Objectively true.
How to Make a Good Movie:

Use one of the following hooks

Ship hunting submarine
Submarine hunting ship
Submarine hunting other submarine

If your movie is not set on a submarine, ask yourself why you hate good movies, change to submarine

So they’re arresting members of the press now for covering the very events they instigated. And of course to prevent more coverage.

Saw a sign a while back that borrowed from the Martin Niemöller poem:

“First they came for the press. We don’t know what happened after that.”

@jamesgunn.bsky.social - Dr Anj is - to coin another company’s phrase - a True Believer. Your Supergirl celebrations would only be enhanced by having Anj involved. Please look up his blog; he’s definitely put in the hard yards.
Hello @jamesgunn.bsky.social
Been a huge fan of #Supergirl and been running a fan site for 17 years.
Would love to be part of the #SupergirlMovie celebration !

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

At the dinner table tonight, we were talking about possible Marvel movies and someone mentioned Black Widow, and my 80-year-old mother-in-law said oh will they bring back everyone from Every Which Way But Loose? and I have to applaud this deepest of cuts

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each.

If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

One of the ripples caused by ICE’s horrific actions is the need for people to open their houses to pets of victims of abductions.

Please consider helping my friend raise money to take care of some of these pets!

NEW: Police—sheriffs, Texas state cops, and even ICE—can follow the location of your smart phone without a warrant.

Yet, we know little about how this software has been used.

Texas Police Invested Millions in a Shadowy Phone-Tracking Software. They Won’t Say How They’ve Used It.
One sheriff who leads an anti-smuggling task force says the software helps “develop leads to eventually obtain probable cause.” Civil liberties experts say its use violates constitutional rights.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
