Shazam! Fury of the Gods trailer just dropped. Looks like the always-great Helen Mirren is playing the main antagonist this time around.

For Bannon’s sentencing hearing, the prosecutor needs to show the judge clips of all the times Bannon shoots off his mouth in front of a microphone between now and then to demonstrate his complete lack of remorse.

Helen Mirren aside, the first Shazam movie was so bad not sure I am willing to give this one a chance. Will probably just wait until it airs on hbo max.

Hard disagree here. I thought the movie was a lot of fun, particularly when compared to the Zack Snyder takes on Superman.

As I keep saying, if want to watch a Superman movie made by a director who doesn’t hate Superman in particular, or superheroes in general, watch Shazam.

re: #3 Charles Johnson

Alex Jones explains to Steve Bannon today that there is a globalist cabal trying to control the world that is “like Hitler, Buck Rogers level,” and includes Buttigieg, Granholm, Schwab, Harare, Club of Rome, Bilderberg Group, Bohemian Grove, and Obama’s Science Czar.

This is some next level Monty Python-esque free association here.

There is some really strong Religion of Conservatism in all the denial in that thread.

Monkeypox is not like Covid-19: You won’t be able to hide if you had it. Plus, if you really want to insist on your freedumb, you’ll be scarred for life if you get it. If you’re that dedicated to your religious faith, I’m not going to stand in your way. In fact, I’m going to get far out of your way.

re: #46 Backwoods_Sleuth

Sick — sick — sick. Yes there has been literature in the past with this theme: Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus” for one, the more contemporary “Silence of the Lambs”, and there was the 1989 film “Parents” (watched part of it on TV years ago but couldn’t make it to the end) But it’s sick and the NY Times needs to reconsider what it thinks is an appropriate theme for an article.

Backstage Matt Gaetz sucked up 4 rails of blow, remembered the last 17 year old he fondled, then with all his might drew the vestiges of the last eight ball drip down into his gut. Looked into an imaginary mirror, said to his now third railed remaining brain cells, “DO IT!”, straightened his tie and walked out to the mass of slightly less coherent brain cells and demanded that the Federal Government finance farms to grow native milkweed to stave off the threat of brown people on Monarch butterfly’s.

In (figurative) yachts on fire crypto news, independent journalist Amy Castor and crypto skeptic David Gerard just published a rundown of the latest in the ongoing crypto collapse. The boat on fire at the top of the page is the topping of juicy crypto news found below. (Conflict of interest—I’ve known Gerard since the ’90s when we protested Scientology, so take that into consideration.)

amycastor.com

For those of you into legal filings, the Three Arrows Capital (3AC) liquidation (bankruptcy) filing dropped and it’s over a thousand pages of documentation of what the hell passes for finance in these rarefied realms. And I do mean THE HELL. The first three dozen pages gives a kind of stuffy introduction in lawyer/accountant talk about what may have been going on. The rest of it is documents.

(Link removed but the archive dot org link can be found on Amy Castor’s blog.)

Probably disappointed in what happened to these captains of industry only yesterday (Reuters):

Exclusive: Hyundai subsidiary has used child labor at Alabama factory

LUVERNE, Alabama, July 22 (Reuters) - A subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co has used child labor at a plant that supplies parts for the Korean carmaker’s assembly line in nearby Montgomery, Alabama, according to area police, the family of three underage workers, and eight former and current employees of the factory.

Underage workers, in some cases as young as 12, have recently worked at a metal stamping plant operated by SMART Alabama LLC, these people said. SMART, listed by Hyundai in corporate filings as a majority-owned unit, supplies parts for some of the most popular cars and SUVs built by the automaker in Montgomery, its flagship U.S. assembly plant.

In a statement sent after Reuters first published its findings on Friday, Hyundai (005380.KS) said it “does not tolerate illegal employment practices at any Hyundai entity. We have policies and procedures in place that require compliance with all local, state and federal laws.” It didn’t answer detailed questions from Reuters about the findings.

SMART LLC is not the same company as Smart, USA. The former provides stamped metal and robotic welded parts to Hyundai’s plant in Alabama.

Reuters learned of underage workers at the Hyundai-owned supplier following the brief disappearance in February of a Guatemalan migrant child from her family’s home in Alabama.

The girl, who turns 14 this month, and her two brothers, aged 12 and 15, all worked at the plant earlier this year and weren’t going to school, according to people familiar with their employment. Their father, Pedro Tzi, confirmed these people’s account in an interview with Reuters.
