Oh sweety... don't waste your gum. πΉ
TimeCrimes (2007 Spain) This head spinning time travel/paradox film was written/directed/stars Nacho Vigalondo. This is one movie you canβt turn your brain off and just sink into the sofa after a hard workday. Wait til the weekend. Time travel can make your head hurt (in a good way) with paradoxes and this one proves it. Thinking up all the time threads that have to be neatly put in their place can be a challenge but Vigalondo goes big, takes a risk and pulls it off. You're not going to find epic cinematography or production design. Itβs a low budget writing focused film and Iβm here for it. I really enjoyed it but ended the film with WTF. I love WTF. Itβs better than βIβve seen the same damn plot like twenty times in the past monthβ. Hollywood has an issue with imagination as in they are remaking the same story over and over like an effing time loop. So I love to see something trippy and unique. It was supposed to be remade in English but got trapped in development hell. Find it rentable on most streaming. #SciFi #Sci-Fi #ScienceFiction #Film #FilmFan #Films #Cinema #Movie #Movies

We're witnessing the most relentless state assault on free speech and free thought since McCarthyism and the guys who pretend to care about the First Amendment are either busy crying about things Twitter did 5 years ago or cheering it on.

To recap: the Stop WOKE Act is obviously unconstitutional, and a federal court blocked it in November, calling it "positively dystopian." But DeSantis is just ploughing ahead with it. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/desantis-asks-state-colleges-data-critical-race-theory/story?id=96189743
If you arenβt familiar with the Overton Window, itβs an important concept that means the acceptable range of discourse between the far left and far right.
Every time you platform a fascist like Lauren Boebert and treat her like a politician instead of a fucking criminal, you move the Overton Window to where SHE WANTS.
This is precisely why we are in the situation weβre in.

Accepting that our government is "of, by, and for the people" doesn't mean accepting our Govt is perfect.
It means affirming the value of representative government, electing the best person for the job, and then holding them accountable to ensure justice for ALL people in America.
The Party of Lincoln no longer believes any of this. Hence, the Party of Lincoln is long dead. It's now the party of Reagan/Trump & it's grounded in cruelty, every person for themselves, & no actual accomplishments.
At least we're finally getting to what this is all about -- these Republicans want to destroy America's economy and doom our leadership of the world

Rep. Ralph Norman's comments y'day highlight a big takeaway from the speaker's race.
Norman: "If next September, if weβre faced with another crisis and need to raise the debt ceiling or shut the government down, will you shut the government down? If he says no, Iβm out."
@ScottSoCal I hope the same. Yes, the number of the stolen children is huge and a big difference from something like an official/proofen number or the suspected/feared number. Some people work on the chase of the stolen children, itβs really difficultβ¦ hope to get them back asap
About fucking time. Officer Sicknick was murdered. Period. He was beaten in the head with a fire extinguisher and sprayed with poisonous chemicals by the mob trump incited and he died the next day In the hospital. Calling his death βnatural causesβ is a disgusting lie and everyone knows it.
