… Organtic

If that doesn’t work, turn on the tv and try to repeat the words you hear immediately after you hear them, but absolutely silently. The goal is to echo the television ij your head.

That is your internal monologue.

Now imagine you’re trying to sleep and the asshole part of your brain starts talking about the reality dumb-ass shit you did 25 years ago…

Now imagine that you just got a song stuck in your head. You know the song really well… and you can’t stop repeating the hook in your mind.

It’s your brain silently reading the captions of the narration of the images of your train of thought.

I agree that moving to digital saved so much time, and I’ll never miss brainwraps or thrown platters… but working booth shifts threading projectors were some of the happiest times I had running theaters.

I’ve gotten bad keys from the studio before, usually when we were doing advanced screenings. It was a relatively quick fix… I think the longest delay was ~15 minutes. I never had to cancel a show because of it, certainly didn’t have to close the entire building.

For as much as I loved the convenience of digital, I really miss the days of 35 film.

high bars already helped prevent a fascist who was already in the White House from making such a move to consolidate power and remain in office.

No, Trump’s absolute incompetence and Dan Quayle helped prevent those things from happening. He has since realized how much more damage he could have done which is why he’s so fucking desperate to win again, because he wants to do that damage.

Are’s?

IANAL. Also… I’m not a lawyer, so please feel free to correct me… But I don’t know if the CO case resulted in a “conviction”.

But until a higher bar is met, this low bar could easily be exploited by the next Trump fascist who needs only get some 2-bit State judge from some red state to conclude of their own volition that the next liberal is treasonous / insurrectionist and there ya go —

We absolutely need to stop using the “if we hold these criminals accountable for legitimate reasons, they might use it against us for illegitimate reasons” BS.

These people are thoroughly unscrupulous, and they will use whatever means they want to further their agenda.

The very fact that you’re scared of them using legitimate laws in illegitimate ways is EXACTLY why they should be stopped.

Boot?

Dude, if you want to be Trump’s VP pick, just ask.

You just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, motherfucker!

I agree 100%. Texas COULD be doing more to help themselves, but that’s not the Republican Way. They’re holding the gun in the Eric Andre meme and New York is Hannibal Buress.

Right. So should Texas.

But fine, if Texas wants to hot potato these people to other cities and states, let’s give these other places portions of the federal money earmarked for Texas border control so they can build the infrastructure.

My understanding is that Maine was able to do what it did BECAUSE of the ruling in CO. A CO judge determined that Trump is an insurrectionist, so he’s an insurrectionist everywhere. Just like how a trial in NY determined Trump is a rapist. He’s a rapist in every state, not just NY.

It’s also important to note that in the CO trial, Trumps team didn’t deny that he engaged in the behavior he was accused of, they simply said he was exercising his First Ammendment rights. The judge determined that his actions weren’t protected by the First. Hence, he’s an insurrectionist.

Are you suggesting that a federal border crossing is unprepared to handle people crossing the border?

It’s not that the blue cities don’t want the people, they just want warning and the ability to prepare for them.

No. I’m suggesting that suits are filed, a hearing is held and a judge hands down a verdict based on the evidence.

This past November a Colorado district judge ruled that Trump absolutely engaged in an insurrection against the US government. She declined to remove him from the ballot because of some chickenshit reasoning that the office of President is not specifically mentioned in Article 3. So she kicked it up to the CO Supreme Court which actually followed through on the ruling that being an insurrectionist makes one ineligible for office.

So no, it wasn’t just an accusation.

A) under section 3 he doesn’t need to be convicted of anything.

B) fascists don’t need an excuse to abuse their power, which is why the can’t be allowed to achieve a position of power.

By which they mean they will sacrifice as many people as they must to accomplish their stated goals, thereby actually martyring them. There’s literally no such thing as “a living martyr”.

How are you not getting this? You cannot be considered a martyr until you have died in service or your religion, either by righteous sacrifice or by capital punishment for actions of faith.

Look, I get where you are coming from. You’re trying to apply logic and reason to a situation where there isn’t much of either. Religious zealots and unscrupulous nationalists are doing terrible things to each other, and there’s a shitload of innocent civilians stuck in the middle. But your oversimplification of “hamas should surrender without condition” conveys a tremendous lack of understanding of what either side hopes to accomplish.

For the record, I don’t necessarily disagree with you. I believe Hammas could do much more good in the long run by surrendering, thereby ending the conflict… but then the eyes of the world would be on Israel as they continued to bulldoze Gaza and make life for innocent Palestinians even harder. But that’s still a shitty take because the innocent still suffer, and the world would likely just turn away and ignore it until the next time a terrorist does something terrible.
