It's all so brainless I can't imagine this brain rot continuing.
Lara Logan just broke down a pattern that hits different once you see it. They keep creating problems that can never actually be solved: racism that’s “unconscious,” masculinity as inherently toxic, CO2 as the enemy even though we breathe it out, and differences turned into permanent grievances. The goal? Issues without end. Skin color can’t change. Breathing can’t stop. Masculine instinct doesn’t vanish. So the problems stay… and so does the control. It’s not about fixing anything. It’s about keeping the fight alive so we stay divided and easier to manage. Once you spot the tactic, everything gets clearer. What “unsolvable problem” have you noticed getting pushed the hardest lately?

Sandy Koufax tried to supplement his Dodgers salary and purchased the "Tropicana Motel" in 1962. The motor lodge, with low weekly rates and kitchenettes in all 74 rooms, was built as short and long-term housing, for those who couldn’t afford apartments. The rich and famous, though, didn’t patronize “Sandy Koufax’s Tropicana Motel” as Koufax had hoped. Jim Morrison of the Doors liked to drink way too much at the "The Palms", a low-rent lesbian bar across the street from the Tropicana. Jim would then stumble back across Santa Monica Boulevard and pass out at the Tropicana. Tom Waits lived at the Tropicana for nine years with a Steinway upright piano jammed into his room’s kitchenette. Van Morrison wrote “T.B. Sheets” and other songs while staying there and Big Brother & the Holding Company, Bob Marley & the Wailers, Alice Cooper all worked out of, and lived in, the Tropicana. As did Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett, Blondie, and Tom Petty.

Mishima in the middle of The Temple of Dawn suddenly breaks into a thirty page discourse on the origin and history of the theory of metempsychosis or transmigration of the soul which is better than almost any book you can read on it

Passion covered the crucifixion of Christ and this new film dramatizes the miracle of his triumph over death. The trilogy will end with the third film where Christ teams up with a wisecracking detective who learns a lesson about friendship when the pair meets an alien space girl who lives in a haunted house.
That's a wrap on The Resurrection of the Christ — Mel Gibson's long-awaited sequel to The Passion of the Christ. After a massive 134-day shoot across Italy, director Mel Gibson took a microphone on set to personally thank the cast and crew for completing principal photography on the film, which has been over 20 years in development. The audio captured him saying: "Since I'm all yours here and I've got a microphone... I just want to tell you all thank you so much for all your efforts, your support, your sacrifice, your love, the encouragements all through, the prayers and intercessions, thank you all for everything great and everything “small”, in the end it was all worth it. Now it’s time to make sure the Lord gets glorified in all of this."

One of the greatest threats to internet freedom and privacy are these manipulative laws, now spreading, that force people to prove they're of a certain age to use social media platforms and other sites. The UK Government, naturally, is now seeking this. The defense of these laws is emotionally powerful by appealing to child protection, but the real goal is online surveillance, an end to anonymity, and control over political content that young people can access. Few have done a better job reporting on these tyrannical threats than @TaylorLorenz. Read this:
“Instead of addressing the known causes of strife among young people, politicians around the world seem intent on leveraging their suffering to push laws that will strip both young and old alike of our rights.”

Never forget that @EpochTimes great @JoshJPhilipp ran a whole inventigative doc about the Wuhan lab leak in April of 2020. youtube.com/watch?v=3bXWGxhd…
We now know Dr. Fauci had deep ties to the intelligence community that predate the COVID pandemic. Think about what that means. When the question of whether this virus came from a lab first arose, one man was positioned to shape the answer across science, intelligence, and public opinion. He steered the narrative away from the lab leak theory because he knew the NIH was funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

THREAD Saw the new Earth Wind and Fire doc listed on HBO Max. Disappointed it's a Questlove film. I haven't enjoyed his other movies. It feels like he's always reaching for a bigger social theme to articulate, but then just misses giving us the best take on his actual subject.

In Summer of Soul one of the talking heads that he always uses in most predictable doc trope you can manage, mentions how the discovered footage of the concert series was supposed to be a black Woodstock kind of film. QL doesn't clock that he could've stayed focused on assembling a black Woodstock instead of having a bunch of commentators constantly interrupting the music to spout obvious takes on civil rights and social justice etc.

He did the same thing with his Sly Stone film where a bunch of less talented people are constantly interrupting amazing footage of the band doing their thing. Again he misses the obvious. Sly specifically rejects the idea of black genius to reinforce his vision of racial harmony embodied by his integrated band featuring both men and women. But QL makes the whole movie a discussion about black genius instead of letting viewers experience what made Sly and the band so great. I'm pretty sure he'll fumble this EWaF story as well.

I was told today by a 17-year-old that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without Al. Dude, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

Group stage is where the surprise upsets blindside the world. Plus it's like constant soccer all over the continent.
I love the group stages cause some of the most unexpected futbol happens

Friendship reminded me of this
THE CABLE GUY [1996] Directed by Ben Stiller Without question, this is simply one of the most underrated comedies ever made. Intelligent, deceptively dark, and absolutely hilarious. One of my most-quoted movies, easily. I love, love, love this movie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
