The destruction of trees and other flora that live for hundreds of years, all for a technology that will soon be obsolete as it is surpassed by the next.

He’s an 11 year old who is merely having fun with the power he’s been given. Yet, he has no understanding of anything meaningful, rational, or applicable to the world.

One of the greatest films of the past 30 years.

All we want to know (apologies for speaking for others) is what you will be watching.

He was so amazing. When I think of him I remember his role in “Presumed Innocent” when his character says: “What a colossal blunder.” His bearing, voice, and talent was incredible. Raúl is missed.

If a hot dog stand, it would be(the hot dog) poisoned and full of glass (among other things). They may be in charge of the digging and emptying of latrines and nothing else.

There should be a Constitutional and basic civics test that one must pass before running for any public office. Basic. Legal. Required.

I have all my tapes, CDs, and DVDs in large boxes. Haven’t been able to bring myself to rid myself (I know that’s bad writing, Geoffrey, please forgive) of any of it. And now I am extra glad.

At first glance I read it as “Desert Hummus.” I have so many things to say in general about this that my brain is about to short circ……….

Molly, I want to make a film about our mothers. Thank you for writing your book. Not sure what else to say…

My brother, nine years older, had a giant poster of a great white, with its gaping maw in the foreground, on the wall of the bedroom we shared when I was 4-5 and he was 13-14. Jaws is one of my favorite movies but I still remember that poster and the flesh (imagined) in the teeth of that shark.

I wish movies could come out, people could watch them, and then the Academy can think about what films from the past year deserve accolades. I know it’s never really been like that, but…

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by a Border Patrol agent and branded a “domestic terrorist” by DHS — all for just warning her neighbors and speaking her truth during Operation Midway Blitz. She deserves true justice and accountability from the federal government.

I had the same experience with my first new car. I also refused all the add-ons (including anti-salt undercoating—I bought it in Oregon and was about to move to L.A.). As the finance guy walked out of the room to get the papers he’d printed I heard him mutter: “I hate first time buyers.”

“Oh, is this your child’s school photo? How darling.” “No, this is an algorithmic pictorial rendering of my child.” “Okaaaay. Why did you…?” “Cheaper. Our child isn’t worth enough to purchase a photo.”

I read it first as “insane” and laughed. Then realized what you actually wrote and laughed even harder.

The E.T. Henry Thomas jokes are too many to list, but to me this is the most disappointing of the three (because he was Elliot and he welcomed an Alien and actually hid him from the government and…dammit!).

Perhaps he thinks that Nixon's official presidential portrait was given a frame during Watergate. 🤔 I'm still stuck on "couped" as a verb form of coup d'etat. 🤣

I always enjoy the utter brazenness and confidence of the idiocy and ignorance. "Fish are evil! I'll have the tuna salad."

Wow. That is excellent camouflage. It took me almost five hours of staring to note it wasn't actually a Toyota.

So very true. And one must assume that far too many elected officials care not one jot about actually doing good things for their constituents. At least those who are not wealthy donors.

Hope all goes well, both to you and everyone here who has had/is having similar struggles. I am one of them as well, and reaching out is always the first step. So happy you found the hotline helpful.

The death penalty must be abolished at the state and federal level. No government should kill its citizens.

This can't be talked about enough. "President Donald Trump's move to cut most of the US funding towards foreign humanitarian aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to research published in The Lancet medical journal." www.bbc.com/news/article...

The figure from the Lancet, a leading medical journal, includes 700,000 child deaths globally a year.

This has been my thought as well. Then I think about the cup competitions. Do they just train for weeks and only play the cups? Another of the myriad examples of how awful this is.

The apologies were so anodyne, cold, formal, and to me only serve to further damage USC.
