Also, check out what Philly PD is trying to make us believe from that shooting last night:

It's not enough to tell the truth that "cops got ambushed, didn't hear the shots, and everyone got loving lucky", it's instead time to print unconfirmed police union copaganda that police hats are like bullet dreamcatchers

From the look of that bullet, I bet it wasn't even aimed - I bet this is somebody shooting a gun up in the air instead of fireworks. It happens all the time in St Louis and somebody always ends up getting hit by either the wrong angle or the bullet coming back down.

It's chilling to me to imagine that that could easily be a string of tracers instead of fireworks.
This. To terrorize people like that on a day where there were already six dead and dozens wounded in one mass shooting, it's a shame no one put these fuckers in the ground. Hard to tell until after the attack has stopped whether they're just using the fireworks to distract from gunfire, best to assume the worst. And it's not like fireworks aren't lethal weapons themselves.

Very much so. If you have HBO Max, they actually have a ton, including a lot that Nakano did work on. Also if you don't have HBO Max...I can help out. :)

I was legitimately surprised how many Godzilla movies HBO Max had. Those were a staple of many childhood sleepovers. Those were great to watch and then play with your godzilla toys and Transformers and GI Joes.

You're all putting huge smiles on my face right now. :) 1970s Godzilla is just Godzilla being a bro for humanity and helping out, it's a huge face turn over time. lol

I will always love puppy dog Goji from Megalon. Hell even had the WTC art of Megalon and Godzilla fighting on top for my 6th Birthday. Now I get/got to see my son (and when she was younger) daughter love Godzilla. It rules.

I can actually explain the reason HBO has so many. It's due to some existing distribution deal with Criterion (it's also on there), and Criterion licensed the entire Showa series (1954-1975) and put it out on BR, but they also had TV/Streaming rights.

If you (or anyone else) likes that Godzilla stuff be sure to check out Ultra Q, a monster of the week TV show with a lot of the same special effects guys as the Toho Godzilla stuff. Super charming miniatures and special effects. The blu rays are gorgeous.

Technically yes but the BBC just addressed this:


https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-politics-62048657 posted:

Change the rules: There has been speculation the rules could be changed, so that Conservative MPs can hold another vote in Johnson's leadership sooner.

When asked about it, Sir Graham Brady MP, the chairman the 1922 Committee, said "technically, it's possible".

Cabinet pressure: Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid believe their resignations are necessary to force Johnson to resign.

Parliamentary motion of no confidence: A ballot where all MPs - not just Conservatives - get to vote has been proposed by Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey.

But the government would need to agree to make time in Parliament to hold such a vote and it would need to be brought by Labour.

Gun culture means sponsoring your son for guns three months after he threatens to kill a member / members of your family and gets his knives/sword confiscated:

https://twitter.com/monicaeng/status/1544464578909708289

Edit: And what drives me nuts about Democratic Leadership right now is that they're not driving home what to do to fight back (it's a lot of vote harder). Like "Hey, qualify for as many ballot initiatives as you can with the time allotted, and if not, your next chances are x y z if we've lost your faith."

So Michigan has a bunch of progressive-friendly ballot initiatives that you need to collect 425K signatures to get on the 2022 General ballot for. I signed the batches like ~3 months ago picking up prescriptions and one's to codify Roe in the state constitution. And so, a few weeks after Roe died:

And that's how you loving fight back *and* make sure you're avoiding an on-alert elections commission wary about fraudulent signature sheets. Tell people what to do! They're angry and they'll do it!
