New pricing tiers at national parks based on who you are and where you come from is EXTREMELY Nazi stuff
The Trump administration is raising national parks' prices and adding fees for international tourists from next year in an "America-first" initiative, the Interior Department announced.

The Interior Department said the "America-first" policy will see "resident-only patriotic fee-free days" on some holidays.

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

As someone who loves Hosoda's work normally, I was shocked just how much I hated just-about every aspect of this film. Awful writing, shocking pacing, janky animation, superfluous sequences and a rather irresponsible viewpoint on the issues he's alluding to in his imagery
Mamoru Hosoda's Scarlet is destined to be a blemish on the acclaimed director's body of work. Poor writing, misguided subject matter, and baffling visuals culminate in a total miss.

Read on for our full review.

Chris Pine’s professional acting career began at 23 so there goes that theory
no i have been a professional artist since i was 17 years old it is only job or income source i have ever had and i have done well at that. i understand that some people find someone talkin on this off putting but personally i think it is more off putting if i were to lie about this. i am very lucky
Dr. Tingle, are you able to pay all living expenses completely on book income or do you receive support from a spouse or family?

I ask because I personally don't have a "day job" due to chronic illness but I do have to rely on family to pay the bills

Rental Family: Funny how all it takes to turn the premise of The Rehearsal Season 1 cutesy is fictionalizing it and adding sappy music.

This was good, though! Not great, but good.

Best part of this is how it's based on preposterously *favorable* revenue assumptions: by 2030, ChatGPT will go from 20m to 300m paying users, producing a 16x increase in revenue.

And still OpenAI would be deep in the red.

You know what’s sexier than getting attacked by a yak?

How about the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away WITH MIND BULLETS!
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

"The White House isn't sure whether Trump actually had a phone call or just imagined it" is where we are on the dementia scale now.
An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II:

- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”

- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Bolsonaro White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro
Did the Republican president talk to Bolsonaro as the Brazilian plotted to escape? Trump said yes, but the White House isn’t so sure.

I think he misread, and it said “beef tallow smoothies”…which, well, I have questions. But I’m not sure I want the answers. I’ll just sit here and [[[[shudder]]]] instead.
Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."
