Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
austingirl replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
Haven't read this whole thread yet, but for the "he was just trying to have an open debate" crowd, do you really think that there's any info you could've presented to him that would've been met with actual discussion? Any facts that would've changed his mind? It's not debate if one side insists on their viewpoint regardless of evidence that says otherwise. (Obviously none of that justifies violence.) -

I listened to her on Amy Poehler's podcast a few weeks ago. They were pretty funny together, but I cannot listen to her voice for long stretches of time. She swears it's really how she talks, and I realize the irony of being from southeast TX and shitting on someone else's accent, but her voice is about 10 levels up from anything you hear in the Golden Triangle.

The Great Outdoors is my favorite movie from when I was a kid - we recorded it off TV at some point in the late 80s/early 90s, and watched that tape a couple times a year until some point in the early 2000s when my parents moved on to Blu Ray and I had gone to college. I wish they still had the tape just because of the commercials, but alas, it is no more. The good news is that we've been able to stream it and now my kids have seen it and love it. He was such a treasure, and it still weirds me out that I'm now older than he was when he died.

I liked both versions of Goodnight Mommy (the German one's still better) and agree with you on the thousand yard stare after The Lodge. Riley Keough is amazing in it.

Was anyone wondering how Fox News is sharing the news about the job numbers? I got you. Here's the page above the fold: Maybe it's on the second screen? Nope! Maybe the third screen? Still no, just random shit about a 30-yo murder and some ads. Keep scrolling? And there it is, all the way down in the middle. Fair, balanced, and definitely focused on the right things.

Wedding of the Year 2026: Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce

Love them together. This is going to get more press than Charles and Diana's wedding. -
I firmly maintain that this is the best Motown song ever: But if I were to accept arguments, this would be a close second:

If anyone is (rightfully) concerned about the dog's fate, I went ahead and looked up that spoiler for you.

These motherfuckers. To paraphrase Father Nathan Monk: I hope that when they die, every one of these assholes is greeted by the gay angelic men's choir, which consists of every person who died of AIDS or was kicked out of their homes by their families, and while being serenaded by Born this Way, are escorted by Matthew Shephard to Jesus to be judged by their own deeds. In more heartening news, people have already gone out and painted over the black with chalk.

Horror movie told from the dog's POV, got raves at SXSW. It should go without saying that I'm in on opening weekend.

Our kids were 12 and 16 when Rocket died and they were at the vet with us. It's hard, of course, but they understood what a lovely thing it is to be there for your pet when they take their last breath. Rocket got to go out with all his humans petting him and telling him they loved him. We should all be so lucky.
