Patrick, Death Butterfly Monarch

Come on and watch me blabber about stuff. And be sure to pack an extra chromosome.

In the era of tight pants, Chuck Norris released a line of jeans with extra room in the crotch in case you needed to kick someone in the face

In 2007, when Chuck Norris visited Marines in Western Iraq, he demanded to get away from large bases and instead visit the small FOBs and COPs. MNF-W said it would be too dangerous, but Norris insisted and in the end, got his way. I'm forever grateful for the example he set, and this awesome choke hold.

It appears as if we got the answer to whether a woman would choose a man or a bear to be alone with in the woods. It’s the man. But only if that man is Chuck Norris. I’d like to believe that if given the choice, Chuck would’ve chosen to go to Hell instead of Heaven so he could roundhouse kick demons for all eternity. R.I.P. to a true legend.

Chuck Norris, who once stopped a chainsaw with his bare hands, has passed away at 86. Rest in Power✊

Dammit. Rest in peace.

There's always a bigger fish. 😳

The GOP when the SAVE Act has an 80+% approval rating

I’ve been put on some interesting lists over the years.

This is a wildly optimistic view of the future. Allow me to give a much more sober minded prediction on what will occur should we be crushed in 2028: What will immediately happen first on the Republican/Right wing side of the aisle is that the still existent Establishment will immediately swing leftward. They will blame MAGA for being far too right wing, too extremist, and attempt to get back to fiscal conservatism, small government, and family values, dropping all pushes for immigration restrictions or fighting for White Americans, or Christianity which seeks to assert itself in the public sphere. Anyone who is connected with this or with MAGA will be systematically purged from all levers of power, every position possible, and they will be replaced as much as they can be by the Brilyn Hollyhands of the world, alongside a massive DEI push to get every single non-White and/or female possible who is even slightly in their favor to fill every possible position they can in an attempt to win back minority voters whom they will blame MAGA for chasing away, and whom they will assert are natural conservatives. Essentially, almost everyone to the right of Lindsay Graham will get fully assaulted by a resurgent Neocon wing. The Neocon wing will win, as they have vastly more money, more power, and are better at playing politics than you or I or most like us. It doesn’t end there. On the left wing Democrat side, as they take power, they will push for three things first and foremost. First, increased immigration and amnesty. They will likely create a program to deliberately find and bring back virtually everyone deported and hand them citizenship immediately as reparations for the human rights abuses they underwent from ICE. More amnesty will come under the same justification. Refugees will be let in enmasse. It will put what the Biden admin did to shame. Overnight, irreparable demographic transformation of the population. It does not end there, as secondly they will ensure Democracy reigns supreme. In order to most effectively utilize this new citizen base to get them to vote, measures will be taken to encourage electoral participation. They will likely make Election Day a holiday to increase voter turnout as an example. This will make it so there is a snowballs chance in hell of ever dethroning them in an election and they will secure permanent presidential victory alongside an unbeatable supermajority in all houses. And even still, they will do more. Because they will weaponize every aspect of the judicial system and the weight of the government on you, on me, on everyone who exists who even remotely poses a threat. Look at what happened to VDare. Now apply that nationwide. The IRS is going to audit and scrutinize everyone on the right. The FBI is going to investigate and embed themselves and arrest as many as they can. By 2032, MAGA, America First, and NXR for that matter will be a distant memory. You will have been sued out of existence, your entire website and operation deplatformed from everything, and more than likely, antifascists have firebombed your home or otherwise threatened or harmed you and your family because their networks now have tacit support from the state to do so through their robust support network of NGOs and judicial apparatus which will decline to prosecute or give slaps on the wrist for doing so. This is what is most likely to occur, because if the enemy is even half competent they will do all of that and more. You are right in one aspect though Joel. The best way to avoid all of this is by ensuring that Republicans do not lose in 2028, because even a government that will do literally nothing is far preferential to our enemies ruling over us.

therapy is disgusting & sacrilegious it’s an attempt to recreate the Catholic confession, but instead of talking to a priest, you talk to a homosexual transgender communist

Posting this again because I love Rocky so much.

If you see Project Hail Mary this weekend, I hope you'll remember how I told you over 3 years ago that stuff like this was going to explode in pop culture. -From ironic cynicism to post-ironic sincerity. -Embracing the "cringe" & the celebration of the earnest "try-hard." -From deconstructing the past, to a nostalgia for some positive "vibe" we lost in the deconstruction. -The rejection of Fight Club-era nihilism. -The ability to stare at the apocalypse in front of you and be hopeful instead of a "doomer."

me and who

Project Hail Mary feels like a radical act of optimism, proof that high-stakes sci-fi doesn’t have to be cynical. It finds awe in curiosity, connection, and the idea that even the most ordinary person can rise to meet something extraordinary.

IT IS TIME GO to the movies. PROJECT HAIL MARY is in cinemas tonight. This is a very special film & I’m really proud of it. It’s a rare thing these days for a studio to make a big original non-franchise movie, so take advantage & see it on the biggest screen you can!

Just watched Project Hail Mary and Grogu ain't got shit on Rocky. Bois...take your ladies to see this movie

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real. The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later. Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him. Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman. Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact. 95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.

yes instead of smoking he just did transgender homosexual communism all over America
