  1. i mean hell, even DUKE got into a scuffle at the neighborhood biergarten last weekend...a four yoa male dachshund rolled up, and they were just fine until they weren't! but... they were both leashed and tiny so we just pulled lol.

    i'll say this... that dog had about 4 lbs on Duke (hey, when you're sub-10 lbs that's a lot!)... and Duke had him pinned on the ground in about 3 seconds.

  2. how do you not even mention Unforgiven?? :P (ETA this was response to Rex's list, i took too long responding lol)

     

    sigh. i've been preparing myself for a few years for the onslaught of losing some of the absolute best Hollywood has ever produced...Eastwood (95), Duvall (94, my heart will break!), Pacino (85), DeNiro (82), Nicholson (88), Freeman (89), Judi Dench (90), Dustin Hoffman (88), Ellen Burstyn (92)...

    i mean these folks are really old. and they are arguably the best ever, not just in my lifetime. 

    Hackman was on this list. he stole every scene he was in.

    weird circumstances, hopefully nothing really nefarious happened.

    Speaking at a press conference alongside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump said, "I know nothing about that," when asked about the Tate brothers' arrival in Florida.

    Before the travel ban was lifted, U.S. officials discussed the Tates' case with the Romanian government. Romanian Foreign Minister Emil Hurezeanu confirmed meeting with U.S. envoy Richard Grenell but denied that his government faced undue pressure in the matter.

    This diplomatic effort gained further attention when Grenell, President Donald Trump's U.S. envoy for special missions, met with Hurezeanu at the Munich Security Conference to discuss the case.

    Richard Grenell, the U.S. presidential envoy for special missions, told the Financial Times: "I support the Tate brothers, as evident from my publicly available tweets."

     

    either Grenell went rogue or Trump is lying.

    gee i wonder which...lol

    yep, this is us now.

    Yep. Peter Stormarme (nihilist) talks about how while filming Fargo (Grimsrud) during a first cut of a scene he said "we stop at the pancakes house" and the Coens immediately yelled 'cut'. They told him to check his script and to read it as written (we stop at pancakes house). He said when read the line he figured it was just a simple mistake by the typist to leave out the word 'the', but then understood it was intentional & integral to his character's speech patterns. He said that's when understood that not only did the Coens know every single word of their script, they considered all of them to be essential, and it was his job as an actor to deliver every word with that level of respect.

     

    i use that line anytime we are on a road trip and i'm hungry...'we stop at pancakes house!'

    cracks me up...my husband not so much b/c he's barely seen the movie once 🤣

  5. im not on Twitter and i don't even really know how to post a link from there, if it even works anymore? i tried to find another video but nothing yet, and given our new state media who knows if it will even be talked about...

    anyways, i've been doing pretty good...this is the first time in weeks i actually wept.

    well i guess that link doesn't work. so it's a vid of Trump talking about 'we're gonna be able to take down trees, you know we're so restricted environmentally, we're gonna be freeing up our forests'... and so on...

    Bwahahahahaha! We got him spiraling into meme mode again. I still can’t figure out if he’s a troll, a bot, or a truly brainwashed believer.

    Okay, this is the post that did it.  I have been trying to decide if you were just a person with a differing viewpoint, which would be perfectly fine, or if you are unintelligent and part of the MAGA cult.  Turns out, you are an unintelligent person.  First, you use the highest end of the range to try to make your point.  Strike one as being disingenuous.  Second, everyone is against fraud in government spending, except those, I guess, who are committing the fraud or profiting from it in some way.  Third, what DOGE is doing is just wantonly slashing things, mostly in the form of jobs (I suppose because everyone in business knows that payroll is your highest expense).  And, not coincidentally, they are jobs within departments that as a matter of policy the Trump administration and Republicans/conservatives don't like, like USAID and other programs that help mostly poor people. Policy differences are not the same as fraud.  That is totally illogical and, frankly, anti-democratic; strike two. Lastly, the numbers here are a very small fraction of the total budget.  Would everyone like fraud in government spending to be as low as possible?  Of course!  Is it possible for it to ever be zero?  Fuck no!  Whenever you have an organization as large and as complex as the federal government, even a vastly shrunken version of it, fraud will always be possible and it will always happen.  Total failure to understand the way the real world works - strike three.  You're out.
