100%. As an older Gen Xer I feel lucky to have lived through an incredible period for theatrical moviegoing. Incredible breadth and depth of subject matter and seriousness, available to everyone at the same price in every major city.
It’s incredibly sad to see it dying.

Tech is unable to show you what TV and films you might like to watch on the front menu of a streaming service (even though you give away your tastes with every digital interaction) while they’re also insisting that the same tech will be able to make vital everyday decisions for you and your country.

From the famously "woke" Cato Institute: immigrants pay far more in taxes then they receive in benefits.
(And even if this were not the case, immigrants still deserve to be treated humanely.)
(And even if this were not the case, immigrants still deserve to be treated humanely.)
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

When the shit you do to get the Epstein files off the front page becomes so disgusting you need to distract from it by releasing more Epstein files.

Nonsense. It's not possible to steal AI technology. I know this because Google's own LLMs are built using a complete copy of my legal blog, and that's somehow not stealing because, as Google says, a complete copy of my legal blog is both trivial and utterly essential for their tech to work.

For a period of a couple of years during the 2010s I was employed regularly by cattle to shoot the covers for the albums they had recorded. It was always wonderfully inspiring to witness the love, hard work and passion they had put into their music and I think that comes through in the photos.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.
Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

Emailed them about how to do this. Will update if I find out.
The Copper Hen made my wife and I's incredible wedding cake last year. They were so good to us and seeing this has me deeply emotional.
I know a lot of local businesses are having a hard time, but consider supporting them if you can. Maybe buy a gift card if you're out of state.
