Every single last Democrat who rolled over today and allowed this to happen needs to be primaried out of office during their next election. No exceptions.

You are a coward. Please stop running for office and make way for someone who actually knows how to fight for the American people, instead of making performative speeches and then rolling over every time you get any sort of pushback.
Go find a hole to retire into and leave us in better hands.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

The sexiest thing a movie can do is drop a title card 10 to 25 minutes into the film.

I don't care how many times Gavin Newsom trolls Trump on social media and thumbs his nose at the administration's gestapo tactics.
At the end of the day, Newsom is still a transphobe who hates poor people. Actions speak louder than tweets.

Zaslav also killed a MANIAC COP miniseries for HBO that was to be directed by John Hyams, written by Ed Brubaker, and produced by William Lustig & Nicolas Winding Refn.
It was deep into prep. Location scouting and casting were about to kick off when Zaslav pulled the plug.

Chuck Schumer has regularly revealed himself to be a spineless piece of shit for ages now, so let's not be surprised when he continues to act that way now.
Do us a favor, New York, and stop re-electing him!

Rolled over slightly to grab a remote that had fallen. My whole back cracked from almost top to bottom like a glowstick.
I feel amazing right now. Pure bliss. It truly is the little things.

Saw a random FB post by someone saying "I decided to finally watch all of the Alien/Predator movies. I'm watching Predator 2 right now and it's a piece of shit. Do I need to finish it to understand the rest?"
Buddy, if you can't even get through Predator 2, that's going to be a very rough journey.

Been reworking an old outline off and on throughout the day. Once it's in good shape, I'll think I'll finally write the book. My current (lofty) goal is a completed rough draft by the start of January.
There are still 37 working days left in 2025 - 58 days total. There's still plenty of time to hit that writing goal & finish that script or book.
3 pages a day - just 750 words a weekday - and you can write a complete script. 4 pages a day - 1000 wds a day - and you can write a novel. You got this.
