My fucking mind is blown. I'm watching Agatha Christie's 13 at Dinner (1985) and Inspector Japp is played by none other than Poirot himself, David Suchet. Poirot in this movie is played once again by Peter Ustinov.
Ustinov saying that the suspect said publicly that she will kill in order to gain her freedom. Suchet saying he has to get back to the suspect's flat.

I think so too.
Patrick Swayze with fantastic arms and a spaghetti string dress with a poodle at his feet in a grassy yard. Patrick Swayze in a black dress with gold buttons with white accents around the collar and pockets (this dress has pockets) and a black clutch bag and pearl necklace with a big Kentucky Derby style hat. Sort of like he's dressed for Easter Sunday.

I'm watching a horror comedy that takes place on an island off the coast of Ireland so of course the plot is that there's an alien invasion and in order to protect yourself you have to get piss drunk. Anyway here's the best line in the movie.

It's hard to describe how punchable this cunt's face is. A very thin white man with clear framed glasses and that Lin Manuel Miranda lip bite combined with sucking his cheeks in. Head shaved on the sides with a sort of short Mohawk coif and a black thread necklace that disappears under his baby shit mustard colored shirt with white stripes. The bitch you better be joking meme from that weird horny show about high schoolers.

I found this guy outside the gym and i think even he skips leg day.
The image shows a large, active hunter spider resting on a pale, textured surface. It appears to be a rabid wolf spider (Rabidosa rabida), easily recognized by the prominent dark brown longitudinal stripe running down the center of its cephalothorax (the front body section) bordered by lighter yellowish-tan bands.

I went on a muscle mommy following binge a few weeks ago and now one of 'ems like "the FDA isn't your friend" and now I gotta figure out which side she's making that argument on. It's a little too MAHA-y for my taste.

Well technically... A white wine and a goodles doesn't sound half bad. But if it helps I ate a brown rice salmon bowl before gym.

Leg day done. Full of delicious protein. Sitting in a cold shower with the rest of my preworkout on ice and a box of wine. No wine glasses in the shower in case something breaks, so i use my old IT company swag in the form of a gummy cup.

An American what? Yeah no thanks. I think we're all good here. Couldn't stomach Trump which makes centrist liberals salivate at trying to convert you but you're still Republican AF and can't wait until the next Trump with better manners shows up.

I'm so tired. I'm not going to sit here and try to tell anyone with a straight face that men on the left can't be toxic on an individual or anecdotal level but it has nothing to do with their politics and everything to do with them being men. If you're still on X and being harassed maybe get off X.
there was also this interesting dynamic in our own party: of men feeling like we needed to be ideologically pure, that we need to just share our network and our capabilities with them, and a lot of criticism when it came to wanting more power. I saw that play out certainly online in the election. When Hillary Clinton was a candidate and there were all these Bernie bros who were, again, angry about sort of the need for ideological purity. And I think it also came down to women having too much power:"
-Shannon Watts"The tension that I've seen very specifically is that if women are allowed to be ambitious, strategic, flawed, but most of all pragmatic. Women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, and particularly Black women. And they're very well known to be moderate, to be pragmatic, to understand and be able to tolerate incrementalism, which is such a dirty word."
-Shannon WattsI will just say that I have been shocked to watch my party embrace what I believe is blue MAGA. And the amount of hate and vitriol have endured online, on X, because of my opposition to Graham Platner; that has been equally shocking to me."Headline: Is the Left Driving Women Away?

Every ad is like this now. AI generated image of a made up person endorsing an inscrutable product.
It's a made up image of an Asian man in glasses and a dark hoodie holding a glowing candle with no visible flame. The text super imposed on the image is "the only candle I didn't know I needed."

If this movie's about what I think it's about it has a very misleading preview picture.

I'm convinced Larry David set his new special or whatever as a period piece because he's bald and loves having hair again.

God bless the Metro but fuck all of that walking in this weather. Here are some pictures I took of the 50th anniversary wrap they did.

It's funny to me to go through Joe's list and how acknowledging Israel's genocidal actions and wanting universal healthcare are both beyond the pale positions to hold along with the elimination of the carceral state and then adding just a straight up lie about immigration. Reminded me of this:
THIS MAN is wanted for treasonous activities against the United States:

1. Betraying the Constitution (which he swore to uphold):

He is turning the sovereignty of the U. S. over to the communist controlled United Nations.

He is betraying our friends (Cuba, Katanga, Portugal) and befriend- ing our enemies (Russia, Yugosla- via, Poland).

2. He has been WRONG on innumerable issues affecting the security of the U. S. (United Nations - Berlin wall - Missile removal Cuba - Wheat deals - Test Ban Treaty, etc.)

3. He has been lax in enforcing Communist Registration laws.

4. He has given support and encouragement to the Communist inspired racial riots.

5. He has illegally invaded a sovereign State with federal troops.

6. He has consistently appointed An- ti-Christians to Federal office: Uph- olds the Supreme Court in its Anti- Christian rulings.

Aliens and known Communists abound in Federal offices.

7. He has been caught in fantastic LIES to the American people (including personal ones like his previous marriage and divorce).
