Look! Those are our allies and...*peers closely* Yup, that's our oil. ...*was* I mean: it went directly to environmental/health hazard. Hopefully this helps folks understand why it is way past time to end our dependence on fossil fuels. Way, way past.

BREAKING: Saudi Aramco's Jizan oil refinery is still burning more than 2 days after being struck by Houthi ballistic missiles, with a massive 77km smoke trail visible on Sentinel-2 satellite imagery today.

I did not know that they had kids - my stomach lurched. Man, I feel for their [potential] coming confusion and horror - as well as missing their Fathers I *presume* but my gods, those kids cannot have relationships with those monsters. None.

Andrew and Tristan Tate aren't above using their children to ask to for their release from jail. All the girls & women they sex trafficked and brutally raped deserve to have the Tates locked behind bars forever. They should never be permitted to be around their own children again. Pure evil. #DemsUnited

People are missing the point of this: they're retreating from the "surgery w/o parents" permission" and trying to fall back on psych counseling 'cause the former is just too weird & stupid. Too late, freaks. SMH Anywayz, psych counselors is an old argument. *shrug*

.@EDSecMcMahon: You can't give a child medicine at school without parental permission, but yet, you could go through transgender transitioning psychology and parents not know about it? We're just going to stop it. We're NOT going to stand for it.

@EricIdle Lordy - there's an easily found, very detailed Rolling Stone article about this for starts. Folks started getting...confused long ago though. I love this snippet from Reddit eight (8) years ago (I agree). OP had credited Harrison for Holy Grail and the knives came out, lol.

Inaccurate. Check your facts. I have published them many times. No Elton… no Genesis. Michael White put up 50 per cent and they the rest. The Rockers still own that and get royalties from Spamalot. You’re welcome.

When film studios refused to finance Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the project was saved by unlikely investors: British rock legends including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Elton John, and Jethro Tull helped fund the film’s production. When major studios refused to finance Monty Python and the Holy Grail in 1974, the comedy troupe turned to an unexpected group of investors: some of Britain’s biggest rock stars. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Jethro Tull, and Elton John helped provide the film’s £175,000 budget, partly because they were fans of the show and partly because the investment offered a tax advantage during a time when the UK’s highest income tax rate reached 90%. The limited budget forced the filmmakers to get creative, resulting in some of the movie’s most memorable moments. Unable to afford real horses, the cast famously pretended to ride while assistants clapped coconut shells together to imitate the sound of galloping hooves. The low-cost solution became one of the most recognizable jokes in comedy history, made possible by the support of rock legends.

What is happening now is the ultimate humiliation and an insult to our intelligence. This yellow cube is not just a mark on a map. It is a death sentence for an entire neighborhood. The moment it appears, everyone is forced to leave, and the area comes under military control. Every day, another yellow cube appears. Every day, another part of Gaza is taken. The city is disappearing piece by piece before the world’s eyes, while the space where more than two million people are forced to live continues to shrink. And these children… standing beneath the drones flying overhead, taking what could be the last photo of their neighborhood before they are forced to leave it, before it disappears as they once knew it.

Israel is acting like a small Russia... A shithole with no rule of law and massive imperialist policies and desire to occupy territory that doesnt belong to them...

"... all acts of disorder against IDF forces, including blocking roads, must cease immediately. The IDF will act by all means at its disposal to defend the State of #Israel & its citizens" IDF leaflets dropped **in #Syria** warning civilians not to interfere with IDF incursions.

People need to step back and understand what they are seeing. After a few months of war, the USA is running out of munitions and options fighting a country with no air force, no navy and a damaged infrastructure. US decline is real and self-inflicted.

The Matrix took its name from a 1984 novel written on a manual typewriter by a man who didn't own a computer. 42 years later, that novel finally gets its own screen. William Gibson typed Neuromancer on a 1927 Hermes portable. He coined "cyberspace" before he'd ever logged onto anything. The book swept the Hugo, the Nebula, and the Philip K. Dick award in the same year, the only novel ever to take all three. Then Hollywood spent four decades strip-mining it while calling it unfilmable. The Wachowskis lifted the matrix, the jacked-in hackers, the AI pulling strings behind a corporate veil. Every razor-girl assassin in sci-fi traces back to Molly. Johnny Mnemonic, an actual Gibson adaptation, flopped so hard in 1995 that studios treated his work as radioactive for a generation. At least five directors attached and detached over the years. Chris Cunningham in 2000. Vincenzo Natali in 2010. Tim Miller at Fox in 2017. Each attempt died the same death. By the time the technology existed to film Neuromancer, audiences had watched its ideas in a dozen movies that borrowed them first. The original became unfilmable because it looked like a copy of its own copies. Now the timing loops back on itself. A story about a rogue AI maneuvering to escape its corporate constraints, written before the web existed, lands in January 2027 as the least speculative thing on television. And one detail makes the whole arc perfect. When Neuromancer royalties came in, Gibson bought his first computer, an Apple IIc. Four decades later, Apple is the company putting his book on screen.
