  1. Also for interests sake: BuzzfeedNews - Keeping track of the hoaxes and misleading posts about the riots and police brutality
  2. Foreign Policy - A moment of National Shame and Peril - and Hope Keep in mind who the author of this piece is: John Allen, now retired, was a four-star general in the Marines and the commander of US forces in Afghanistan in the period 2011-2013. This piece comes on top of similar statements by former chairman of the joints chiefs of staff Admiral Mullen and former four-star Marine general Mattis who was also the former Secretary of the Defense.
  3. And for that point of view...
  4. Hm. So what are the various points on ..
  5. Well as they continue to consider how to shift public perception... Gizmodo - Minneapolis cops sued for shooting, beating, and gassing over a dozen journalists
  6. Well there is the potential argument being made that Police being so eager to use Tear Gas on crowds, causing them to tear and sneeze, is an extra underhanded chemical/biological attack because of the Covid-19... But eh, the fun of the conspiracy theories and where the reality does lay... Also, for added fun factor: Washington Post - Trump tried to register to vote in Florida using an out-of-state address... And yes, in the midst of that, I forgot Elerond had already mentioned it...

  8. I actually saw it for the first time the other week. It's not.. bad. But it's not that great either. It's got some nice performances, a few eye-rolling moments. There are moments you can seem either pulled from or "inspired by" X3. But it's also not done like the "normal" X-Men films, there's no group story as such, it's very focused as you might expect on Jean Grey. In some ways it almost mashes together the feel of being a spin-off, a prequel story, and a re-shuffle to set the stage for the next arc of the universe and can't seem to find the tone for which of the three it is.
  9. Hmmm. While apparently in DC.... It could be Attorney General directs Bureau of Prisons to dispatch Prison Riot Teams to DC and Miami
  10. MovieWeb - SpaceX Astronaut suits were designed by the same guy who did Batman and Captain America's costumes for the movies
  11. Not completely accurate in the historical sense, but enough to make a point in general...
  12. Well one of the local priests in that area has already come out with a whole set of "Seeing Trump have protestors tear gassed and pushed out of the way by police so he could have a photo-op holding a bible in front of a church seems a little like blasphemy to me.." Also:
  13. If you think that's a little crazy...
