Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.
fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)
But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.
Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.
I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.
Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!
Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.
If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.
I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.
It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.
If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.
Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.
Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.
She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.
It’s the corruption, stupid.
Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.
Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

How stupid are these people?
Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.
Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.
They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

So sad.

Indeed. So, Tim, have you ever watched “Die Duvve”, a takeoff on the film you reference with your picture?

The Seventh Seal is an awesome film. Bergman was also my first exposure to the Magic Flute. RIP.
The badminton game with death also foreshadowed Bill and Ted.

Sad News. One of my absolutely favorite movies of all time.

You know who would be the absolutely perfect person to do a eulogy for Bergman? Tom Snyder.

For any die-hard Bergman fans out there, his film “Smiles of a Summer Night” was adapted by Stephen Sondheim into a truly wonderful musical called “A Little Night Music.”
Was Max Von Sydow ever that young? RIP Ingmar.

The Seventh Seal was my favorite movie in my History of Motion Pictures class. Great, great movie.

Anyone know how to pronounce “von Sydow”?
On Bergman, I really like “Smiles of a Summer Night”. Reminds me I should look up more of his older work.

Of all films I’ve ever seen, _The Seventh Seal_ is my favorite. It’s so wonderfully claustrophic…

Actually, in Swedish, the Y is equivalent to the German U with an umlaut or the French U in word such as tu. Although the W is pronounced like an English V, in final position, it is closer to an F sound. So an approximate pronunciation would be fon Sudoff.
Michael af W
Actually, as a Swede, I can tell Vadranor that you’re correct, except for the “w”. In this case it is quite close to the English pronunciation of W.
And, of course, the “von” should NEVER be spelt with a capital V, not even in the beginning of a sentence. (Compare with de Gaulle, for instance.)
And, yes, vila i frid Ingmar! Most likely the most prominent Swedish artist all categories for at least the last 50 years.

Not in English, in which aristocratic particles are treated as all others words.

Michelangelo Antonioni died just a few hours after Bergman. It’s like Addams and Jefferson.
