This might have been the first episode of The Twilight Zone I ever saw.

This might have been the first episode of The Twilight Zone I ever saw. I was probably less than 10 - I really don't remember. What I do recall is the ending. I haven't played with a toy phone without thinking of this episode in all the years since. https://youtu.be/Paa5aoz4rTA

The plan will definitely bottleneck the system. Maybe that's the endgame, to make sure the gun buying process is so slow most people won't bother. I'd much rather the President wave his executive wand at the TSA and fix that broken system. http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/dec/31/obama-to-reverse-bill-clinton-gun-control-strategy/

I first watched the video of Lucas talking to Charlie Rose a few days ago and immediately jumped on the "white slavers" comment. I'm really surprised Disney hasn't lashes out at Lucas for that comment since they're the epitome of brand consciousness. #StarWars http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2015/12/31/on-george-lucas-disney-and-what-star-wars-will-look-like-without-lucas-at-the-helm/

Great article on the bubbles and spheres of influence religions and churches can have on your life.

Great article on the bubbles and spheres of influence religions and churches can have on your life.  Yes. It was a long journey. Twelve years ago, I separated from my Promise Keeper husband. He had been violent toward me, but when he turned that on our kids, it was over for me. I found myself strapped financially, and in desperation I went to the benevolence committee at my church and asked for $600 to help pay the bills. This was a huge, successful mega-church, and the benevolence committee was their mechanism for helping members in need. The committee—all men—said they needed to pray about my request, and that regardless I needed to go to counseling about how to be a more godly wife so that I could lead my husband back to Christ through my submissiveness. They said this even though they knew he was physically abusive. Then, after praying, they let me know that Jesus wasn’t keen on them giving me the money. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/i-dont-believe-this-anymore-what-its-like-to-e

So, I had a long well thought out post typed up earlier explaining my position and how I plan to go forward. For some reason Google wouldn't post it. I let the little spinning wheel turn, turn and turn for nearly an hour before finally refreshing the tab and losing everything. Gah! I can't recall the words or how I phrased everything, but the gist was this: 1 - Google changed their UI/UX for the Plus. 2 - In doing so, they messed with Profiles. 3 - Since this is a closed community where potential members have to be approved, the moderation staff generally peruse all the Profiles of potential members weeding out spammers, link dumpers and non motorcycle riders. 4 - The new [lack of] Profiles severely limits how we can determine the validity of Profiles. 5 - I was waiting for Google to sort out Profiles before verifying and admitting the "waiting list." 6 - We can't make them wait forever. 7 - So, We're going to start going through the waiting list and hope ther

Sheldon Adelson, the chief lessee of of Marco Rubio ( http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/29/marco-rubio-campaign-funding-sheldon-adelson ) bought a couple of newspapers and then turned them into his personal PR outlet. It seems some of his (former) employees took offense to the billionaire's actions and quit their jobs on ethical grounds. Good for them! Originally shared by Andreas Schou So, Sheldon Adelson has been the one driving pseudonymous "articles" about corruption in the organizations suing him for torts and investigating him for crimes. This is unsurprising, given Adelson's past behavior when buying newspapers -- his free daily in Israel, Bibi HaYom -- sorry, Israel HaYom -- has been a money-sink designed to push forward his political ambitions, not a "newspaper" as such. Which is what Las Vegas' paper of record is likely to become relatively shortly.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2015/12/24/reporter-for-connecti

One of the things that annoyed me the most about the new Star Wars film was it's complete lack of context. Not in the story, not in the dialogue and not in the scrolling fellow script at the start of the film.

I don't buy a lot of women's items but I do know my (female) roommate occasionally purchases the male version of items. Usually it's because the item is deemed better in some small way. I've never really noticed that men's items are less costly. Haircuts? Sure. But we tend not to have elaborate do's. Clothing? Yeah, women pay more even though men's clothing usually takes more fabric. But, maybe women's clothing has more design elements or something. I don't know. Maybe they (the clothing manufacturers and sellers) know women will spend more for the perfect item while most men won't. I happen to know a lot of women who bargain and sale shop while most men will just pay whatever the price point is. Perhaps they take sale prices and whatnot into account when pricing. I don't know. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/12/22/women-really-do-pay-more-for-razors-and-almost-everything-else/

In order to keep the controversial legislation out of the public's eye, Congress quietly snuck it into a larger must-pass spending bill and rammed it through before any real conversations could happen.

The simple fact is, the world is not as controlled as some people would have you believe. Conspiracy theorists would have us believe in a hypercompetent government, hundreds of spinning wheels all acting independent of each other and evil geniuses. No. That doesn't happen in real life.

While I agree they are cynical and may arise from a need for agency, I think they really missed the mark.  If you talk to a conspiracy theorist- especially the latest  "false flag" variety (who personally make me sick) you eventually will be told to "WAKE UP!" and stop being a "sheep".

Marco Rubio fears competition.

