I read, I travel, I love to cook. I am also an unapologetic atheist. My blog is extensive and erratic. usinuk.co.uk/blog

“You wanna take a photo for the ‘gram? Take one of the movie poster, or the marquee, or your ticket stub if you’re at a theater that still messes with those. Do literally anything that does not require you to take out your phone during the movie…”

Stop Taking Photos of the Movie Screen During the Movie. No, Seriously, Knock It Off
We shouldn't have to tell you not to take pictures of the screen while you're watching a movie in the theater, but apparently we do.

You make an excellent point but that wouldn't appease the car lobby.

Thou shalt expel Mike Lee from the Senate and banish him from society, for he mocked and celebrated the murder of a political opponent.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

elymaiis on Tumblr:

""If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you
teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime," but
you have done neither. You have stood before us and
eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as
you have done so. You have cast aside their offal and
simultaneously chided us for our waste. You then
told us that, coincidentally, you owned the river, and
our parents should have gotten us the same if we
wanted fish. You gave a man a fish to murder us if
we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or
eat a fish from another river. You've copyrighted the
fishing net. It costs us fish to leave."

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.
A cartoon by Cori6 compares two scenarios. The top panel, labeled "PROJECT 1938," shows a group of people, including adults and children, disembarking from a train with a ramp, reminiscent of historical deportations. The bottom panel, labeled "PROJECT 2025," depicts a similar group of people disembarking from an airplane using a mobile staircase, suggesting a modern deportation scenario. The cartoon is signed "Cori6" in the bottom right corner.

Think about it. Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. Rubert Murdoch is an immigrant. Elon Musk is an immigrant. Maybe we should rethink the possibility that immigrants and their children are destroying America.

So, what you're saying is, of someone did something morally bad, it has a time limit on it? If it turned out that, say Shakespeare was a pedophile, that would be okay because he's been dead a long time.
