Rebuilding my playlist of #Western movies/series for simpler formatting. The list is over 170 items long. I'll post here as I watch each of them. The intent is to watch them as they are chronologically set.

@mojave3updates This week

show me your letterboxd top 4 and i’ll give you a movie rec 🗣️🗣️

Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers? Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.

This is exactly what "trust the science" looks like. Scientists updated the worst-case scenario because real-world emissions are tracking below RCP8.5's 2010-era assumptions of runaway coal expansion, primarily because wind and solar got cheap and climate policy started bending the curve. The new CMIP7 HIGH scenario published in Geoscientific Model Development still projects roughly 3°C of warming by 2100, twice the Paris target and a temperature Earth has not seen in roughly 3 million years. The position being celebrated here amounts to: the climate policies worked well enough to retire the worst-case scenario, therefore we should kill the climate policies. That is hearing the smoke alarm shut off and concluding the fire department was a hoax.

So I’ve lived in Hillsboro, Oregon for 10 years. Drove around today and tonight and shot this myself. This is what the “Data Center Plains” looks like.👇 My town sits at the end of 6 transpacific sea cables connecting the US to Asia. That’s why 30+ data centers landed here. They’re everywhere. Spread across the entire north and west end of the city. Road after road. Building after building. Miles of it. And they keep building. Pushing further west every year into farmland that’s been here for generations. Buying up land, Giving mass amounts of money to home owners to move, Tearing down homes. Tearing down historic sites. $7.2 billion in exempted property taxes. Some of these finished buildings are literally sitting completely dark… PGE told them no power for 3-5 years. They still built them anyway. A power plant is now going up right next to the data centers because they maxed the local grid. There are families still living next to construction zones. Old farmhouses directly across the street from data center walls. Nobody asked the people who already lived here. These are the families who refused to leave, so they said we are just gonna put them up next to your houses anyway. A pioneer homestead from 1865, 190 years of continuous farming is about to be gone, NTT Global Data Centers got that land tax-free until 2051. Signed in a single day at City Hall. Intel, the employer that actually brought thousands of real jobs here is laying off locals at the same time. This sound runs 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. My electricity bill went from $80 to $150. Water rates are set to increase 105% over 5 years, critics say to fund data center infrastructure, not residents. Data centers aren’t a joke. Just wanted to share my first hand experience with them. #datacenters

After an obscure defense vendor won a $12 million no-bid contract w/ ICE, I noticed something odd on its website: The firm was using a (still watermarked!) stock photo for the chief of its “development team.” Things only got more bizarre from there…

@WrongReel @colebrax That Seven Samurai poster is phenomenal!

I had no idea how lucky I was at the time, but this was my first encounter with the great Tony Stella when he came on the podcast to celebrate some of his favorite movie posters: wrongreel.com/podcast/wr236-…

This might be the most incredible chart out there The stuff of revolutions

Bobby Cox sent Leo Mazzone to the mound so he could tell Greg Maddux to walk Luis Gonzalez. Maddux refused to do it, and told Leo give him two pitches and he'll make Luis pop up to 3rd base. As Leo returned to the dugout, Bobby was fuming. Two pitches later, a pop up to Chipper Jones at 3rd base. RIP Bobby Cox

@JoeCapriglione @ChesterM222 My first favourite Canuck

@ChesterM222 Paul Reinhart only played two years but did get 114 points over those two seasons. He was fun to watch 🤷‍♂️

Alex Edler is still the greatest Canucks defenseman of all time for me

@Caol_MacCormaic How does the Beguiled fit in? Winning hearts and minds?

movies that aren't about vietnam but are 100% about vietnam

@mikemoviez I thought that Ed Harris' Appaloosa was under rated. Shenandoah with James Stewart. The Hellbenders with Joseph Cotton. Lone Wolf McQuade with Chuck Norris was a sort of modern western in the 80s and lots of fun.

I'd like to get a list of good westerns going, but not the typical ones. The John Ford and Sergio Leone stuff, Magnificent Seven, True Grit, High Noon, The Wild Bunch etc. I'm looking for good westerns that aren't mentioned as often or have slipped under the radar 🤠

@xyzunleashed @princessrica84 He announced us before realizing he read it wrong. So close to Gilbert Perrault.

@cardboardwolf @princessrica84 didn't we actually win that? it was just clarence campbell couldn't fucking read or something

56 seasons. Not 1 first overall pick.

The #Canucks drop to 3rd overall, as the Maple Leafs (#1) and the San Jose Sharks (#2) win the two draws at the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery. It is the 7th time in Vancouver's franchise history that the club has moved down at the NHL draft lottery. The club has never moved up.

Diabolical

@katiebakes Bettman: “Katie, please open twitter. You can now type the tweet. Wait the full 15 seconds. And now, hit reply with your fingers.” Riveting.

this NHL Draft Lotto format is truly sick and twisted and I'm unfortunately into it

@FlamesEnjoyer13 @princessrica84 I mean, that’s remarkably bad in its own right

@princessrica84 Yeah but 2,3,3. Flames have yet to pick in the top 3. Sam Bennett is our highest draft pick. Flames have it worse.

@austxsun @DCUelective02 @wwarrior_1 They are literally the same interviews where he's talking about the creative differences that they were working through. Be an adult.

@DCUelective02 @wwarrior_1 He WAS completely scared of being exiled by Disney, just like they did with Luke. Watch his eyes in both statements saying he was wrong... he squints & looks down, a clear sign he was lying, of unease having to even say that drivel out loud.

i am tapping the sign furiously

@wwarrior_1 Quit cutting out the rest of the interview you fucking clowns.