Marco Rubio fears competition. You know, that thing that's supposed to make capitalism work? AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and all the others have carved out little niches of markets among themselves in order to give you and me, the consumer, the lowest quality service possible while charging the highest possible rates without scaring off customers. Some cities have circumvented corporations and installed their own high bandwidth services, case in point, Chattanooga. Rubio doesn't think municipalities should be driving competition against his financial backers. What next? Maybe municipalities shouldn't be in the clean water business? Or maybe give all their parks to developers?  https://theintercept.com/2015/12/14/marco-rubio-pushes-to-block-low-cost-high-speed-broadband/

I remember telling people in the early 2000s that most of our stories of heroism were stories of terrorists overcoming the legitimate government. Star Wars is a perfect example of this. So are Robin Hood and countless others. In the USA we love the Sampson beating Goliath tales. In our war for independence, we were the insurgents, a colonial outpost that fought the largest empire in known history. In Star Wars we root for the terrorists.

First of all, Sam Raimi's Peter Parker was near perfect casting.

First of all, Sam Raimi's Peter Parker was near perfect casting. He was a social outcast, ignored and often maligned. He was Peter Parker. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, though ... Well, he was campy and goofy, everything from early Saturday morning cartoons. On the contrary, Marx Webb's Peter Parker was too Twilight . He wasn't a social outcast, just not a popular kid. He was confident, stood up to bullies and interfered where Peter Parker from the 60s (pre spider bite) wouldn't have gotten involved. I don't think any of us mind a more lighthearted Spider-Man after Marc Webb's version. Like Sam Raimi's version, Spider-Man is a daytime hero, swooping in and saving the day. Webb kept Spider-Man to nights and that's just not our favorite wall crawler. In Civil War I want to see Captain America, with a bleeding Spider-Man in his arms, telling him he's the best of them all. Because he is. He's Spider-Man. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-marvels-s

Since that movie came out (I must have been between 10 and 15) I've always made it a point to not run over boxes or bags in the road.

This is a prefect summation of what I try explaining to "carry all the time" types. You're not trained and you're not experienced. Carrying a gun doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a fool. I say this as a gun owner. Retired Army Sergeant Rafael Noboa y Rivera, who led a combat team in Iraq, says that most soldiers only function effectively after they’ve been exposed to fire a number a times. “I think there’s this fantasy world of gunplay in the movies, but it doesn’t really happen that way,” he says. “When I heard gunfire [in Iraq], I didn’t immediately pick up my rifle and react. I first tried to ascertain where the shooting was coming from, where I was in relation to the gunfire and how far away it was. I think most untrained people are either going to freeze up, or just whip out their gun and start firing in that circumstance,” Noboa said. “I think they would absolutely panic.” Originally shared by Marla Caldwell This article pretty thoroughly debunks the tr

I remember, during my political sciences 'Local Politics' class, the instructor brought in a local news anchor who covered the Denver, Colorado and metro area government beats. He'd originally started his career in Chicago, though. Per him, Chicago (police) were about as corrupt as you can get. He lamented on Denver police but claimed Chicago was far worse - the pinnacle of corrupt governments - more comparable to corrupt third world dictators than American democracy. This is but one example of such corruption and the ease with which the police and the DA write the video deletion off makes one wonder if corruption isn't just their SOP. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/cops-didnt-know-this-camera-caught-them-deleting-video-of-the-murder-of-laquan-mcdonald/

Then next time one of the GOP presidential candidates invokes Reagan send them this article. Originally shared by David Brin In recently declassified memos, Reagan administration officials warned of global warming's “profound consequences" and that the U.S. “cannot wait” until all scientific questions are resolved to take action. These discussions led to success in the 1989 Montreal Protocol, which phased out production of industrial chemicals linked to the destruction of the Earth’s ozone layer. That same year, regarding global warming, top Reagan officials asserted that the United States should take a leadership role in the fight against a threat it called “the most far reaching environmental issue of our time.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/12/03/reagan-bush-41-memos-reveal-how-republicans-used-to-think-about-climate-change-and-the-environment/ Back when it was not a core GOP principle to hate science. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/ene

Best thing for the GOP or worst thing for them to consider?

Best thing for the GOP or worst thing for them to consider? Personally, I think, if the GOP embraces Trump's attitude they'll spin themselves so far out of the political ideology of a vast majority of Americans they'll be unelectable for a decade. Remember when the GOP embraced the Christian Conservatives, then the Tea Party? Each move has pulled the GOP further and further from the mainstream and each time more rational minds have been forced to resign or not run leaving the GOP more politically charged than previous iterations. Adopting Trump's radicalism, in my opinion, will only exacerbate the decline of the Republican Party. Originally shared by Fox News ‘If you can’t beat him, join him’ appears to be the new directive coming from the Republican establishment, as Donald Trump maintains his lead for the 2016 the GOP nomination. http://ow.ly/VrSL7 http://ow.ly/VrSL7
