@Jeffburneracct @ShadowTW__ @mikenorthw20858 @EricLDaugh Arizona locked their clocks to Standard Time for the Mountain Zone. And no one complains about it being too dark in summer.

@ShadowTW__ @mikenorthw20858 @LylePeters54308 @EricLDaugh Okay well it’s not a slam dunk on the issue. There are a lot of people who also prefer the opposite. Some states like Arizona I believe have already locked their clock. It should be left to the states and not a blanket national law like this.

🚨 JUST IN: The US House just PASSED legislation to abolish seasonal time changes, making Daylight Saving Time PERMANENT, 308-117 The bill now goes to the Senate, supported by President Trump If fully approved, this would mean NO MORE CLOCK CHANGES nationwide ☀️

@greg_price11 Will he be going to prison? "No, of course not."

Jack Smith explicitly denied under oath during his House Judiciary deposition last December that he reviewed text messages from members of Congress: Q: "Did the records that you requested from the Member of Congress include the content of text messages?" Smith: "No."

@imPatrickT @ColinBest1978 When you contact-print a Vista-Vision negative onto a 5-perf 70mm film print, you get a nearly perfect 1.85:1 aspect ratio. That's how most people experienced VistaVision in its heyday.

@ColinBest1978 VistaVision isn't about projection. It's a higher fidelity capture format with a larger image area. It makes for a better DCP, standard 35mm, IMAX and even 70MM presentations.

Here’s a quick refresh on VistaVision for DIGGER and a look at one of the cameras. VistaVision is standard 35mm film that runs horizontally through the gate for a larger negative. Roughly 2x larger. The digital equivalent is a full frame camera like the Sony Venice 2 and FX3.

@RetroBayArea The biggest reason for the move to Vallejo was the large lagoon that would be used for water skiing spectacles. But shortly after opening, pretty much all interest in water skiing died. They haven't used the lagoon or it's massive seating area in decades.

Scenes from Marine World Africa USA in Redwood City, 1985. I loved this place. The original Marine World was better than what Six Flags in Vallejo became. Not that it didn't have its own charm, it did, but Redwood City had something that never got replicated. 🎥: Ken Peterson

Denver DSA activist deletes his post of their meeting after getting roasted because over half the people in the room are wearing masks in July of 2026. Lmfao

These people are ridiculous. They have lost all tethers to a sense of self. Their entire identity now relies on this treasonous hate of America. They make up fantasies of how horrible America never was to justify their need to "fight tyranny." They have no identity but this. And they cling to it with a death grip, because they have nothing else. None of it is true. Not the fantasy about America about which she is shrieking, not her identity of believing herself to be some "hero" in a movie about an oppressive government, and not the resulting congress-free, senate-free, President-free, childish (and completely chaotic) future she sees for this country. She is an infant. She and others like her will not get their way. Not even close. If you have a modicum of common sense, it's time to let your line in the sand about tolerance be made known. Myself, I have a limit to tolerance. I have a limit to patience. I know there is a limit to free speech. If your plan is to tear down the United States of America, if your plan is treason, I will not tolerate you, I will have zero patience for you, and I will not defend your right to free speech. @FBI @FBIDirectorKash

@VHSDVDBLURAY4K That's Gotham's ass!

Most unnecessary backshot in cinema

@BuckTurgids0n @Oilfield_Rando "Bird hands." If you Google it, the rabbit hole calls.

Man... wife and I watched that show, too. That woman was brutal. She also kept doing that thing women do where they bring all their fingers together to point/gesture. This fucking thing. Drives me fucking nuts. All I could think at the end was "she got her husband killed," then profited off of it, and I'd bet with 95% certainty that she's already remarried and is currently ruining some other dude's life.

Wife was watching Netflix trash true crime show called WORST NEIGHBOR(?) Affluent black chick says they bought house in sketchy Oakland CA neighborhood bc she “valued diversity”. Well, neighborhood crackhead murders her husband in the street, broad daylight. She sues city. Lol.

This you?

@VHSDVDBLURAY4K Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. It's pure bliss until the three female villains in the van show up.

What movie is this ?

@Clyde69420 @ReadyHater0ne @GreeneMan6 And when a water meter becomes available, the board itself will shamelessly auction it for hundreds of thousands, because they're not even trying to hide what they do.

@ReadyHater0ne @GreeneMan6 They used water hookups as the control lever, the water district board was all no-growthers.

I take my family here for beach day trips and then we get scowled at for being “tourists” by the local Boomers living in 3 million dollar homes with “no human is illegal” yard signs because we live ever so slightly outside the depicted box. What happens here is my experience of “Bodega Nationalism”.

@HonestSportsFa5 Looks like retreat mining. Of all of my underground nopes, this is the nopest.

@nocontextmemes I would seek opportunities like this.

@rumatoest @LundukeJournal X11 is dead by its own hand. You already identified its replacement, XLibre.

@LundukeJournal Please, could you just stop posting this stuff. Wayland was not perfect for a long time. But at leas last 2 years it works better than X11 (on KDE). BTW lost all faith in the X11 after XLibre drama with commits reverting. X11 must die but what will replace it?

Linux Mint Says Wayland Worse Experience than X11 "We worked really hard on Wayland"... "and the experience is almost on par with X11."

"I swear, officer, she did NOT look like that in the ad. Can you make sure that's on the official record? I think I might have been defrauded, here."

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton is one of the great disgraces to an American patriot's memory in modern culture. Alexander Hamilton died the way he lived, defending the republic he helped build, taking a bullet from a sitting vice president rather than betray his principles. He wrote most of the Federalist Papers. He built the financial system that let a broke, war-torn collection of colonies become a country that could actually pay its debts and stand on its own. He created the Coast Guard, the national bank, the customs service. This is a man who genuinely believed in the American project and gave everything to it. And what did we do with that legacy? We turned him into a mixtape. We flattened one of the sharpest constitutional minds this country ever produced into a finger-gun revolutionary who raps about being "young, scrappy and hungry." We took a man whose whole life was an argument for strong institutions, order, and national credit, and sold him to teenagers as an anti-establishment rebel, which is almost the exact opposite of what he actually stood for. The musical skips his elitism, sands down his real politics, and dresses a hard-nosed banker up as a street underdog because it makes a better hook. And the cherry on top: In the musical, the historical character of Alexander Hamilton and the other founding fathers were white, but they are intentionally portrayed by Black, Latino, and Asian actors. The show’s creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, designed this deliberate casting to tell "America then, as told by America now," and to emphasize the story of immigrants building a nation. An absolute propagandizing of history that the low IQ masses eat up and believe as fact. In a serious country he would be punished for spitting on the memory of the men who actually built this country. This will only keep getting worse as these tribalistic people elect their own members into our institutions. That is not a tribute. That is a costume. A real patriot got buried under a soundtrack, and a whole generation now thinks they know him because they memorized the lyrics.
