#NowWatching: The Invasion (2007)

Guys, this one is WILD. It's free on YouTube & worth checking out in the sense that it's not a real or finished film. It's p much the worst acting I've ever seen in a major studio film.

A calamitous, disastrously-bad failure so far 😬

Boy, I did not expect to find out Markwayne Mullin was gay today 🤣

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%.

CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I have to say, it was pretty damn nice having a lot less Trump on the tv screen yesterday.

Doordash have always been our enemies.
DoorDash seems to not care that ICE agents are shooting their workers while they on the job.

Community members are the ones who have gotten Wilber medical attention in detention and legal support — without a single shred of help from this multibillion dollar corporation profiting off his labor.

I’m not gonna engage with the “Olde English” thing. That’s bait. What I actually want to talk about is how he’s gonna fit some sort of fucked up creature into R&J.
Robert Eggers is set to direct a new film adaptation of ‘ROMEO AND JULIET’.

The film will feature the actors speaking in Olde English.

The idea of Umbrella Corporation as a metaphorical deadbeat parent is a fascinating comparative given that the life they stopped caring for is causing unspeakable levels of harm.

Definitely an interesting way to humanize institutional malfeasance

Ooh! Next, I'm watching an exciting (to me, anyway) film that I recall seeing on home video about five or six years after its release, which was in 1999.

Keep that hint in mind for my 'can you guess the movie from this freeze frame' game later 🤓

It's free on YouTube, naturally.

Zach Cregger's #ResidentEvil was a 10.0 out of 10.0 for me, so you know what that means...

It goes right into my 10.0 Films Reel on #ReelRank: reelrank.net/l/HxI6Mh 🤩

Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky: I saw documents recently. I was trying to compile a list of just the most heinous emails, just to be able to bring them to government and say, like, “We need to find out who these perpetrators are,” and they’re all redacted.

I wonder how many families are turning off major league sports because the commercials are non-stop recruitment efforts for young gambling addicts.

You know what’s wild, though?

(And this was so true of me in #TX, too)

Since I’ve moved to #WA, I’ve never had to delay anything medical once, not for even 1 second.

I’ve been dumb, and put #healthcare stuff off (d’oh!), but the second I wised up, I knew I could go to the Dr or Urgent Care.

#PNW
A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.

Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Eminently #guillotinable, Russ Vought 🤔
Ultimately, this move will almost certainly be rejected by the courts, as it clearly fits the key standard for illegal administrative actions.
Russel Vought will reportedly be given veto power over all NIH grants
Pending move comes over the objections of the NIH director.

I am grateful to Attorney General Tish James for the protections she secured for workers.

This decision is a shameful monument to corruption and a betrayal that the American people won't soon forget.

This merger strikes a chilling blow against that freedom — and hands even more power to billionaires like David Ellison to decide what Americans see and hear, all while lifting scrutiny off the federal leaders who pushed it through.

🧟 Resident Evil Review

Officially, ReelRank doesn't support piracy. But, @kcookandcatsco.bsky.social couldn't wait and watched a rough bootleg. (Shame!🔔)

I think #ResidentEvil is an 8.0-9.0ish #film, but I had to give it a 10.0/10.0, and @damagedqueen.satan.social knows why 🤓
