I had almost forgotten about that. The irony is that in trying to capture a metaphor, they've become a metaphor for the his exact situation lol.

There were a couple interesting comic book movies with distinctive styles, like Sin City or 300 (ya I know it's racist but it at least has a distinctive style)... And... Hm... Actually, those are the only two I can think of at the moment. And I didn't even see Sim City. Ya, most comic book movies before then sucked. I did like the first two X-men movies though and the Spiderman movies had their charm. But most comic book movies before then were either bad, generic, or both.

They've seemed pretty lib of late, but then they did that hack and restored some of my faith. They must've been cooking that for awhile now.

Kinda based of PSL lol. Hope they can use this as a recruiting opportunity.

How did they find the location of these raids? Did they literally just use a police scanner? I'm wondering how difficult it would be for someone to take over.

Why was the DSA removed from it?

I've been wondering that myself lol. So random. I heard it's because they share data with cops, but I don't know how many people on the ground actually know that.

I have a feeling it's just an easy way to get a burning car in the road to cause disruptions, because you can easily call them over.

Wtf? Doesn't he need to do the Insurrection Act to do that?

When did that term start becoming so en vogue? Feels very recent to me. I love it, too lol.

Ben Cohen was one of seven people who were arrested at the hearing held by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, the spokesperson said.

...

Moments later, Cohen rose to his feet and accused Congress of playing a role in the deaths of children in Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war.

Nice. Someone get Ben to join PSL.

Looking for a way to get into Lynch's work. I know, a little late, but I feel like I'm missing out on something with all the condolences going out today. I've heard good things about Twin Peaks? Does it still hold up?

What about his movies? I've heard great things about Mulholland Drive, although I was very confused when I got halfway through.

Are there other works that are better to start with or just that people generally recommend as being good?

I know it's a little late this holiday season to ask this question but as a lover of the holidays, I'm curious what others think. I usually watch the schmaltsy, cutesie ones I watched as a kid, like The Muppet Christmas Carol or Mickey's Christmas Carol.

But it means I haven't watched the other dramatic (or possibly horror, considering the ghostly subject matter) retellings of the story as much.

Which adaptations of A Christmas Carol is your favorite?

What's some books with an interesting vision of the future? I don't just mean more advanced technology, I mean the way it's organized.

I find often people can't envision past the society we have now. There's that quote, "It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism", and it seems more and more true, but sci-fi authors seem best equipped to actually imagine beyond that.

I've heard some sci-fi authors mentioned in this category before, like Heinlen, Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.

I haven't read any of them lol. Would have no idea where to start within them that fits this category, or what other choices there are that people would suggest.
