A very small number of people have voted by now, and we know who will be running in November: a man who doesn't know what he's saying versus a man who doesn't know who he is.

Live in the South they said. It's warm here they said.

January should be too early to start a thread like this, but the Republican Iowa Caucus is this coming Monday. Frightfully early. The Democrats are having theirs a bit later. In both parties it seems the incumbent will be the nominee. Of course we can't know anything until people actually start voti...

What the actual <censored>?

(It is a self censor)

Well, if adult women want to profit off of being attractive, who am I to say "no"?

I had to take a break from forums in general. Now I'm easing back in with the nicer forums.

So Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank have just gone down, closed by regulators. Silicon Valley Bank was the bank for the tech industry. This is the biggest bank fall in years. Plus it echoes the dot-com bust. Signature Bank was involved in Crypto investment as well. Usually bank collapses, espe...

Yes, but sending Galadriel back as a reward for her diligent activities against Sauron goes against how those who left can't come back until it is time for them to do so. Also, she spent 150 years looking for Sauron and finding nothing, but on her way back from the boat she met a guy whose village w...

The critics are overall giving it high reviews, with the fans giving it much more critical reviews. There is an indication that Amazon (and its child company IMDB) are removing negative reviews. I think the negativity can be extreme. I was hooked from Galadriel's opening line: "Life moves prett...

Perhaps even with all its impurities, PJ's version is pure compared to this.

This makes me nervous. They seem to be disregarding established lore in a significant way. They're also angrily attacking the fans who defend the lore, which is never a good sign. From what I've seen the writing doesn't quite measure up. Then there's the "controversial" bits. Apparently Mi...

Some people are complaining that Gomez looks very different from the Raul Julia and John Astin renditions. While I greatly admire their portrayal, I've seen a counter that this particular Gomez looks a lot more like the version from the original Charles Addams cartoons.

I just saw the teaser for Wednesday Addams.

This may be the first good addition to the Addams Family cinematic spectrum since Addams Family Values.

I post. I'm new.

Ouch.

When I think of protests that lead to PTSD, I generally think of protests that have arson, looting, assaults, and even murders going on. Truckers honking their horns during daylight hours generally doesn't make the list. They are protesting perfectly reasonable guidelines that have saved thousands o...

That's cats for you.

I see.

The key point here is that a spokesman for the governor, Charles Boyle, said the bill would aid "Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color." It can be considered a stretch to equate "he specifically singled out minorities" and "...

They are protesting perfectly reasonable guidelines that have saved thousands of lives. That is not how they saw their actions. That's important. I find today fewer people acknowledge different points of view existing. Are you saying the news didn't want to cover the protest? What utter bullshit. I...
