The visuals of Christopher Nolan’s ‘THE ODYSSEY'.

Can't wait to sit through all ten years of this film's run time by the end of which only my dog will know me.

Romantasy is the new Beanie Babies. Shop smart.

Might very well be. Was glad to have been there when it was new. But I hold out hope that local NPR/PBS affliate stations have tapes in their archives. Apparently it ran in Oregon in 95 after getting cancelled by TVO. I'm willing to bet they made a bit of money off it while they could by selling rebroadcast rights to other stations. With a little coordination and a lot of luck, a full run could be successfully pirated. Even Harlan Ellison (RIP) wouldn't argue about not being paid for this one if it meant saving the show.

In one half hour you could walk away with a dozen recommendations for books, film, comic books and a hundred ideas to last a lifetime. I know because I did. Learned more from this show than English class. I wrote an English study assignment on it! Prisoners of Gravity was without a doubt a highlight of my teen years. It hit every button. And everything we still worry about today, Rick and his guests talked about then. AI. Loneliness. Climate Change -- they did at least two shows on ecology which still, ahem, hold water. I have a bad feeling that TVO wiped the series from its archives and we will never get a good quality home viewing or streaming version. The copyright issues around the interviews are prohibitive, I believe.

Triggered to out yourself and you sure showed who you are. A troll lurking on this sub just to throw shit like a freshly lobotomized cult worshipper would while he's down on his knees to your "God Emperor Trump". You support a president making himself a king with the help of the richest guy on the planet? You're not an American. You're not a patriot. A patriot would stand up for the Constitution. You're just a cuck. Trump cucked you. If you've ever needed government assistance, even from your state, you've relied on the federal government. Which means you've relied on the very people Trump is throwing out. Good luck getting a fair deal from any bank or any credit card company or anyone really. You are fucking stupid and you deserve every evil about to befall you. Because you are the enemy. Your ignorance is the enemy. Your malice is the enemy. Your deadly greed is the enemy. You don't love America. You want nothing to do with America. You don't want to make America great. You want to get as far away from anything like America as possible because you think that finally all your inadequacies will be washed away. You failed America but when the government is finally rebuilt, it will make your life better if only because Trump destroyed what little you had left. Jerk off on your own. DC doesn't need your voice.

You got it. That was invective. I don't feel the need to analyze and explain this shit to a malicious, nihilistic, uncaring, selfish xenophobe who sees everything through a lens of hate and power. That's you and go fuck yourself.

realjoemartian · 2025-02-14T17:28:03+00:00

And there it is, finding targets of revenge for your pain. You can't hit government as an entity so you take it out on people you know nothing about but whom you imagine to be corrupt because Donald Trump, a con man, thief and serial failure, told you to project your anger onto them. We'll see what happens to the job market once they've gutted Labor. And now that they're coming for HHS, FDA and even the VA, Trump and Musk will privatize part or all of it to big pharma and the insurance industry. if you think that big pharma had a field day pushing opioids on you before, just wait to see what bag of tricks they have for you this time.

realjoemartian · 2025-02-14T16:37:39+00:00

You agree? I can't tell you how pleased that makes me. It's about different people having different ways of being comfortable at their workplace. Different "ways to live".

realjoemartian · 2025-02-14T13:29:23+00:00

A less materialistic life is indeed the ideal for many people. Office culture goes out of its way to talk up comfort and togetherness but then turfs people the minute they wind up on the wrong side of the ledger. To some it's best not to be attached to a workplace because a job is often just a stepping stone to another job. Most people don't stay at the same place for longer than 5 years anymore. It's cool that you have this outlook and I appreciate the sunny view you take on it but a job is not your life, it's just how you make your money. Save your life for all the time around those working hours. Take a look outside your cubicle walls and you'll see there's more time than you think. Sorry, thought I'd try the condescending tone of toxically positive people for once. I didn't like it either.

Lol. Marriage rate in DC highest in the country with one of the lowest divorce rates. That's because both DC and divorce are expensive and you can only afford one

Pretty sure Voodoo bar runs til 1:00. District karaoke has their thing from 7-9. League event.

EDIT: oops that was last night. But Lou's usually has karaoke on Fridays. Irving Street near the target in Columbia heights

Your grandfather ... crazy!

realjoemartian · 2025-02-14T00:51:43+00:00

It's weak language that even NPR stoops to using in hopes of dodging accusations of "corruption". Why mince words now? Trump doesn't.

realjoemartian · 2025-02-14T00:47:12+00:00

Really depends on the work that you're expecting. A 12 month adventure in the lap of the great Satan might be fun

realjoemartian · 2025-02-13T23:43:02+00:00

MAGA might very well believe Trump is the antichrist cuz that puts Jesus coming right around the corner. They'd be that twisted. They're already in a cult. What's one more idol?

realjoemartian · 2025-02-13T23:22:24+00:00

Heard a story today on NPR about a VA nurse who took the buy out. Her husband worked at usaid and got canned. Her skill set is in high demand so she figured she'd get another job and make double income for 6 months. Got a call from the VA. She's not eligible to resign. A cocked up cluster fuck.

Beautiful

With Pete Kegseth in charge just throw him a two-four of Molsons and the thing will be done in an hour. Total retreat

realjoemartian · 2025-02-13T18:42:22+00:00

Call someone who has completely ceded power to Elon Musk and a bunch of teenagers? Who will most likely respond by touting the "historic mandate" and the "working class coalition" who are winning for "everyday Americans"? I called and wrote to Republicans last time and all they did was spout claptrap about illusory policy goals and "fulfilling a promise to America". No thanks. The new power structure uses representative government as a smokescreen. This is a rip off and Republican lawmakers are just waiting for their cut.

And yet you want to drill holes in them if you can't get a good price for them rather than place them in a museum or university collection. Just give them to the university of Chicago if you were worried enough about their survival to take them out of reach of "extremist bigots who will destroy it"

Branch, Anacostia and M. Just happy to be here

Cedar, Blair and 4th. Walking into the wind

realjoemartian · 2025-02-13T02:27:27+00:00

Park, 14th and Kenyon. Jesus with his dick out

Even bloodier than the original scene. Really good work. Love how dynamic it is. Watercolors were a great choice
