Why? WHY??? I'd say straight to DVD, but we all stream now and the likes of Apple, Amazon, and Netflix can make genuine good looking movies. So who made this movie?

I like the ‘Please delete’ title better than the ‘Forest fires ruining summer’. Smoke in summer just means it’s smoke season, just like every other summer these days. cough cough

Hey now, two of the six MCs are from Wisconsin.

That Red Sonja trailer had me laughing out loud within twenty seconds. If they just kept that song playing on some sort of loop, I bet I'd have a blast for at least twenty or thirty minutes. The kind of flick my brother and I used to sneak in a 6'er to the dollar movie theater and go full MST3K throughout.

I started a new thread, which I liked so much I did it twice!

Ya, I’d be willing to change the title to something better, but, let’s be real guys. Forest fires in Canada are ruining summer for Americans! Not masked men snatching people off the streets, not tanks and police on horses and heavily armed soldiers in your parks and on your streets. I’m going to start posting Boycott Minnesota posts on faceless book. What a pack of stupid Republican wankers!

First time for everything - double thread!

My bestie informed me that there's a subReddit for Snyderbros (SnyderCut). Had a look this morning and hot damn it's *weird*, full of far too much rage and bile. Looking forward to seeing this tonight with a big crowd. Movie date nights for the win.

Meta’s back on the menu, boys!

Tbc I was joking/being sardonic and not in any way commenting on this woman’s ethnicity nor nationality. The implication of my ellipses was that, of course, this administration will find a way to deport you regardless.

Thanks, obviously I didn't read far down enough.

The BBC article goes into this, actually:

Good thing we dumped that digital services tax in good faith, eh?

As a Christian Armenian-Iranian, she almost surely would have a justifiable fear of persecution if she were to be deported back to Iran at this point in history. And I'm not sure the Trump administration would try to send a plane to Iran with deportees -- too dangerous for the crew. But I am sure there would be other countries that would take her. This reminds me that my mother's best friend when I was a child was a Christian Armenian-Iranian immigrant. She had met and married a German Swiss engineer who was working in Tehran and then he got a job in the United States working for the same company my father did. She was quite an interesting woman and certainly not stupid -- too bad this woman doesn't take after her.

^Clearly not a cult…^

Mine would be: "What name does Sam give Jon's son?"

Now Dumpy is threatening a 35% tariff on all Canadian goods as well. How would a 100% exit surcharge on oil go down?

Just because you’re too stupid for any country to want you…

@Rippounet Calling Mlle "billionaire loving," is extremely unfair. She merely raised a few interesting questions. But I'm sure she can defend herself far better than I could.

No, this is not The Onion https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3vd1vn9n06o Detained in immigration raids, Maga mom still has faith in Trump's mass deportation plan I think there may have just be a Supreme Court decision on that one? Good luck lady.

Nothing worse than an incompetent micromanager.

I’m also skeptical that a wealth tax could be implemented well, but I’m curious about the current proposal. Unfortunately, I don’t have a subscription to lemonde, so I’m unable to read the portion of the op-ed that explained the details around implementation. Can you please copy and paste an excerpt on the implementation? Some of my concerns would be around the taxation of founders of startups, particularly at the pre-IPO stage, and taxation of founders of privately owned companies. Are these addressed in the op-ed?

I saw that this morning. Five Republicans assholes.

Its interesting. I think a poster once said they were making a list of weirwood objects and asked if they'd missed any, so I searched on weirwood which obviously threw up the trees as well, and I was struck by how few there were especially in the southron areas. The eradication phase was obviously quite efficient. I seem to remember there were some descriptions of vast wooded areas with weirwoods dotted around in them, which doesn't seem how they'd grow if only by roots. Also, why don't Godswoods trees turn into forests if that is how they grow? Also, do they need blood? Blood sacrifices under a weirwood tree seems to be an ancient thing and I noted in AGOT Ned cleans his sword in the Godswood pond after executing Gared, and Luwin dies of his wound under the tree. Or does the blood just enable better communication or something rather than providing essential nutrients?

The comments are great.
