Fight Club was booed when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival (1999)
Edward Norton remembers it “got booed hard.” and organizers walked out.
During the backlash, Brad Pitt turned to Norton and said:
“That’s the best movie I’m ever going to be in.”

Steve Bannon: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms.
Mike Davis: “I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places”
Saying the quiet part out loud.

Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
A bird pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone’s relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.
However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird’s beaks and claws. By analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
MTA then hired an ornithological behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentage
of truck kills versus car kills.
The the ornithological behaviorist eventually concluded the cause: when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout “Cah“, not a single one could shout “Truck.”

BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump the government shutdown!
"The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, ‘OK let’s accept their offer…’ Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump] said ‘No! No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week but the President said ‘no deal.’”
This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN!
Even Republicans are acknowledging it.

Michael Jordan played 13 seasons with the Chicago Bulls. 10 of those seasons, he was scoring champion.
In the 3 seasons that he wasn't, the first one, his rookie season, he was 3rd, half a ppg behind Bird. The other two, he was injured and missed 64 games, and was retired all but the last 17 games of the season.
11 full seasons in Chicago and 10 scoring titles.
And in those 10, he was all-nba 1st team 10 times, all-nba 1st defensive team 9 times, nba champion 6 times, finals mvp, 6 times, nba league mvp 5 times, led the league in steals per game 3 times, and made more than 50% of his shots
The type of fake greatness that LeBron twitter swarms him with, for every little superficial achievement and longevity milestone, is a pebble to the Mount Everest-sized real and unattainable dominance and nearly fkn impossible to replicate greatness that Michael Jordan delivered.
There's a ton of reasons, none superficial, none fake, that the NBA named its Most Valuable Player trophy for its most valuable player all-time. The first reason is that Michael Jordan is the greatest player in the game's history and will be for another century.
Be real mad.

Another cornerstone of Project 2025 and the Trump republicanism is to intentionally break government services and say “see government doesn’t work” so they can try to privatize essential services with tax payer money to enrich their friends

This is at the gate, after she, a U.S. citizen, cleared security.
Guilty until proven innocent with no due process is how it works under fascism.

ICE has refused REAL ID and confiscated passports.
There is no way to prove your citizenship if they've decided you don't have it. There is no accountability when they violate your rights.
MAGA has turned America into a third world country.
Abolish ICE and the PATRIOT Act.

All Hell is breaking out at SFO Airport after ICE was sent there by Trump & they randomly detained a mother & her daughter! Witnesses say it was one of the most horrifying things they’ve seen & they gave no reason for their detainment! It’s going to get ugly soon as you can see!
