@MOVIEDEATHBLOWS Yep, the show kinda sucked too

Does the sound suck for anyone else on this Punisher movie on Disney+ #Punisher

@silverface78 @DisneyPlus @MarvelStudios Same here,

@DisneyPlus @MarvelStudios did you guys screw up the sound on the new Punisher? I have a 1000 wpc AV receiver with a mix of klipsch and vintage pioneer surround speakers. I’m having to crank the volume 3 times normal just to hear the voices. Not worth watching if I can’t hear it

@FrankLuntz Rather see a cognitive test than an age limit.

What should be the maximum age limit for members of Congress?

78% of Democrats support both age caps and term limits for members of Congress. 83% of Republicans back maximum age limits, and nearly 9 in 10 support term limits. npr.org/2026/05/07/nx-…

@JackCarrUSA Having to go back and rewatch now after listening to.

@Riley_Gaines_ When our child was born early and spent some time in NICU we had to keep a binder of all the medical bills we received to keep them straight… double billed a lot we found out.

6 months after our baby was born, we’re still getting random unexplained bills from the hospital. I call to ask what they’re for & they dont know. They charge whatever they want because they know people pay it. Contact your elected officials & demand hospital price transparency. No more mystery bills. cmpi.org/in-the-news/fi…

When I was in process of purchasing truck last Dec, quite a few dealers did not respond or gave me misleading information and could not clarify. On one I had to send his spreadsheet back show where they calculated the numbers wrong. Biggest turn off, I would ask “how do we get to your advertised price” and only one could show me.

" There was a Harvard business study that showed that if you respond to an internet lead within one minute, you have a 391% higher chance of converting that lead." Internet lead conversion is still a major challenge for dealerships. One operator says the answer came down to two things— Speed and video. Hicks Layton, Finance/Sales Manager at Hicks Automotive Group, breaks down how his team increased conversion from 5% to 15%.

@WeaponOutfitter Dr berg had a video on and since then I use red light once a week on eyes, it does help. NAD+ had a big impact on my eyes. I even told my wife to take some and then let me know what she notices. 3 days later she said "Do you see better? I swear I see better" I said bingo

My hair is fine, but I’m more interested in the studies on red light therapy (670nm) on eye health and regeneration. Shooting guns, cameras, both very visual pursuits

@DonShift3 I watched this movie over the weekend, different than I thought it might be but I enjoyed it Partly because of the perspective it was told from

I watched one of approximately three movies about the Rhodesian Bush War, and this is my review. “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight” is adapted from the eponymous memoir by Alexandra Fuller, who grew up in Rhodesia during the Bush War and it’s best approached on those terms. This is not a war movie in any conventional sense. It is a childhood memoir put on screen, one shaped by trauma, set against the background drop of the Bush War. The war is present, but rarely centered, instead preferring to explore (quite frankly) Fuller’s fucked up childhood in the midst of the war. From a cinematic auteur’s perspective, it is very well done film. This is a film about feral Rhodesian children. Having read the book, it’s hard to argue the film exaggerates. If anything, it restrains itself. While the adaptation necessarily smooths some edges for narrative clarity, it still goes to very dark places well beyond the war itself. The film makes no pretense of being a historical. Time is compressed and events are rearranged, as they were in the book—itself non-linear. On screen, the war functions as atmosphere and pressure and it works. The use of a child’s perspective is effective in conveying fear, confusion, and the menace of war and racial conflict. The mother is portrayed as aggressively, almost fanatically Rhodesian. That portrayal is not inconsistent with history. It recalls Kipling’s observation in “The Female of the Species,” and the film is perceptive in showing how women are the most ardent believers in ideology. Both the mother’s and father’s performances avoid caricature. Several scenes are genuinely immersive in that period of Rhodesia. The venerable FN FAL got plenty of screentime, though it didn’t play a starring or even supporting role. Unfortunately, there was no gunplay. Anyone expecting combat scenes will be disappointed. This is not that movie. The depiction of rural security measures is one of the film’s quieter strengths. It’s like still photos from the ‘70s have come alive. The convoy system on high-risk roads is shown well, including BSAP gun trucks escorting civilian traffic along mine-cleared routes. The appearance of period-correct Mazda B-series pickups, actually used by BSAP reservists, is a small detail that lands well. The reservists themselves are shown as men of widely varying ages, which accurately reflects the degree of white mobilization at the time. The father’s call-ups and the mother’s volunteer work as a BSAP “B girl” on the radios are treated as routine rather than heroic. The film also touches on the “Bright Lights” guards left to protect farms while able-bodied men were deployed elsewhere. These older or unfit men existed largely as deterrence, and the film captures both the intention and the quiet absurdity of the system. Many Rhodesians at the time, asked: why strip farms of their defenders only to send replacements who could not fight? The film did not explore this. One of the more effective sequences shows the aftermath of a farmhouse break-in (by terrorists) in which the black housemaid is brutally attacked for her loyalty to the family and left for dead. The father clearing the house and calling for help on the Agric-Alert radio is tense, but handled without melodrama. It’s matter-of-fact, which makes it more disturbing and realistic. The radio call was a nice touch. It was very interesting to see the coverage of the election regarding Bishop Abel Muzorewa (the moderate candidate) and Mugabe. After Mugabe’s victory, they show African squatters and the conflict this brought with the farmers, though squatting and land seizures didn’t become the major issue Zimbabwe is famous for until later. What it captures well is the pervasive tension between Africans and whites, and the ambiguity of loyalty on the farms. The bond between servants and the children they raise sits uneasily alongside adult skepticism and quiet support for the terrorists. When Jacob, the cook, warns that “the hills are watching,” the line works on both a literal and symbolic level. Whether as fighters or informers, the war was always closer than it appears. Taken on its own terms, “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight” succeeds. It’s a good movie that captures your attention and if you want to introduce the wife to the Rhodesian Bush War, she’ll probably like it too. If you want the much better perspective on Rhodesian rural life and the war, Fuller’s book is worth the read to humanize the history.

