  • If he does drop out of the debate again, I bet they could get him to recommit by going all Biff Tannen on his ass:

    “What’s the matter McTrump? Chicken?”

    He’ll bristle, and say he’s no chicken and agree to debate Kamala.

    In all seriousness, I was surprised agreed to debate her at all, given that he has nothing to gain. Best cash scenario, he tries the same approach he used with Biden, turning his mouth into a fire hose of lies, and Biden couldn’t keep up. With Kamala, she’d just laugh at his lies, and actually refute him with facts, he’d look just awful in comparison.

    At this point I doubt he’ll actually show up to the debate.




  • I love horror so much! I’ll try to list some that may not be as popular as some others:

    The Thing (1980’s version) This is my favorite horror movie, it’s a great mix of situation, tension, paranoia, and great practical special effects

    The Autopsy of Jane Doe Very well done, interesting premise, and it’s a wild ride

    Evil Dead Rise While I’m a huge fan of Evil Dead 1, and 2, plus Army of Darkness, the 2013 Evil Dead reboot missed the main point and feel of the originals. So while the reboot would have been fine as it’s own movie, as an Evil Dead movie it failed for me. Evil Dead Rise however 100% captures the feel and magic of the originals, and it is god damn brutal.

    Overlord The movie, set in World War 2 had a trailer that looked pretty cheesy, like an over the top action movie set in WW2 with zombies. It was NOT that movie, it’s wonderfully done setting wise, costumes, acting, and it’s intense and visceral. I love this movie.

    I may come back and edit my post to have some more suggestions.


  • When a moral panic happens, a lot of things get blown out of proportion. A good example was the panic relating to D&D and satanism. There was a huge panic sometime in the 50s or 60s about the police dealing with young thugs with concealed switch blades, which could be hidden, and then deployed one handed so fast a cop couldn’t draw his weapon fast enough. So this panic got a lot of laws drawn up to ban any switch blade.

    Since then, the there are knives that skirt the law by not having a spring which force the blade open, instead a tension bar. There are still types are illegal to carry if a Cop would find out you have it, like “Out the front” switch knives.

    The stupid part is, there are plenty of “one hand deployable” knives on the market that are 100% legal. But the laws never get revisited. In my state it’s illegal to have a out the front switch blade, yet a bunch of high end OTF knives are for sale at a sporting store. They just post a sign that says “Know your local laws”, which some how makes it okay to sell.

    If anyone has more to add, or corrects, let me know.


  • I think you’re right. Much of the text has that “word adjacent” you see a lot in AI images. Also, the picture appears to be very 80s in style, but that taco bell logo wasn’t used in the 80s. I’m pretty sure the logo and Honda were edited in.
