I love this movie. Buttermaker is not a good guy but you root for him and his team of misfits anyway. Plus, what a great name. Highly quotable film as well.

One of the first toys I remember having. My dad brought home a hulk set and I remember what joy it was to get it. I also remember mixing them up and having all kinds of characters interacting

Working your whole life to enjoy a few years when you're close to death is one of the biggest scams nobody talks about. You spend your healthiest years making someone else rich. Sitting in traffic. Stuck in meetings. You'll never get those years back. Time is the one asset you can't buy more of.

Prices will go up. There will be shortages. National parks will be a mess. Air travel, based on what we're seeing in Newark, could go sideways. Measles will spread and fall COVID shots could get delayed. And the president might throw himself a big birthday parade! Widespread anger is coming.

Proud to file an amicus brief in support of the Institute of Peace, an independent nonprofit created by Congress that DOGE lawlessly commandeered. The 113 military & foreign policy officials who signed the brief have seen the "blood and treasure" saved by the Institute's work, and know its worth.

It's hard to know where best to channel our rage these days but my friend @rexhuppke.bsky.social has honed in on a pretty good target in this asinine comment by Alina Habba www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Just when you thought the Trump administration's denigration of the federal workers couldn't get worse, Alina Habba specifically insults veterans.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...
