Yeah, it was a very 70s thing. I'd always spread it on white bread and add onions and lettuce and mustard for a summer sandwich. I haven't seen or heard of it in decades, and I'm fine if I never have it again 😁

Today's #Movie recommendation is "WarGames". This very-80s movie seems extra relevant today, what with its plot revolving around giving an advanced AI control over the U.S. military... Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, and Ally Sheedy star.

I'm not huge on remakes, but it's been 40 years, and I think with all of current events and current technology that make this story just SO MUCH MORE realistic and feasible than it was back in the 80s, that this movie is really ripe for a good, high quality remake, for a new generation.

How many of these little TikTok Keffiyeh Kids even know who Yasser Arafat was?!? An incredibly tiny percentage, I'll bet, if any. We failed these kids, letting them go through life never learning even this VERY RECENT history. This could have and should have been over more than 25 years ago.

Yes you were. You were trying to heap blame on Dems, deflect blame to Dems, and skewer Dems, and say "See, Dems are at fault her", when they manifestly are NOT THE PROBLEM. If you didn't intend that, then you should delete your post and figure out a way to reword it, or maybe rethink your career.

If someone else were president, FEMA would be staging supplies and support right now, and getting ready to help in the aftermath. I imagine nobody in this administration has even thought about such a thing, and I'm still not sure FEMA even really exists anymore. All these areas hit are deeply red.

Twenty-seven years ago this week, a 21-year-old college student named Matthew Shepard was found tied to a fence outside Laramie, Wyoming. He died six days later simply because he was gay. More of his story in the Alt-Text:

On October 6, 1998, Matt left a bar with two men who lured him out under false pretenses. They drove him to a remote area, brutally attacked him, robbed him, tied him to a fence, and left him alone in the freezing night.

Eighteen hours later, a cyclist found him - at first thinking he was a scarecrow.

Matt’s parents, Judy and Dennis Shepard, were overseas when they got the call. By the time they reached the hospital in Colorado, Matt was in a coma. He never regained consciousness. They never got to say goodbye.

Dennis once said Matt was almost too tender-hearted - the kind of person who couldn’t even step on a bug. Friends described him as a “light of joy,” someone who never met a stranger. The night he left that bar, he’d been planning an LGBTQ awareness event at his university.

Years later, Judy Shepard shared that she truly believed by now, things would be different - that people would be safe, equal, and accepted. “I am frustrated that we’re not done,” she said. “I am ecstatic that we have come this far. But there’s just so much left to do.”

And she’s right.

Hate crimes still happen. Basic rights are still being denied.

Let’s honor Matthew’s memory not only by remembering his story, but by continuing the work. By refusing to look away. By choosing compassion over hate, and courage over silence.

If you ask Bill Clinton about it, the moment Arafat walked away in 2000 remains one of the most profoundly disappointing moments of his life. Things didn't have to be this way... still. Things could have gotten better for *everyone*. Arafat decided he'd rather have... this. And here we all are.

Carve out some time to watch this video this weekend. Yes, it's 90 minutes long. It's worth it. It's important. It totally pays off in the end. And then when you're done watching it, share it. Because if everyone watched this, this country would be a better place for everyone. I'm serious. WATCH.
