Gaza is about the population+geographic size of Queens. It lost 4% of the population in this war. 4 out of 5 were civilians (Geneva convention, hello?) and 30% were children. Imagine NATO, hypothetically of course, bombing Queens like this. Would you be bickering about the definition of 'genocide'?

If you started a business and you spent triple what you made in revenue, sooner or later they would repossess your children and your pants. And you would have no right to be surprised.

This is great, but I'm kinda worried about the 10-17% of Americans who think the Epstein Files should *not* be released. That's a significant chunk of the population.

Within 24 hours, Hurricane #Polo is expected to make landfall in Baja California Sur, potentially delivering MAJOR IMPACTS. Once the system reaching Arizona and New Mexico, the system could deliver MAJOR IMPACTS in the form of flooding. Will have a stream up later this evening #hurricane

Separate from the details of the actual Paramount/WBD deal, we're going to need non-Hollywood writers to do a little homework and understand that "zombie cable arms" are, in the case of WBD, *40-60% of all revenue* depending on the year. It ain't dead just because the streaming enthusiasts asy so.

Doonesbury, Sunday September 20

Panels 1+2: The dean of a major university looks out at the campus, swilling a martini. He thinks, "Where can I chop next?...Maybe the film department..."
Panels 3+4: A lecturer speaks at the podium.
"Of course, violence in movies can take radically different forms...consider, for example, this summer's blockbuster "The Odyssey" ".
Panel 5: she speaks over a still from the film depicting Matt Damon as a Greek warrior fighting enemy soldiers in a tavern with a crossbow.
"In the hero's final battle, the action is impressionistic, stylized. As each suitor waits his turn to be killed, the fast cuts and jittery camera impart the *idea* of violence.:
Panel 6: She changes the slide to a still from "Atomic Blonde" depicting Charlize Theron as a spy brawling with masked thugs in a dirty apartment stairwell.
"Contrast that with "Atomic Blonde"'s stairwell scene with it's hyperrealistic, tightly choreographed mayhem, seemingly captured in a single 7 minute long take."
Panel 7: The lecturer continues, ""Blonde" creates the *experience* of a battle whereas "Odyssey" gives us a *summary* of one. Questions so far?"
Panel 8: two students slumped over their computers speak up:
"Yes. What's a movie?"
"It's like a long Tiktok, only boring." is the one in the back's reply.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.

Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.

Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.
