  1. Going Zero - by Anthony McCarten (2023) (Audio)

    Meh.  Great idea for a novel.  Starts out fine, cleverness peters out in the last 1/3.  Dialogue stilted.  Narrator on audio not great.  Technology perfunctory.  (Probably sexist, but women narrators trying to differentiate between male characters run into trouble.  You don't sound like a man in the first place, so why try to not sound like a man ten different ways.)

    The movie will hopefully clean that up.

    igured I'd read Streets of Laredo since I finished off Lonesome Dove in January. Almost done with it - but man, this book is bleak. I'm gonna need something funny and uplifting after this one.

    Yep.  No country for old men.

    Below is still the funniest book I've read in the last few years.  Just an incredible portrait of his mom and dad.  And as a Coen Bros fan, I loved the stuff on the Coen's early days.

  3. Depressing amount of fuckery being done by this Court. The irony is that the lower courts at least held up against Trumps "steal" lawsuits.

    We should be have been debating over the last two years how the courts arguably overreacted to Jan. 6 and imprisoned too many  and barred Trump from ever running all before Jan. 6, 2022. 

    Much like we are discussing Covid overreach, our debate now should be about insurrection overreach, and how depressing it is that Meatball Ron is going to claw his way to the nomination.

    Not the high likelihood of everyone being fucking pardoned.

  4. Dreamin Wild (2022)

    I kinda thought I was okay with Mopey Casey, but this seemed like a nice simple story that might have been a little fun, but the final cut was captured by Colin Robinson at  the last minute.

    Good Time is a nice song though.

    Kamala might come out on top, which I'm fine with, but the dems would leave the convention with excitement. I will absolutely vote for Biden, but would love a younger more lively candidate. 

    Which is the point I have utterly been unable to communicate. 

    Why not both?  Excited about Biden continuing his efforts and also supper pumped if he is unable to and Kamala takes the reins.

    I think Kamala is a huge fucking selling point, especially in comparison to the shit the Republicans are bringing to the table, and the Dems needs to sell and not be defensive about the fact that Joe is long in the tooth.

  6. I know that many of the posters on this board laugh at anyone who is reluctant to throw down the racist claim or the sexist claim when it comes to Republican bullshit, and I'm one of those just because, frankly I was raised that way. Both of those claims are big deals so they should not be used lightly.

    But all that goes out the window when it comes to that orange, treasonous, rapist, racist cunt. 

    IF someone has evidence that Kamala sold nuclear codes to the North Koreans, MAYBE there is an argument that she would not be a better President than Trump or gingival retard asslicker Tim Scott.   Maybe. Close call.

    SO I've thrown those two cards down.  There, I said it.  

    From now on on these boards I don't want to hear anything negative about Kamala.  And if you do say something negative you're nothing but a racist, sexist prick Russian puppet.

    Sorry for the rant, K-Girl.

    Biden needs a good SOTU.  Then he needs to stay away from cameras and microphones as much as possible until September, at which point he needs 70 days where he campaigns like hell without looking like he’s on death’s door.   If that happens without the economy tanking, he should win.

    I'm thinking there are some other big landmines.
