Why would I care about the literal price tag of war? What is $11 billion dollars to the United States? Who knows? Was that money ever going to be used to uplift people?
Decoding the incredible violence we're responsible for and recoding it as money is paving over the deaths those dollars paid for.

@CNN Pizza shop workers took down an armed robber -- but when police took off his mask, they discovered he was their old boss.
and he would have got away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids
Guy who thinks pro wrestling is legit and is disgusted by the quality of the officiating.
It's always seemed to me that being a part of an armed underground movement is more hell than romance, and things like The Baader Meinhoff Complex and Say Nothing capture that well -- but I can't believe Say Nothing spends a whole ep humanizing the torturer of IRA hunger strikers.
Official map from NOAA depicting the relative rank of winter 2025-2026 temperatures at a county level across the contiguous U.S. Many counties in the western and central U.S. are depicted in dark red color, signifying record-warmest winter. All other counties in the west and central U.S. are depicted in dark orange colors, signifying a "near record warm" rank.
The official NOAA stats out this week confirm that winter 2025-26 was the warmest on record across a huge portion of the western and central U.S., which has contributed to extremely low mountain snowpack & worsened the CO River crisis. Meanwhile, record March heat is in forecast.

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that." Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.
Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

I guess people have been saying this since it aired but the penultimate ep of S1 of PARADISE might be one of the best hours of TV ever made. I have a pull to federal disaster management problems, obviously, but the melodrama woven through the realist apocalyptic practicals is tremendous television.

"The far right wants to infiltrate the broader martial arts scene, and people in the community have a responsibility to keep them out."
Some were upset I included a local MMA group who mostly didn't know of a fash connect in their midst, but now they can push em out if they don't want that stink.

"I can't believe the stupid electorate took issue with Darth Vader" is admittedly a very funny position to hold
Nice to finally see Game Night, was talked into Mag 7 and enjoyed it more than I thought I would, which delightfully autoplayed into O Brother, and took the opportunity to watch the dour incest movie while housesitting
A screenshot of my Last 4 watched on Letterboxd: Shame directed by Steve McQueen, O Brother Where Art Thou rewatch directed by The Coen Brothers, The Magnificent Seven remake directed by Antoine Fuqua, and Game Night directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein
Forgot to do this yesterday
