Hollywood has always like these sorts. How's Roman doing these days?

Good time to remind everyone that real problem is that rich Americans liked to get stoned. On drugs. Cheap ones.

You thought this was America, etc

Ladies and gentlemen, your newly-manufactured Hollywood Star has arrived.

She's aware of all the important talking points: Whitewashing! Feminism! Wokeness!

Amazingly, she's young, pretty, white, and blonde.

Again.

More Epstein enablers.

Some of these failures we know about. Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter axed credible accusations regarding Epstein's relationship with underage girls from a 2002 profile piece after Epstein objected. Journalist Michael Wolff tried to write a puff piece designed to "rehabilitate" Epstein's image (bad journalism) that was ultimately scrapped due to "fact-checking" issues (better journalism). Other examples may eventually come to light.

Who? is she the new Terminatrix? I'll probably pass until it comes out on Amazon Prime. I live in a college town, and now that the students are mostly gone, you can swing a dead cat and not hit someone who fits that description.

"Who? is she the new Terminatrix?"

Yes.

I didn't even realize how much we need another Brie Larson!

I'm so excited.

Life, it seems, under ANC rule.

Celebrate perversity?

In other news, the inventiveness of the Japanese never ceased to amaze. They've now invented a robot backpack that feeds a runner tomatoes as he runs.

San Francisco discovers there is some value in enforcing the law.

"The data also put to rest two common arguments against fighting fare evasion.... Advocates claim that enforcing laws against fare evasion criminalizes the poor. People don’t evade fares out of malice, the argument goes, but because they’re struggling and can’t spare the cash. But the more than 600 additional fares bought during a recent month show that fare-jumpers can pay—they just chose not to do so, knowing that they faced no consequence. Furthermore, the large increase in add-value transactions demonstrates that it’s not only poor people who jump the turnstile. People who already have a ticket or transit card are more likely to be regular riders, perhaps commuters, who figured that they may as well skip paying the fare since no one was watching. Jumping the gates instead of buying a valid fare remains a choice, not an involuntary circumstance."

Maybe ask permission to take pictures first?

Well, RSA wasn't on my short list of touristy places to visit. It wasn't top of my list of places to avoid, but definitely on that list.

Who? is she the new Terminatrix?

She's exactly pretty pretty. She's more like the type Tilda Swinton androgynous type, and Davies really pulled it off on this movie.

I was really looking forward to see the only the movie theatre buuuuuuuut..

When the movie press and the films' director/lead roles start insulting the fans, you bet that's going to be one scalding-hot garbage.

This is in such poor taste that I nearly wept.

Backstory!  Backstory!

But Oh, how we do! We need another one!

(Hooz Brie Larson?)

Prefab political uniformity & identity sublimation has got to fail as a career strategy for these people at some point. You'd think a celebrity would seek to demonstrate some sort of compelling individual liberation— And then, one man changes everything. I mean, that's why Americans are better than other people, and why our entertainment is better than other nations' entertainment. (Amy will send you $5000 if, without research, you can even name a single Taiwanese film.) Revelatory personalities were what showbiz was like when I was a kid, people showing that there were other ways to live. There were options to Sinatra.

The Beatles were an exception, and teem-drunk on American culture. Other nations can't do our heroic narratives because they don't encourage individuality, with emotional imaginations constrained in monarchical or authoritarian social templates.

We often complain here that rather than the United States consciously projecting its strength and courage into the rest of the world, idiot voters and limp spirits are summoning the servility and small-mindedness of the rest of the planet into our folkways... Ethnic divides, disregard for free speech, adoration of punishing government, all of it.

But it's a surprise that no Elvis/Madonna figure from Hollywood (etc.) has arisen to expose these trends in bold relief, to demonstrate that all these huddled masses are yearning to be here FOR A REASON.



We were not wrong, over our lives, about the stunning excellence of our culture.

I'm still pissed at Jewish Cat for his delusional comment the other day, a transparent confession of his personal ineptitude:

> Also the world is uglier
> than it has ever been.

Nope… Not at all.

That was supposed to be TEEN drunk, but whatever.

Oh, how they teemed.
