (many titles that in some cases are worth much more than they are charging) if you’re browsing; eBay if you have something specific in mind.
I feel seen.
Ignore the "DVD" in the title, by the way. It's become a generic term to indicate physical media for the lay person.

I lived in China for a bit. It’s not a democracy, but it IS years ahead of the U.S. and this gap will only continue to grow exponentially. Project 2025 talked extensively about shoring up defenses against China, but that thread seems to have been dropped.

There’s an urban myth that there aren’t any motorcycle helmet laws in IL because the #AMA is in Chicago & they want more organ donors.
I think that’s an absurd conspiracy theory, but it sure makes me wonder why they’re so quiet about the #OBBB and all the people who are set to die because of it.

For anyone who has already been vaccinated and wonders whether they are still immune: a simple blood test can tell you.
Ask your doctor to run your titers (you can get these done at a CVS or other similar clinic as well) so that if you aren’t immune to can get revaccinated (while you still can).
