In Jurassic world they wanted to train raptors to be ground troops. Doesn't seem so silly now.

At this point it would be irresponsible not to.

in "day of the dolphins" with george c scott iirc, the strapped bombs to dolphins and trained them to be suicide bombers and blow up ships

in Denmark or one of those ****ed up countries, they trained birds to pick up garbage, throw it away in some kind of vending machine, and get a treat in return. at least that's what Facebook told me, when my life got so bad I had to resort to scrolling facebook

The only mental image of George c Scott I have is from Patton where he's yelling at Rommel "You magnificent bastard! I read your book!"

he was fantastic in "the hustler"

and he was great in "Dr strange love" too. but I read he was furious and felt betrayed by the famous director, whatever his name is.. cuz the director lied to him!!! he told him to just go completely over the top, just for an exercise. but then the director ended up using the takes, against george's will

I forgot he was in The Hustler. I remember Piper Laurie being a hot mess. Jackie Gleason looking fresh like a baby. Those guys breaking Fast Eddie's thumbs so he has to use an open hand bridge.

Kubrick was famously abusive as a director, he put Shelley Duval through it on The Shining with hundreds of takes.

USA will blow up schools, nuke cities, centuries of genocide and slavery, etc....

but sometimes there are relatively little specific instances that just hit me... like the casual cruelty it takes to do something like this

the "banality of evil" was registered in response to lower-level Nazis' everyday participation in the practices of the regime

"casual cruelty" is a perfect parallel to today's concentration camp realities

Amazing headline, no notes

Even sleeper cells going woke

Can't wait for ICE to heroically dismantle the cells

rememebr in COVID when oil had negative value?

Hundreds of hospitals across the US, most of them in rural areas, are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy or closure in the wake of Trump’s signing of a spending and tax giveaway bill last year that gave billions in tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy while slashing healthcare, including Medicaid.

Common Dreams

While Cost of Living Soars and Healthcare Taken Away, Trump Spending $1 Billion Per Day in War of Choice With Iran | Common Dreams

Nancy Youssef of The Atlantic, ... reported, citing a congressional official, that a “preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 billion a day.”

“This war is costing a billion dollars a day,” said [Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii)]. “In one ****ing month we will spend more over there than we needed to save healthcare for more than 2 million Americans. They literally are taking away your food and your healthcare for this regime change war of choice.”

out with the nanny, in with the belligerent uncle who steals from the kids and makes them fight the neighbors around the block

lol democracy

lol equality

lol justice

lol freedom

I hear lefties saying that Iran is firing cheap shitty missiles and drones in an attempt to deplete usa and israel missile defense, while saving Iran good missiles to use later.

so they're saying that USA/israel will run out of missile defense, and then Iran will launch their good missiles and blow **** up.

I'm highly skeptical.

but it does seem true that Iran is launching 10k drones, that are being shot down by multi million dollar shots. lolusa

also, the debris from these battles are falling on people's houses, and it's in "neutral" countries where lolusa has bases. so yet another reason to not have a lolusa base in your country.

"donations"

$93 billion?!?

This is a fantastic headline! Well done.

for a second I got pete hesgeth and Pete buttigieg confused

might have been 93 billion dollar fruit basket stands, that made me think of buttigieg

I read that we have a laser ship out there, with more on the way

the laser essentially blinds the drone, causing it to crash, and is very cheap to shoot (activate)

could raise so much money selling tickets, ads, and merchandise for this debate
