Not a slam dunk, but I can confirm that the street markings look American, the license plates appear to me to conform to American sizing and placement, and there is an American flag (amongst a few others) hanging from a pole. Gonna say it’s most likely somewhere in the States.

Sorry for your loss. That sucks.

I need someone who understands law better than myself to clarify here – not only did the prosecutor call a witness not on the list, but that witness was the spouse of the defendant?? I realize this is Alabama, and I may be a caveman lawyer (#notalawyer #notyourlawyer), but isn’t this wildly inadmissable? If this story is true, shouldn’t Cracker Jack lose their legal degree accreditation, because that seems to be where these participants got theirs? Or do l need to return to my cave?

Since you brought up chess, I’ve always found chess boxing as an interesting concept.

Episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where she’s in and out of a coma between the normal world and the world with vampires.

If this is what I think it is, that episode still makes me think about the nature of reality whenever I think about it, which is a lot more often than it should for a show that old.

I have a twist for you – how do you know that time isn’t running backwards?

Wait, weren’t we talking about spoons?

The last live theater I saw was Peter Pan Goes Wrong. Amazingly good. That Cornley theater knows how to put on a great show.

Learning this pleases me. Thank you. The idea that the victims’ families, at least, have not lost those lessons gives me some satisfaction that humanity hasn’t gone full on stupid.

I loved the idea of a place to keep the memories of the horror of the Holocaust alive so it wouldn’t happen again. And then it happened again, quite publicly, and directly perpetrated by people who were the descendants of those victims and keepers of those memories. I still love the mission, but I fear that at least for now, it is a failure.

Edit: see the response to my post for an insightful comment

I’m too lazy to make the meme, myself, so imagine an image of Zack Morris looking confused, and the text, “I thought it came from boxing?”

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

I expected the rickroll, what threw me was the “gonna”

John Oliver threatened something like that once (but for politicians). Not sure what happened after that, though I have occasionally wondered.

Sneakers message still resonates strongly today

Better Off Dead outside the band of most 80s teenager comedy movies

Paycheck I thought it was a fun sci-fi that most people missed

The Great Escape not underrated back in the day, but not very well known now

Semi cool. Doesn’t look like China will be getting involved. Russia is over extended and won’t be stepping in even if they wanted to. Trump will keep blowing up little girls until his ego is satisfied or he’s extracted enough favors owed or the yes men surrounding him can divert his attention to something else. After that, whatever is left behind will be led by either resentful family members or opportunists, whose actions will probably regularly give war mongers in the States enough press to sell more “police actions” to their populace for many years.

That’s my 2 cents.

About the same as a banana

Abomination!

All these sudden reasons for them to close it that don’t involve the embarrassment of “nobody wants to buy tickets that support fascists taking over.”
