As loathe as I am to link to TMZ, this is just too good:

Ridley Scott Blocked From Home, Frustrated During Diddy Raid in L.A.

WWW.TMZ.COM

---

Director Ridley Scott appeared seriously frustrated after he was inadvertently caught in the crossfire, figuratively, during the federal raid on Diddy's Los Angeles-area home.

Officer, you can let me pass, I made Alien.
 

Also what are the odds that two dudes named Ridley and Diddy live so close to one another?

I wonder why two completely mediocre Ghostbusters movies aren’t getting the same absurd amount of vitriol as a different thoroughly mediocre Ghostbusters movie…

Lord knows if I committed an attack like this in Russia, the first place I would head is directly into the Russian military.

I read somewhere that it’s not as helpful to him as you might think, at least not in the short term.  He’s required to hold the shares for a certain amount of time, and I think at best can request a waiver in order to sell 1% quarterly at most.  I’m not saying it’s nothing, but this entire thing isn’t going to be liquid wealth for the time being, and presumably not until the election is over.  

So libsoftiktok is goi g to get banned right?

Right?

RIGHT?

Evil Dead was better than it had any right to be so who knows.

Yes, because I’m sure even if it gets tossed that Abbott will go along with it no problem.

Looks better than the last one, I just wish there was less obvious cgi.

True. What do they call the trope in comic books? Fridging or something? It's a thing, and it's been long identified as a sexist issue.

I wish I knew what it was about conspiracies that so many people find compelling. I know people who think that Qanon is obvious bullshit but do believe that Epstein ran a pedophile blackmail operation despite a lack of evidence for both. I feel like I’m missing something. 

You’re not missing anything except for the sweet, sweet taste of lead based paint.

Edges are superior in barbecue and lasagna and that’s it.  The gooey, barely cooked center of brownies, cinnamon rolls, pretzels are the best part by far.

Among Us was a huge cultural event amongst the youths for like 3-4 months in 2020 at the height of lockdown.

 

My understanding is that no one cares about it anymore and they will care even less 2 years form now when this comes out.

I don’t think that not being the absolute top of the zeitgeist means no one cares anymore, it still has thousands of concurrent players.

I’m just laughing at the idea of Rodgers thinking he can be VP, as well as the starting QB for the Jets.

 

In fact, it’s even funnier that RFK thinks it.

Wait, have they actually stated he can do both?

Why the fuck am I seeing something with libsoftiktok on it?

If’s like an ouroboros of idiocy.  Aaron Rodgers is the stupidest man alive BUT… RFK exists and would make Rodgers VP making Rodgers NOT the stupidest man alive, which in turn makes choosing him NOT the stupidest possible decision which means RFK is now not the stupidest man alive and it reverts back to Rodgers EXCEPT… that makes choosing him the stupidest possible decision so the crown goes BACK to RFK…

I’m not a knee jerk “AI = bad” I just remember there being complaints about it and seeing some sketchy looking shots.  I was just curious if anyone actually watched it on disc because a single frame can look terrible in isolation but totally fine in motion and I think the screens were from a stream and not the hard copy.

Has anyone seen them?  I remember screen grabs coming out and people saying the 4k remaster on True Lies was some AI upscale bullshit that looked terrible.

WRT how easy it is to get a prescription.  A couple of weeks ago, Radio-Canada (French version of CBC) documented a 14-year old (without their parents) who was able to get a Testosterone prescription within 17-minutes of their first appointment at a gender clinic (they were not referred there by a therapist, psychologist, etc.). YMMV on whether this is an appropriate level of consultation.  Taking testosterone for a 14-year old transboy is not apples-to-apples with puberty blockers, but is arguably significantly more permanent.

Edit:  This was a "journalist sting", where they hired an actress because they had heard this was a problem.

 

The reason the NHS (and the health authorities in Sweden and Finland) have "blocked" puberty blockers for the treatment of gender dysphoria is that they don't believe there is sufficient evidence about there long term safety and efficacy.  They have committed to kicking off a study this year to determine this. That said, there does seem to be a path forward, at least according to the BBC article, for some to get access to them.

In particular, one of the concerns that is repeatedly cited is that there are a number anecdotal reports of of bone density in teens being equivalent to someone with osteoporosis after several years of use. Anecdotes does not science make, but there doesn't seem to be much science here anyways.

You can go to a shitty doctor and get a script for pain pills if you’re dedicated.  Should we ban all pain medication?  The existence of shitty doctors does not negate actual medicine, it means you deal with the shitty doctor.  

I wonder how this all plays out.  Are the traditional big GOP spenders going to happily cut the same checks to the obvious grift?  

Trump, like most modern nazis, seems to have an Indiana Jones understanding of the man and the country.  Even if you ignore the fact the realigning the German economy into a war machine was illegal, it also completely doomed his country.  The entire thing ran on stolen wealth and they actually stole LESS than they anticipated.  Even if they had somehow “won” WWII, the entire German economy would have fallen to pieces the second it had to do anything but fuel the war.  He rebuilt the economy in the same way a cocaine addiction will get you up and moving.  There might be a part in the middle where it seems to be doing something, but you were doomed from the start.

That's probably 90% true 

It’s 100% true.  There are plenty of interviews of chuds where they say the problem is people coming here illegally and they should go through the process, then when asked if we should make the process easier the answer is a hard no.

It’s hard to imagine Dragon Ball even ending, it’s not like there’s some sort of logical conclusion it just goes.  Berserk had a major conflict that could, in theory, end.

People don’t understand how bad the Covid response under Trump was. The US has about 4% of the world population but is responsible for 17% of all Covid deaths. If Hillary had been president during Covid 800000 people would still be alive. 

I certainly think Trump poured gasoline on the fire and that he actively undermined things that could help, but a huge problem with America right now is nonsense conspiracy minded horseshit.  I don’t think that if Hilary were president, that the horse paste chugging 5g loonies would have just played ball with everyone else.

Oh shit.   80's NES kid boner.

Looks like the best Contra attempt since Shattered Soldier.

Contra IV came out five years after Shattered Soldier and is much better.

If you want to scratch the Contra itch, Valfaris is also quite good even if it doesn’t follow the one hit=death formula.
