I was just at a brewery tasting room and I took a picture of the beer list to send to a friend. But I noticed I had also captured the back of the bartender's neck. Take a look. The one on the top is a moon. M! The next one down is the sun. S! The third one is a single compass rose. 1 compass rose! 1! The last one (you can't see it here) is a glass, probably a margarita glass. Margaritas use triple sec. Triple! 3! But then she turned around and she was white. So false alarm I guess.

Loved this recent quote on why he wants to "reopen" Alcatraz: Well, I guess I was supposed to be a movie maker. We're talking—we started with the movie making and will end. I mean, it—it represents something very strong, very powerful in terms of law and order. Our country needs law and order. Alcatraz is, uh, I would say, the ultimate, right? Alcatraz. Sing Sing and Alcatraz. Eh, the movies. But, uh, it's right now a museum, believe it or not, a lot of people go there. It housed the, uh, most violent criminals in the world, and nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there. But they, as you know the story, they found his clothing rather badly ripped up. And, uh, it was a lot of shark bites, lot of, a lot of problems. Nobody's ever escaped from Alcatraz. And just represented something, uh, strong having to do with law and order. We need law and order in this country. And so we're going to, uh, look at it. Some of the people up here are going to be working very hard on that. And, uh, we had a little conversation. I think it's going to be very interesting. We'll see if we can, uh, bring it back in large form, add a lot. But I think it represents something. Right now it's, uh, a big hunk that sitting there rusting and rotting, uh, very, uh, you look at it, it's sort of a [unintelligible]. You saw that picture that was put out. It's sort of amazing. But it sort of represents something that's both horrible and beautiful and strong and miserable. Weak. It's got a lot of, it's got a lot of qualities that are interesting. And I think they, they make a point. Okay. Sharks and electric boats and MS13 o my!

Sorry, can't take rapist/felon/pedophile supporters seriously when they cry about "oh the CRIMES! The CRIMES against society!" Keep in mind that Trump nominated, and you supported, a pedophile for Attorney General. And because your very next words will be "we never supported him" I went back to Quora and found 'questions' that Trump supporters were asking right after Gaetz was nominated: Matt Gatez is perfectly well qualified to serve as the Attorney General. Why do liberals mock him for his credentials but get upset when we mocked Kamala for hers? So maybe stop supporting rapists, felons and pedophiles and you'll be taken more seriously when you cry about rapists, felons and pedophiles. Or perhaps you will take this advice better coming from someone much wiser than me: “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."

"I never thought lepoards would eat MY face!"

Yep. Unfortunately they are in demand. So most likely we will simply see even cheaper junk toys, cookware etc made in America and sold to Americans - because there won't be much in the way of choice.

Because a prison located in the SAN FRANCISCO BAY will end up being very cheap to run! His next prison will be built in Central Park Manhattan, where the cost of living is even lower.

"principal photography began in Budapest" Ruh roh!

Most of Titanic was filled in Mexico, where they could get a seaside drydock to build an actual, floodable, almost life size set. (Side note - about a dozen of the tech crew came up after they were done shooting and did tandems at Air Adventures while I worked there. They wouldn't tell us what they were working on, other than it involved a boat.) Now consider what it would have cost to rent out half a mile of ocean coastline - with power and road access - anywhere in the US for six months. Absolutely. There will still be films they can make. Just not as many, and many of them will be more expensive. The result will be a smaller US film industry.

Some notable US movies that were filmed in foreign lands: Avengers: Endgame Most of the Star Wars movies Matrix 1 The Lord of the Rings Pretty much all the Mission: Impossible movies Beauty and the Beast Jurassic World: Foreign Kingdom Most James Bond movies Titanic Dark Knight Rises Da Vinci Code Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Fast and Furious 6 Gladiator Bourne Identity Inception The movie industry in the US will be in such better shape after they can no longer afford to produce films like that. Right, Trump supporters?

You got all the talking points in there, eh? Ten points to Ravizzador for copying FOX News! And if belief in the Constitution is a "luxury belief system" - you bet! I greatly prefer it to the fascist "economy" belief system we see from the right these days. No rights unless you're white and straight, and have no tattos. It's so great that Trump is in power, both houses of Congress are republican and the court is conservative - and you can STILL be a victim of the mean n evil lefties! A true maestro of victimhood. I can understand why; no one in their right mind would want any part of the republican dumpster fire today. Yes. Cutting mental health funding, cutting medical care for addicts and cutting drug support programs will do that. Early in the year, Trump cut ~$11.4 billion in grants for addiction and mental health programs. FAFO as they say. Most dangerous cities in the US: Memphis St Louis Detroit Birmingham Little Rock New Orleans Kansas City Myrtle Beach Much rather live in LA or SF than those places. You would, too, if you could see beyond your partisan blinders. I could care less about Soros. But he must be doing something right; he's lived rent-free in your mind for years.

Thank you for, once again, proving my point.

Nope. The ignorant people who cannot define what a woman is, but want to force their own sick morals down other people's throats, are the problems - and those people are today's republicans.

Or airline pilots! I think you're on to something here. Although then you'd need two per plane. I bet we can still make the math work.

Why? It does several good things for them. 1) It owns the libs. 2) The (late) Pope made them feel bad by saying that deporting immigrants, kidnaping and jailing innocent US children and canceling charity was anti-Christian. This lets them "strike back" in a way and make themselves feel better about what they have done. 3) The idea that Trump, a sex offender, fraud and convicted felon, could be Pope, makes other people with similar misdeeds in their backgrounds believe that even they could be seen as virtuous and moral. Overall it's a win/win for Trump and his supporters.

Each pill could conceivably kill 12 people. If you, for example, fired it from a railgun and then lined up 12 people in front of it.
