E: Love is stronger than anything you can throw at us. M:...no it's not. Love is stronger than anything I can throw at you? I can throw an elephant at you. YOU THINK A THROWN ELEPHANT WOULDN'T CRUSH YOU BECAUSE OF LOVE? C: She was speaking metaphorically... -The Good Place.

My 6Y0 wanted to watch the entirety of The Ten Commandments (1956) (free on YouTube) after I showed him clips related to a school project. Fun topics from a 6Y0: -What is slavery? -What happens when a slave refuses to work? -Why was Ramesis' betrothed necking with Moses problematic?

Can’t stop watching this

My 6YO son's school is doing a world religions unit covering the Abrahamic faiths and he was talking to me about Pharaoh and Moses. I reward him by showing him clips from The Ten Commandments (1956). He asked me why Pharoah had his shirt off. I lied and told him because it's warm in Egypt.

For Stranger Things, the "these actors are not kids" observation really hit home when Erica (Lucas's smart-ass little sister) made her appearance, and I looked her up, and she's 19.

I do not envy the headache you will have when you awake. But for now, rest well and dream of large women, Charlie Brown.

My 6YO kid is learning about Macedonia, so I decided to read him the epic of Gilgamesh. The goddess Ishtar propositions Gilgamesh to go to pound down...graphically...and Gilgamesh turns her down...explicitly. Imagine if Aphrodite offered Paris sex and he declined and called her a proxied whore.

@titonka.bsky.social I understand this is a tricky professional matter to address, but she lies to you, insults your peers, and openly displays contempt for your profession. What is the net positive in attending these?

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

Why didn't Democrats request the Epstein files released in 2021? Kind of busy rounding up and punishing January 6 traitors.

Got to see Predator: Badlands and found it charming, funny, with good action and musical score. It expands the franchise with the societal lore of the Predators and continues to underline the immorality of Weyland-Yutani. It's also PG-13 and light on the foundational violence of the franchise.

Goon a movie: Chariots of Goons

Just to have something to say that isn't politics, I got to watch the Del Toro Frankenstein movie and it was: 1) Aesthetically very Del Toro. Grotesque and colorful. 2) Acting and music were great. 3) Story-wise, it was the book and a touch of what we have in other movies.

Hell yes. I’m there. 🍿

My uber religious cousin is posting on Facebook about how "they" killed Charlie Kirk and dark "forces" wanted him dead. I clarified that one specific person killed Kirk, and did so for articulable reasons. The correction was not well received.

A movie you've seen more than seven times with a gif.

Something annoying for me is that reports discussing the $376M update done under Obama and approved "under Bush" doesn't give the NAME OF THE BILL that would lead to proof of the rebuttal. But I did finally find the popular name of the construction, with the $376M AND that the bill was in 2001.

Got my Netflix subscription renewed and finally watched K-Pop Demon Hunters. Really enjoyed it. Great music, visuals, and humor. 'You really think a demon boy band will work?' [looks at the boy band] 'Yeah that will definitely work.'

Missed the boat of Ghost of Tsushima and giving it go in the afternoons. I LOL'd when I saw it had a Kurasawa mode. Take my vengeance on the Mongols? Pressing I'm sure. But first I must follow the wind to every hot springs in the land. And chase foxes.

The necromancer spews lies. Do not believe her pronouncements. Carry a sharp sword and remember that fear is also a weapon. And when the demon emerges from the hellmouth, strike but once, bold and true -- you may not get another opportunity.

Trump really wishes the room was full of young enlistees ready to hoot and holler instead of sober leaders.

Hegseth: Your job is to kill people and break things. Military people, is that what you understood your job to be?

Cousin just posted about how interesting an interview with Charlie Kirk was that indicated, amongst other things, that the American left are demon worshiping Satanist polytheists. I enjoy wishing her a Merry Christmas after her annual calls to pray for the lost.

Kiddoes were home sick from school and discovered my Warhammer box-o-stuff. So I got to show them off with ignored warnings not to touch. The Hammerhead was one of my last projects and looks, for my non-existent skill level, pretty nice I think.

For reference, being in a depressed mood and deciding to watch the new season of Generation V is NOT a good decision. It's like taking modern political cynicism and cranking it up 11. Much better to watch xenomorphs tear people apart.

Trump admitting to war crimes on the floor of the UN.

