    CPAC is being held in DC, but DeSantis declined and is coming to Texas. Most of the folks who support the DC speakers (of which Trump is one) and DeSantis in Texas won't care about the lack of attendees anyway because they'll never see those videos.

    That's a Yorgos Lanthimos' movie and absurdist seems very appropriate. But his POV is really quite, I'm not sure how to describe it exactly, but it holds my attention. The Favorite is another of his. He's got Poor Things coming out later this year and I read recently it got tagged with an 'R' rating and the topic may have some folks grabbing their pearls but I'm curious to see how they adapted the novel.

    I haven't always agreed with your thoughts on the population decline thread, but I appreciate you doing your part to allow for elbow room. I kid. I kid. Really though: best of luck to you on your journey. You're doing it for yourself and those you love and that is a great start. You've got a good attitude and just keep taking it one day at a time.

    Public schools are for patriots. Charter schools are for politicians.

    Another appointee is DeSantis donor and attorney, Mike Sasso. He's president of the Orlando chapter of the Federalist Society. Another one is the son of a two time Clearwater mayor, Brian Aungst Jr. he's the one on the left back in 2016. Last one is Martin Garcia, a Tampa lawyer. I believe DeSantis picked him to be the chair. Garcia, through his private investment firm Pinehill Capital, donated 50K to the governor.

    Another nominee is Bridget Ziegler, she is a Sarasota school board member, founder of a conservative group called Moms for Liberty, and married to the chairperson of the Florida Republican party. Inserting a specific agenda (she served in an advisory role in the Don't Say Gay legislation) into a private corporation's business is such a conservative ideal don't you think? Disney could say they want to bake a cake for all and the board could hold up permitting for park expansion or any other of punitive actions that serve to censor Disney's decision making. Much freedom, much separation between state and church, much bullshit.

    Dahm is the Tea Party performative asshat who filed a bill on Earth Day to ban paper straws in Oklahoma. I could go on, but it's too far off topic to list some of his other grandstanding idiocy. He'll probably be a major player in the Christian Nationalist administration.

    Tap water? Ron Peri runs The Gathering USA, a men's ministry. Edit: He is also an engineer. Degree from Rutgers. Something something @BrickHorn's comment regarding engineers comes to mind.

    Following WWII there were around 2.5 billion people on the planet. China had around 570 million which has grown to 1.4 Billion, India had ~376 million which has grown to almost equal China. The U.S. has grown from around 158 million to 336 million. High Plains Drifter's comments about economists and the reliance on birthing consumers is spot on.

    Does this mean he goes to regular prison or does he still get the posh prison for the well-heeled murdering types?

    It had a very solid ensemble cast. I love the work of Claire Foy in everything I've seen her in thus far.

    That was a good watch. Also, guess who received money from the gun lobby? Yep. More than once.

    The bit where E.W. says he's never seen the Board ignored? I watched most of that video posted by the fellow in Bastrop that lives near the new Boring/Space X sites and his video is full of FOIA docs showing where they're ignoring several state agencies w/respect to permitting and other violations. Elon doesn't give a shit about rules--those are for people who aren't him, aren't wealthy, and so on. His fanbois are delusional enough to believe they can join Elon's club but it doesn't work like that. Cults never do. Elon likes to consider himself an 'outlaw,' which in a way he is. But that description always comes with a caveat: ask yourself whether this is an outlaw for the weak and powerless or just a thief.

    I hope you watch it. More men watching and listening (instead of talking) about this topic is not a bad thing in this world. Spoilered for comments.

    AKA "PNC shut down the account because they had no wish to be a party to fraud and other illegal activities such as money laundering, etc. but were too polite to say that explicitly."

    The curriculum also rejects evolution I believe.

    IIRC, their cases began climbing in late 2021 to 2022 (don't know how much the Olympics played a part in that). Speculating, but perhaps some folks were opting to use family planning due to the uncertainties?

    If you have time, would you mind elaborating? Perhaps behind a spoiler for those who prefer not to see too much discussion, but I've been listening to comments about it good and bad and it being very polarizing (that was the term used in an article) with folks either loving it or hating it. I kinda remember some similar reactions when Chazelle's La La Land premiered so I'm curious about your take beyond the it is a pile of shit. Spoilered here for some additional commentary:

    Guess it’s a good thing Elon has all those “buckle-bros” at his rodeo in Austin then. They can all just get together and “giga”. Win-win. NTTAWWT

    If he is as addicted to opioids as they've said, I believe it can cause a certain myopia/tunnel vision and he had way too many loose ends with which to deal once he started down that path. I also believe that the family had so much sway for so long that they got the benefit of the doubt--the 'he's from a good family' trope that many lower socioeconomic defendants do not receive--the 'he's trailer trash/no good family' trope. I don't buy the phantom shooter line of thought at all. Vanishes w/o a trace? No. This is a chicken coming home to roost.

    I want to comment, but I can't stop laughing.

    I wish that Stephen Smith's death in 2015 had been investigated thoroughly and dispassionately because it sure seemed like something weird went on there. I mean, calling the family the next day to offer your services for free? Other inconsistencies....

    Resembles John Goodman, too. We're talking about unchecked aggression here, Dude!

    IMO, Lil Nas did it better at the VMAs. Would've had the former president in a slightly longer curlier version myself. Obama has a strong jaw and could carry that look well.
