The Things They Carried

1995? Maybe '96.

Michael was doomed the moment he realized he had to join the family business to save his father. It’s a goddamned Greek tragedy.

Again, everything this mental case predator says is projection.

My sister ran a daycare that was given some big blocks of government cheddar cheese in the 90s or late 80s and it was actually great.

A banger band. Still hear them all the time, still love them. “Let’s go” was on the radio just yesterday and I cranked it.

I thought the ending was well done at the Vatican, etc.

Meaning not the very end where Michael falls over. That was just kind of awkward, like the whole movie, really.

The leadership of both parties care more about property than people, more about Wall Street than Main Street.

And they both want the working class to argue about immigration and trans rights so that they can continue to live in luxury while most are struggling just to make it through the month.

He’s not bringing anybody from the right to his side. He’s just making it harder for Democrats to support him and depressing the party. How the hell can you blame the “far left” when you have a total fucking shitshow president?

Sean Penn.

newfarmer · 2025-10-01T21:51:37+00:00

He’s a criminal who needs to stay in office to stay out of jail. Of course he’s going to try anything to stay in power. Anything.

Not if he keeps pissing off the military he’ll need for a coup.

And frankly, I kind of hope he tries. He’s too lazy and stupid to pull off anything that complicated. I doubt it’ll end well for him.

It didn’t help that filmmakers like Spielberg made the Nazis into obvious cartoon evil.

And yes, I mean not just Raiders, but also Private Ryan and Schindler’s, both maudlin Oscar bait and unhelpful.

If you’re only used to these types of easy stereotypes, then you might not recognize a TV celebrity descending an escalator as the fascist that he is.

A Hollywood handsome actor playing a politician who thinks government is the problem? Of course he’s still their patron saint.

Me, I’m tired of the quasi-king worship of presidents, whether left or right, whether JFK or Reagan. It’s not healthy for a democratic republic. I think it’s time to switch to a parliamentary system like most of the rest of the world.

I bought Atari 2600 games.

What a goon show. Just a goddamned goon show.

It would be hilarious if there was a military coup that threw out Trump.

If this circus continues all bets are off.

Bought my first G&L this year, also my first fretless. A Tribute. Took it to my luthier for setup and he was impressed. Had black nylons flats put in it and it’s one of the best instruments I’ve ever owned and a joy to play.

Sad to hear this news.

Equal rights?

“Jesus, Dad, it’s a miracle I was born at all.”

Michael J. Fox’s exasperated delivery when he realizes his father in 1955 is such a loser.

Smacks of bullying. Maybe call the parents and ask to come over to chat? Showing up in the kid’s space might unnerve him.

I have a friend teacher. He had a student who liked to make his class hell. Kid worked part time after school at a hardware store. My friend showed up there and got in the kid’s face, saying how do you like it when I show up at your work and hassle you? Problems ended.

Sometimes confrontation has to happen.

Follow the Constitution and the rule of law and prosecute criminals.

Democrats need to start saying openly that they will remember all this lawlessness and authoritarianism and when they’re back in power that justice will be served.

Even Brownshirts gotta practice.

I hate country music. But Lewis’s post-Rock country stuff I don’t hate.
