Leftist (both cultural and economic). Born in Texas and still stuck here. I work in a bookstore and can't believe this is reality. It just gets worse.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

Y'all remember when Nvidia was just that company that made a card so you could play 3d games? Now they run everything? Maybe we should have stopped at Pong.

I don't know much about "Digger" except that people are talking about it, and that when Cruise decides to do something interesting it can be pretty great (Magnolia, Tropic Thunder, Eyes Wide Shut). So I will add this to my list of movies to see if I can ever afford to leave the house again.

I hate Trump as much as thr next guy, but it is obvious what he is trying to say here - high gas prices are a small price to pay - should we let them blow up LA, San Diego? Gas prices are a small price to pay. He isn't being clear or articulate, but that is what he is trying to say

A Virginia mother was detained by ICE after she was unable to immediately recite her Social Security number during a traffic stop, despite reportedly presenting identification and immigration documents. Her teenage daughter recorded the encounter and said goons became aggressive.

If basic human rights are predicated on whether someone committed crimes (see the "except as punishment for a crime" clause in the Thirteenth Amendment), then you create perverse incentives for those in power to create as many "criminals" out of the opposition as possible. Prisoners are humans.

This is one example of how a crowd-control confrontation can develop. Police charges can unfold differently depending on the situation, and a police line may reposition or pull back when the crowd does not respond as expected. STAND YOUR GROUND!
