I'll never understand how you can watch Everything Everywhere All At Once, watch Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu in that same movie and give the Oscar to Jamie Lee Curtis

a real filmmaker knows Texas Chainsaw Massacre is not torture porn
I'd actually argue that horror is the most Christian genre of film. Obviously that's not true of the torture porn stuff -- films in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre tradition -- but supernatural horror is often subtly Christian and sometimes very explicitly Christian. It's the only category of film where the supernatural, demons, spirits, exorcisms, the Church, etc, are consistently taken seriously. The only genre where the priest might actually be the good guy. Horror has deep roots in Christian thought and tradition.

TCM captures the stale dread and decay of a post-hippie, post industrial america. an america that is becoming conscious to the death of the american dream.

GOP continues to side with predators and pedophiles ⬇️
Amy Acton claims her mother and stepfather abused her as a child and that criminal charges were filed against them. Acton's mother says that isn't true. This conflict can easily be resolved by finding a record of the charges.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
National Review has uncovered court documents showing what they describe as an "extensive record" of abuse by Acton's mother. They also point to Donna Arthur's own criminal history, including a 1996 guilty plea to theft and 2021 animal abuse accusation. nationalreview.com/news/amy-acton… ujsportal.pacourts.us/Report/CpDocke… smry.ai/www.centredail…

definitely encourage everyone to Google "Amy Acton Mother Predator"
BOMBSHELL: Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter. “My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America. I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life. My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that. Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.” That’s one hell of an October surprise.

Acton's mother lost custody of her children after years of documented issues, including time spent living in a tent and a spouse who sexually abused her daughter Amy (Acton). Amy Acton's brother has also confirmed this story. x.com/amyactonoh/sta… wkbn.com/news/local-new… time.com/collections/co… vindyarchives.com/news/2019/aug/… 614now.com/2020/culture/c… actonforgovernor.com/meet-amy/

investigative journalism ⬇️ key findings: churches exist where population centers
Adam Hamilton’s Church of the Resurrection has 9 campuses across Greater Kansas City. I took a look at the neighborhoods they sit in by income. (Metro median household income: roughly $83–84K). 1/6

There is no afterlife, no cosmic justice, and no inherent purpose. Consciousness ends at death in an indifferent universe that will outlast every human concern.

this is why its important for immigrants to assimilate
Calm down. I doubt anything will come of the Ilhan Omar deportation stunt but she obviously at minimum shouldn’t be allowed to hold office in America because she’s an anti-American shit-stirrer and also probably a fraudster. Why shouldn’t naturalized citizens be stripped of their citizenship if they hold views that actively go against the interests of the majority and sow racial discord? If there could actually be an honest inquest into her “ideas” and activities, I would even take the L and volunteer myself for self-deportation provided I could take my son and they sent us to Moscow and not some bumblefuck globalist shithole like Tbilisi or Yerevan.

not the point, but its insane they call marshall "Doc". trying to force a wild west masculinity that is nowhere to be found
WOW! Audio of Roger Marshall’s chief of staff talking on taxpayer time about how much he and Marshall hate the NRSC (who hates them) but the NRSC will be forced to save them like it or not. It’s from 2020. Wonder how much things have changed in six years?

It's crazy that there's a tool out there that's become vital to they way I do my job, parent my kids, and make major life decisions; and yet we barely spend more on it than AI
TIL that global spending on alcohol is still larger than AI infrastructure spending this year ($1.7T vs $1.5T)

“As some folks may have seen, there was a post on social media regarding an unpaid 2020 cookie bill.” Instant classic
As some folks may have seen, there was a post on social media regarding an unpaid 2020 cookie bill. We have absolutely no idea how this happened, but rest assured as soon as it became known to us, we immediately attempted to contact the business in order to apologize, and we have repaid the bill from 2020, double.

Multiple attempts to get paid were ignored: "For nearly a year, I made repeated attempts to collect payment, reaching out by phone and email. I never received a return phone call, and the invoice was never paid." facebook.com/holly.thomas.1…

the developing Talarico Derangement Syndrome and Marshall Derangement Syndrome has been fun to witness. hope some of the libs reflect as well
And there it is. Evidence is growing stronger by the day that my sources were correct and Talarico was in a mental health facility.
