Actor Bruce Campbell shares 'treatable, not curable' cancer battle In a lengthy post on social media, Campbell told fans that he is prioritizing treatment over upcoming appearances.

The Evil Dead franchise, especially Evil Dead 2 and 3 are like chicken soup. Whenever I'm sick or the chips are down, I can count on them to make me feel better.

Cancer can suck on this.

Iran? You haven’t even finished Venezuela.

How can you have any Iran if you don’t finish your Venezuela!

Oh.... My favorite book of his. Read it many times. So many great quotes.

Wasatch County GOP chairman accused of waterboarding teen daughter A Heber City man, who is also the Wasatch County GOP chairman, was charged Wednesday with aggravated child abuse, a first-degree felony, and accused of waterboarding his teen daughter as a form of pun...

This is the kind of thing that will give waterboarding a bad reputation.

Great piece in PIC today. A sage warning to fortify the love shack or meditation pod while there's still time.

It depends on the day I guess. Both are spot-on and worthy to deploy as needed. LBFT has wider coverage and a smoother acronym.

I'm Donald Trump and I'll be making up numbers for the next hour or so. Enjoy the show! And if you like these numbers, I'm available to make some up for you personally at your wedding, Bar Mitzvah, graduation, birthday... whatever. See Leavitt on the way out.

Fuck It! Movie Trailer Just Going to Show You the Whole Thing Don’t you think it would just be easier to watch this than the actual movie? Trust me, these are the best parts, the rest is just extra.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

New survival show idea: Donald Trump has to figure out what groceries are, then buy some, and prepare all his own food for a month.

The Day Donald Trump Turned Into Mamdani’s Beta A study in one man standing tall and another crumpling like a cellophane sack of half congealed bacon fat.

β€œBut the second he encounters someone with spine, someone with moral clarity, someone unmoved by bluster, he folds. He wilts. He sits there like a dog brought instantly to heel, panting for approval from the very man he swore he would obliterate.”
