To all those people selling their Marty Supreme DVD screeners on eBay for $300 (and similar amounts). Fuck you. It’s literally only just in theaters. The film industry is collapsing and you’re doing this? What an absolute abuse of your privilege. Fuck you. #MartySupreme

It’s like Michael Caine talking down to Steve Martin in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The high-class con-man doesn’t want his territory sullied by a philistine con-man.

It’s crazy that the number of people who are a lot like Annie Wilkes has exponentially increased since Misery came out, rather than, you know, going down. Only in America do cautionary tales inspire people to become the thing being cautioned against.

Stephen Miller is on Fox calling for everyone involved in the CBS “revolt” to be fired. “The revolt” is called journalism. They were doing their job. The person who should be fired is Bari Weiss, who tried to censor and kill a well researched story that the American people had a right to see.

They don't think they're public servants. They think they're kings, princes, dukes, and barons. They control the government, and that makes them royalty, and that means our money should be used to buy them planes and gold-plated toys and gilded ballrooms

This is patently false. DHS has authority to question and search people coming into the country at points of entry. But ICE may not detain and question anyone without reasonable suspicion — and certainly not based on their physical appearance alone. This lawlessness must stop.

Again to the point. Inside federal law enforcement ICE has always had a terrible rep. Place for people who can't get jobs at the more legit/disciplined federal policing agencies. High zeal to beat people up, low competence. Will get vastly worse hiring vast numbers under time pressure.
