Trump will REMAIN President, but what he CAN'T do now: 1. *Can't pass any law:* Needs Parliament. With Democrats at 90, all his bills will be blocked. 2. *Can't get money:* Parliament controls the budget. No funding for his MAGA projects, Wall etc. 3. *Faces Impeachment Risk:* Democrats can start investigations and even move impeachment. 4. *Can't appoint Judges/Officials freely:* Senate will block his picks. 5. *Can't do big foreign deals:* Trade deals, war funding needs Parliament nod. In short: He will stay in the White House, sign Executive Orders, but Parliament and Courts can overturn them. He becomes a *Lame Duck President* - President in name, powerless in reality. #USMidterms

Memory cards were actually good. But tech companies destroyed that market and forced us to take cloud storage subscription, giving them access to our personal info

🚨Now that Luigi Mangione plead guilty in his federal case, his defense team has filled a motion to dismiss his state case due to double jeopardy protections. This also means that he could be freed with a presidential pardon.

🚨 Luigi Mangione has a court appearance tomorrow to hear if his New York state judge decided to suppress evidence (e.g. backpack, g-n, notebook, statements made to law enforcement). Public can attend in person. There should be new photos. As always, we'll also post live updates.

When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'

Mark Ruffalo on Gavin Newsom saying he regrets calling Israel an apartheid state: “Know where you stand and stand there. […] I don’t know what billionaire got in your ear but it’s not working for you. This is now how you are going to win. It’s Apartheid and it’s a Genocide.”

In the opening of CONTACT, the camera pulls back from Earth through the solar system while our radio and TV broadcasts play in reverse order, so the farther you get from the planet, the older the snippets of human history you hear. Great storytelling.
