  1. in all honesty, once you accept that the majority of your countrymen want what is happening, it is easier to kind of...move beyond it. Americans are shitty. i fought that notion for a very long time, in my own heart and with others who embraced that perspective long ago. i've made arguments before about our innovation and arts and independent spirit and being a force for good in the world. but...the evidence overwhelmingly disputes what i thought and felt about what my country was. so okay. and i'll just roll with it on my downslope of life. my nature still prevents me from embracing the outright cruelty and repulsiveness of our 'new' America, but i can still appreciate some good schadenfreude, i do enjoy a good point-and-laugh and 'i told you so' moment and boy do we have a lot of those! 😆 every empire in history has fallen, most from hubris, and the most cruel and loathsome often fall the hardest. we're on our way, and i'm along for the ride bc chance and the universe and my own choices have put me in this exact place and time. which, on a very micro level, is pretty sweet. so okay...i'm just here so i don't get fined.
  2. yep. pretty much. i mean it's really, dramatically heart-breaking if you think about it too much. crushing almost. and we're only two months in. i focus on family, friends, nature, sunshine and puppies. lots and lots of puppies.
  3. well this whole country is rapidly turning into one big guano island, so yeah
  4. Black Bag. tight, smart, fast little story. had a definite Oceans 11 feel. Pierce Brosnan was excellent the short time he was onscreen. Cate is just stunning, getting better looking with age. she's my favorite actress! enjoyable watch.
  5. fat chance lol she didn't even mention the booing
  6. i have very conservative, very wealthy, very well-connected with upper-echelon-gop cousins, both UT and aggy grads, several of them. it's a family joke, really...with my marriage and political views, i'm the black sheep haha 🖕😊 anyway...one of them just took a family trip to Washington DC, their wife posting pics and how awesome it all was, and they finished with an evening at the Kennedy Center with JD Vance, 'so exciting!' just...gross 😝 😆
  7. ...prefaced with 'Turn out the Lights'

    oh god, troph. i'm so sorry.
  9. they all think they're when most of them are and Elon is
  10. you know what? fuck all you surly fuckers that are jacking off to this. insanity. you have literally destroyed this country and history will record it as such. i'm grateful i'm on the downslope of life. this country is going to be...i don't even know. i don't want to know. unrecognizable. i want to be gone. i'm even more grateful i have no children. ancillary children elsewhere in my family are enough of a worry. i've done my part to help equip them best i can for the future. some may remember...my niece had wanted to be a ranger or some other role with NPS, USFS, BLM, etc, it's what she studied for, and she graduated magna cum laude...in fucking December. 🤣🤣🤣🤬 so tragic it's funny. know what job she got instead? farmer! she's getting tf out of Texas this month and will be starting a job on an independent owner-operated community farm in another state! she's been expecting this bullsht since high school. some of GenZ have been preparing for this, the resilient ones will make it.
  11. might explain some things Gene Hackman’s Children Not Mentioned in Deceased Actor’s $80M Will
  12. mchookem replied to Derka's topic in Cloak Room
    it's just getting started
  13. absolute losers. i feel no guilt ripping up every mailer without even opening it.
  14. bit behind, just finished E3 so haven't finished the thread... one thing they nailed... when two good female friends spend time together, everything is smooth, they are bff and get along great! when three good female friends spend time together...there is always a 2-1 split. always. 😆 i have lived this experience more times than i can count lol. and yes, it shifts. Mike White has nailed that female dynamic. Mook has a young Phoebe Cates thing going on, and Chloe looks like Winona Ryder. 😄 i like Chelsea, she's not the cutest but she's legitimately sweet and supportive, i'm rooting for her and Rick (with whatever happens). agree the men are stressful. PP is doing PP and it's great 😜 this one does feel different. but i'm also not really into all the new agey healing stuff either. i always imagine the people that work at these places are just faking it for the $$, to humor rich clients, they don't buy into it either.
  15. https://www.denver7.com/news/national/judge-orders-trump-to-reinstate-probationary-workers-let-go-in-mass-firings-across-multiple-agencies is this already posted in some other thread?
  16. agreed. it's also funny. these people are legitimate idiots.
  17. not just no... ...but hell no. lol
