It just sounds tough.

Anyone who has been to Alcatraz knows it's not salvagable. You can't turn that pile of crap into a modern incarceration facility.

Reality receded long ago. It's why they love AI slop so much. It allows them to cast melting potato body Trump as a hugely muscled superman.


at least we'll always have The Rock

such a good 90's movie

I still read the name "Womack" with Connery's voice every time I see it written!


I have never seen The Rock despite knowing someone who is in it (Todd Louiso).

"In a surreal scene on the White House lawn decorated with flowers and Easter dΓ©cor, Trump decided on Monday to give reporters an update on the Iran war as children waited nearby and someone in a bunny costume was steps away from him."

cool! his role was small but I think he executed it perfectly.

I wonder how actors like watching themselves portray unflattering characters. Do they separate well? Or do they cash the check and never look back?

Tropic Thunder plays on the idea, but afaiu Jim Carrey went a little cray after Man On The Moon.





meanwhile over here:

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Tuesday that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran fails to meet his latest deadline to strike a deal that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz


on twitter people are like "omg! I can't believe an American president is threatening genocide"

business as usual for American presidents.


usually they have the decency to deny it

i don't know who this lady is, and she's neither attractive enough nor naked enough for me to care

i don't know who this lady is, and she's neither attractive enough nor naked enough for me to care

this is an absolutely disgusting response to the content of that video


uh oh



so I guess we have less than 2 hours before nuclear war

hopefully I don't spend my final hours arguing with rickroll about respecting and valuing people for who they are


I didn't watch the video, but if it's the one she made years ago, where she is just interviewing people on the street in Israel, it's an incredible video. I assumed it was that one

I have no intention of doing so either but i wasn’t going to let it pass without comment.


Yay! You get to spend it with me instead!

:p

I've been spending my finals hours working on a stupid laser printer that I'm busting/fixing so I can then work/print taxes due while the mushroom cloud circles the Earth.


I'm doing lawn and garden cleanup.


Looks like TACO negotiated a ceasefire with himself.

****ing terrorist.


Happy days are here again!

Happy days are here again!

you heard he *didn't* nuke iran, right? :p


seems like threatening nuclear war to open a shipping lane should be grounds for 25th ammendment

also the whole raping kids thing

and about a million other things