@WeatherMatrix I was in a study hall listening to radio in HS when it happened, I spoke out the space shuttle exploded and class went to the library to the only TV to see what was going on

I watched this live on TV at home (teacher work day or something). After the explosion there were brief oohs and ahhs until people realized what had happened. Definitely the biggest disaster I saw live on TV until 9/11. accuweather.com/en/space-news/…

@LizWolfeReason Prayers

Our sweet Sol has taken a turn for the worse in the NICU. We're lucky we got a few days with him off of breathing tubes--to nurse and play and snuggle--but now he's so sick we're not even able to hold him. We would love your prayers for wise King Solomon, our sweet baby.

@M44_1RJ He does have several companies, does not mean his net worth only came from Tesla …. Spacex likely been pumping that up

Let's get serious! If I'm a CEO whose net worth has increased 200% over a 5-year period, while the shareholders of the company I lead have seen only 13%, how would I feel? How would you feel? Let's be serious—someone from Community Notes has the audacity to tell the world my post is wrong, yet admittedly @elonmusk's net worth has doubled while his poor shareholders have seen 13%! What am I missing here, people? That’s not a good look for Elon nor Tesla - what are we paying Elon for ?! SHOW ME THE FUCKING MONEY 🤑 !! $TSLA

“Art of the deal”

@RealCynicalFox Could this be because the majority of people who could pass had signed up voluntarily?

As someone who obsessively studies WWII, I always love discovering something I didn’t know:

@zerohedge I remember moving to NC and being told the county was “dry”. I said it seems like this county gets a lot of rain to me… I had no idea what they were talking about at the time as I had never heard of a thing like that.

@charlescwcooke @lutherabel1 Have one in AR. Really like the butter burger

Went for the first time, recently, with @lutherabel1, and it was terrific. x.com/miles_commodor…

@BarrelHatchet Prayers.

Hey guys. My nephew was born 3 days ago. He is in intensive care right now and struggling to breathe. He is on oxygen, my sister in law is being sent home without him, which is also extremely hard for them. Please pray for my nephew and in laws. That he will be healed and they can go home together. His name is Nic.

@Matt_Pinner Honeymoon in Vegas

Can you name a Nicolas Cage movie you like that is not The Rock, Con Air or Face Off 🤔

@RealEmirHan Only reason I caught that is MIL is German and I always thought it was unusual when she would put up those three fingers when signing 3

In Inglourious Basterds, the “three fingers” moment wasn’t just scripted tension. Fassbender and Tarantino researched authentic WWII hand gestures. Fluent in German with a military family background, Fassbender played it naturally, making it intense
