The only reason a crank like this gets this treatment is because of his last name. If RFK wasn’t a Kennedy he’d be a creep in the Berkshires getting kicked out of farmer’s markets for trying to sell a cider vinegar that cures autism.
“The entire purpose of science is to search for existential truths,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told me. “It’s not subjective. It should be objective. I believe science is a place where you can find unity if you can get a conversation going.” www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
Why Is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. So Convinced He’s Right?

Kier had a presence unlike anyone on screen. Few directors knew how to use him well, all were lucky to have him steal a scene.
Out of respect for the late Udo Kier, I'm making my review of BLOOD FOR DRACULA, which focuses almost entirely on his incredible performance, free and open to the public.

This mostly shows what a complete lack of charisma the rest of the Democrats have, and how much they could have actually gotten from Trump if they weren’t a bunch of tepid freaks like Schumer and Jeffries.

It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

It’s no wonder these guys are all on on AI, its output makes them seem literate, while it makes everyone else as cognitively impaired as them.
One of the striking things in Epstein's emails is how fucking inarticulate he is, and how *every other billionaire is just as bad at communicating*.
They're the exact textual equivalents of any interview with Altman or Musk or Thiel etc just fucking babbling incoherent word salad.

Seeing these Epstein emails, I’m reminded that one reason I always thought Trump had a chance was because he tweeted like my mother in law texts.
zoomers can't read, and boomers can't write
One thing that the Epstein emails have taught me is that lots of supposedly superior intellects don't understand basic grammar.

Easy: next Bond is a charming grifter who steals the deceased’s Bond identity and gets embroiled in the action when a sinister cabal assumes actual Bond has come out of hiding, leading to his being taken in by British intelligence.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Seeing illustrators post their Harry Potter stuff, or still do work for places like the NYT is maddening. At this point you have to be obtuse or just a turd to take these jobs.

God, you could so easily reboot Star Trek by doing a rip off Hunt for Red October, a young Kirk has to convince Starfleet leadership that the Klingon ship that entered the neutral zone is not going to attack. Pike is still in command of the Enterprise, the only ship in the sector, etc, etc
what star wars really need is a HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER style submarine thriller
