I just hope her low ticket sales means that most of Georgia is tired of her shit.

I can't help but keep recalling that Treblinka was outfitted with signs and other exterior fixtures to resemble a train station so that the folks arriving there would not realize it was their final destination.

Those ICE "warehouses" should make every lawmaker's skin crawl.

Gooood Monday morning.

If you have 4:20 to spare, here's a classic to start your day.

Seems to me the game-plan should be to get a Google Photos account and then ONLY upload photos of offensive tech bros and the politicians who are kissing their asses.

Messier 51 maybe has denizens right now asking why the transmissions they receive via the Superluminal Wave Conduits from around the galaxy report that the beings inhabiting that hot mess of a world named Earth call their neighbourhood "Messier", and where did they find such stockpiles of audacity.

That's very sweet of you, and also kinda scary. I never think of myself first and foremost as a kind person. I WANT to be, but some days it's mighty hard. I guess we're all out here trying to shine our lights while also reminding ourselves not to set the world on fire.

You think that's bad.

I'm over here cheering for Team Embolism

COME ON YOU LITTLE BLOOD CLOTS. DO YOUR THANG!

I might add that's why, while I agree with much that is said on the Meidas Touch network, watching any of their personalities getting-around-to-the-point is agonizing and I feel like I'm being held hostage for the algorithm.

I agree with you about the delivery of news these days. I may sound like a grouchy old fart and so be it, but dammit I miss the days of good strong steady anchor-persons delivering the news without packaging it up in editorials or discussions. To say what-she-said, give it to me straight and hard.

Screencut of the Tubi website. A search for "volcano" reveals a large list of cheesy volcano movie titles such as Nature Unleashed-Volcano, Airplane vs. Volcano, and my fave, Disaster Zone-Volcano in New York.

Tubi just became my new happy place.

Thanks y'all for joining me in my externalization of my internal monologue and also I hope y'all liked the movie.

Yep. We gonna do this again.... 23 August 2026...be here or....bewere?

"Away from the things of man"

HELLYEAH MY BROTHER!

_THE END_

(a bit of an Empedocles moment there. IYKYK)

Hanks is old enough now to star in a proper cinematic telling of Samosata Lucien's Moon story. We should start a GoFundMe.

Also for those of you new to my corner of the intertubes, this volcano is pretty volcanologically illogical, but NOT THE WORST movie volcano you'll see around here.

Also who here also remembers a time when you could march about with tiki torches and NOT be mistook for fascist assholes?

TAKE MEEEE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE VOLCANO!

Orange soda!

That role might've been fun to give to Kel Mitchell....except JvtV came before Keenan and Kel.

Dangit if I'm gonna make watch-parties a regular-thang here, I guess I best get the Runpee app.

"I'm calling you Felix because I do what I want."

There's something about this movie that puts me in mind of L.A. Story, a Steve Martin film. Both somehow have found the magic blend between absurd plot and dry-af comedy that lands just perfectly. Both movies have excellent soundtracks too.

The JvtV Wikipedia article actually says that John Patrick Stanley intended to model Banks' work environment after a real place he worked that made medical equipment including "artificial testicles".

Also might I add that Spielberg is a real genius with camera and lighting direction?

I've been too chickenshit to live my life so I sold it to you for *checks most recent paystub*...... wow :(

Now I know what I mean to say on my Last Day Of Work.

I forgot how ASMR it is hearing Robert Stack speak.

Also when the doc recommends you take a holiday but you spent all your money on the doctor is the most 2026 thing ever.

What's with the shoe?

Losing my sole.

*nodnod* This line ALSO really hits after my day at work.

Funny how this movie makes white-collar look so blue-collar.

Also after spending 7 hours in a kitchen with flickering fluorescent lamps, this reeeeeeeally hits.

Welp...it's movie-time. Do we comment here or are we doing a hashtag? Sorry I'm a watch-party noob.

Joe Versus the Volcano (1990) Life begins with a journey around the world for a squashed bug of a guy under the heel of a hideous corporation just as he’s told he’s about to die.

It's movie-time!

One day SOON, he will be off our planet.

We've got work to do, but we can fix this.
