Not really-- just some good, old fashioned yard signin'. It's about as American as apple pie and stomping out tyranny.

In this house we are not …. On the Epstein List

Also Catch Me If You Can (2002) - it's got the rise of Leo, the decline of Hanks, and the end of the Spielberg Era all in one

Ten biggest snubs imo

But my favorite part of this list is the totally justified omissions. Call it "Dishonorable Mentions" -- previously lauded films that have already faded to obscurity (just like we all thought they would): Crash, The Blindside, The Artist, Birdman, LaLa Land, and The Revenant.

Speaking of the Coen Brothers, has anyone literally ever rewatched Inside Llewellyn Davis? A Serious Man? Seriously?

Essentially this list is saying "sorry ladies, you may be 50 percent of the world, but you ain't 50 percent of the culture."

We could easily cut one (or all) of the extraneous Brooklyn hipster cinephiliac jerk-off movies like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Grand Budapest Hotel, Oppenheimer, and 2-3 Coen Bros' films.

If Superbad, Borat and Anchorman deserved to make it in (and they did), at least 2 of these 4 should have made the list as well.

The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century More than 500 influential directors, actors and other notable names in Hollywood and around the world voted on the best films released since Jan. 1, 2000. See how their ballots stacked up.

I loved the @nytimes.com top 100 movies list, but no surprise the biggest omissions were all iconic chick flicks: Devil Wears Prada, Legally Blonde, Bridget Jones' Diary, Mean Girls & Erin Brockovich. These 5 did more to define the 2000s the other 100 combined.

When it comes to atrocities, psychologist Stanley Cohen identifies three forms of denial: literal denial (it didn’t happen), interpretive denial (it wasn’t what it seems) and implicatory denial (it doesn’t matter). Confirmation bias plays a part here, too. Imagine you had a close friend or family member who was accused of unspeakable crimes. from Washington Post opinion A genocide is happening in Gaza. We should say so by Shadi Hamid You’d have strong incentives to explain away their actions — or, better yet, deny that they committed them in the first place. To admit that someone you love was capable of evil can simply be too difficult, because in some sense that realization would implicate you as well.

This is bay city beacon erasure

Let the record reflect that I told you that literally a decade ago

That leaves plenty of time to build a new public library in every town in America

I can’t imagine having all the money in the world and being sincerely resentful that I am not also universally beloved.

It’s crazy to say this, but this is literally DuckTales. Elon is Scrooge McDuck

Wildly under appreciated performance from Anne Hathaway who is majorly serving despite the role being written pretty thinly

Sorry, it was just a bad joke 😜

A relative of yours?

my mind is blown

It's so stark, but I would love for someone smarter than me to explain how and why this happened? Is it just that the reverb just isn't the same?

Who is the blond gurlie sidekick? She wasn’t in the game?

Nah

What if you need to reckon with the fact that “being right” and winning are mutually exclusive (at least for right now)? And that means you need to decide for yourself how you want to live?

FWIW I know that’s what JD Vance has done.