Got to go to a convention in Louisville Kentucky this past week and let me tell you, the Louisville Slugger museum and factory was amazing. The bats of Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Hank Aaron, and more. I picked up an untreated major league bat in their factory and I had Field of Dreams feels.

Listened to the NPR political podcast on Kirk's death and was impressed how they never actually brought up the specifics of what made him controversial. Dude would have said NPR and NPR reporters were leftist Marxists poisoning the minds of America with insanity about multiple genders.

To change up from the naked hypocrisy around Kirk's death, we now have 9/11. In September 2001, I was a senior in high school and watched the twin towers burn in my second period choir class. We would be at war for the next 23 years.

I recall someone saying it's gross that we wait after every shooting to see if the perpetrator conforms to the political identity of one side or the other. Really hoping it was a crazy from Kirk's side of the fence. Because the Right is already nailing him to the cross and calling for vengeance.

Barrasso appears to be wavering on RFK. It sounds like doctors are talking to him and are making him concerned. Also, good god RFK needs to mute his mic and stop breathing like a lunger into it.

In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action. Powerfull content

Couldn't campaign over the weekend. Something is in the air, and I just felt like garbage.

Watching Predator: Hunter of Hunters and thinking hunting Vikings in the middle of winter would be...easy mode? They came in the overly hot summers in first two movies because it gives the humans a slight edge over the heat based vision.

Finally sat down and watched Alien Earth, and man, the first episode was TENSE. Did a great job setting the board. Second episode was also good and man, while the alien got a boost as a fast killer, the other creatures have a strong ick and suspense factor.

Saw a transformer on steep discount at Target and got it for my son. Scary looking guy with lots of pincers. When I changed him into a kind of cement mixer I had a feeling of dread. It was the live-action movie Constructicon. And there were instructions for joining six others to make a big one.

Saturday Night Roleplay: -We want to do a Vampire (CoD) game. -But actually, one wants to be a Prometheus. -And the other wants to play a Mage. -We want to do a Prometheus game of self-actualization with their Mage buddy. Now I get to write a story, populate it with NPCs, and get firm on the rules.

That special moment when you check the courts online document portal for the counter petition you drove downtown a month ago to file in person and paid out of pocket for and see that it's not one there. Really special stuff. eFile? Nope. That special shit is only for real attorneys.

Mother got COVID and mentioned in the group chat that "too many days have passed for ivermectin" The horse dewormer. Has the science changed on this? The most recent study I could find basically said no conclusive evidence. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Had a lady on Facebook yelling at me about how corrupt New York's congressional districts are drawn and how Nadler has a "strip of a district" that "defies common sense." This is what his district looks like:

Been playing Crusader Kings III and really enjoying the updates to scheming. It's like Oceans 11. Duke Eudo of France: Hey, who wants to assassinate the Sultan of Spain, who is also the liege lord of the Aquitaine? Sultan's Grand Vizer: You son of a bitch...I'm in.

Contributing the discussion about being lucky in love, they've been telling you since the 60s. Learn to dance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3zJ...

Just had a Data Analytics Team meeting and it was suggested that we don't treat CoPilot as a tool, but as a team member. Every Douglas Adams loving part of me rebelled in revulsion.

LOL. I definitely need to keep an eye on the Texas redistricting because my house is going to be moving from Texas 21 (yellow) to Texas 35 (orange) under Greg Caesar in the proposed plan.

Got out of Fantastic Four and really enjoyed it. The retro future aesthetic works so well, and everyone is so likable. Such a fun movie and it just screams pride in being a superhero comicbook movie. Galacticus and the Surfer look really good!

Watching the DNI presser and it's so much absolute bullshit. In 2016 the DNC e-mail server was hacked by Russian Intelligence and e-mails were given to Wikileaks for dissemination. The RNC was not hacked! Russia had a clear preference! Trump even cheered them on publicly!

Highly recommend the coverage of the Abrego hearing by Anna Bower. Judge Xinis is eating the DOJ attorney alive. bsky.app/profile/anna...

I've been having to deal with personal stuff the last few months, but the weekend after this I'll resume door knocking. Dear lord it's going to be hot outside.

Watching Jeffries get into hour 8, I would hope the Democratic Caucus is grabbing Republican members and having frank talks about the world to come should they vote yes instead of sitting on their asses clapping at Jeffries.
