Remember, you don't have to work for Paramount or Warner. There are more than enough amazing creators out there to get funding and work as independents. Just make movies without the billionaires. YOU are the talent. YOU are the creators. Without you, they have NOTHING.

Pretty sure we told you people this would happen. Told you over, and over, and over—frankly, it's been eleven years, now—and everything we warned you about has come true. This is all your fault. You knew this would happen. And you ignored reality.

Is anyone, anywhere genuinely oblivious to the fact that the GOP's goal is to eliminate access to abortion entirely and forever throughout the United States? Does anyone think if they just don't mention it, the GOP won't abolish abortion as soon as they can? Why is this nation so fucking stupid?

But, you see, conservatives think no business should be regulated or restricted from doing whatever they want, no matter who gets sick or dies. The fact is, most regulation exists because some business ALREADY did whatever is being regulated and killed or injured people in doing so.

So, maybe, just maybe, putting a worm-eaten, junkie, lunatic in charge of American healthcare and food safety was a bad idea. Just spitballing ideas, here. Also, I'm worried RFKjr is putting balls of spit in our food.

But... but... if we all worship billionaires, we can all be billionaires one day. If we don't worship them, we'll never be diabolically rich.

The cruelty, brutality, and pain is the whole point of conservative pro-life state-sponsored murder policy. Also, conservatives are salivating at the thought of being able to legally shoot people. Kleenex sales in firing-squad states are going to go through the roof.

Gawd, I know! I have to drive 612 miles to the market for groceries. And work is 794 miles away. I could never drive an electric with only 450 miles range. My kids walk 1,756,098 miles to school both ways. I make them walk, though.

Yep. Typical republicans. Do all sorts of shit everyone hates, and which is harmful and evil, but do it when people are unable to stop them. Sort of like the way republicans treat thirteen year-old girls.

The man who tore down half the White House and destroyed our worldwide reputation does not love America. Trump is the cancer that is killing America.

Fuck Donald Trump. He "loves" America the way he loves anything not himself and money, which is to say he holds it in absolute contempt, if he thinks about it at all. Trump hates anyone who tries to make him behave like a human, and holds his "followers" in contempt for being such gormless suckers.

OMG, I really did just figure it out! Trump plans to give us "Single Payer Healthcare." Which means the single person we will all pay will be Trump and he will decide whose claims to pay out on based on how sycophantic they are to him, personally. He wants the $1.6 trillion market for himself.

captainfrogbert.bsky.social @captainfrogbert.bsky.social · 13h
Yeah. We will take all money from the insurance companies and then you will be able to buy insurance from... not insurance companies(?). Of course Trump is imagining everyone will be forced to by insurance from TrumpCare.™ Which will never once pay out on a claim and will let everyone die.

Because the GOP and most Democrats in Congress will sit still for having their biggest donors stripped of the trillions of dollars they make on health insurance in the US. It amazes me Trump gets to pretend to be anti-corporate while STILL doing nothing but handing public money to billionaires.

Further, the danger, if any, of non-gendered bathrooms, changing rooms, saunas, etc., is not trans people, it's men in general. As the Cornell 7 (57) gang-rape case proves YET AGAIN, (and again and again) men are the greatest threat to women, under any circumstances. bsky.app/profile/capt...

Being opposed to abortion and fear-mongering over bathrooms is not moral, it's purely political nonsense. Abortion is a medical procedure. There are literally millions of non-gendered bathrooms in America and the only problem with them is Americans' reluctance to actually keep them clean.

Of course, "protecting" women and girls in gendered dressing rooms had no effect on stopping Donald Trump who bragged about being able to barge in on young women and girls as young as 14, while they were naked, because he owned the beauty pageants they were in.

The original photo, taken by Bob Landry in 1942, was shot in black and white. It was colorized for Vanity Fair magazine, in 2016. These days, it's important to note when images have been manipulated by traditional means rather than AI. This is the original as it appeared in Life magazine in 1942:

Failure to provide medical care to persons in the custody of law enforcement is a civil offense. Most of what ICE does is either criminal or tortious, or both. They should be sued into oblivion. And Qualified Immunity needs to be eliminated or pared WAY back.

So, Cornell swept a GANG-RAPE under the rug until they were FORCED to inform the police after the story leaked. Ergo, they not only failed to report, but took active measures to cover it up. Which could amount to charges of misprision of felony or being accessories after the fact. Book => Throw.

Donald Trump REALLY just can't understand why he can't destroy a man's life on a whim to salve his wounded ego. Neither can anyone in the GOP. They are ALL psychopaths.

An illegal alien and an 83 year-old failure of human-ish protoplasm "leading" the Pentagon? With no-tab Pete? So NOBODY in command of the DoD will have any military experience?

This is PHENOMINALLY unconstitutional. The DoD literally MUST allow for religious freedom among the military. Too bad Congress commited suicide.

Were the police even brought in? I thought, until the story was leaked Cornell handled it all in-house.

Notice they're all running with, "Jack Smith commits perjury!" anyway? Even though Schmitthead's incompetent ass-hackery was torpedoed within seconds of him delivering his 3rd-grade book report on "What Jack Smith did last summer,"—which only proved he didn't read the book, or even the CliffsNotes.

The only military training Hegseth ever succeeded at was watching the movie "300" seventeen times. He thinks he's Leonidas getting ready for Thermopylae. Where Leonidas and his men all died. Even with great six-packs, perfectly-styled hair, and dope eyeliner. What a joke.

👆👆👆💯 Also, the other 50 other guys in the Snapchat group who knew and did nothing, and the entire administration of Cornell who treated it as a woman to be ignored and discarded out of hand, and a group of rich, entitled young men to be protected from the consequences of their heinous crime.

Much like your heart rate, it's a data point, not a fixed quality. It will change over time. As care progresses, ideally, your perception of pain will decrease meaning that aspect of care is working. That's why we ask. If your pain goes from 8 to 3 (or zero), we're doing our job.

As a paramedic, I can tell you, we're not looking for objective numbers. Those numbers we get with things like thermometers and pulse oximeters. We want to know how the pain feels to YOU, subjectively. Pain is invisible and personal. It's not a test you can fail by picking the "wrong" number.

This is what happens when ignorant incompetents are given unrestrained power without the education or intellect to make rational and informed decisions. No-tab Pete is the Dunning-Kreuger hire we were always warned about.

It would be possible to build such a canal using conventional means, but it would take half a trillion dollars or more and take roughly three decades. By which time human civilization will have collapsed, or renewable energy will have replaced use of fossil fuels making the canal redundant.

Using nukes for "peaceful nuclear explosions" is a loony and failed idea that has been wholly discredited for over half a century. Gingrich is the batshit loony old man Hegseth has advising the Pentagon.
