Let’s start of list of great authors/projects that have never had a single movie.

I’ll start. Poul Anderson. He created Dominic Flandry, a smooth, cynical playboy diplomat who, as an Agent of the Terran Empire, fights to keep the decadent Emperor in power for a few more years. Another great character is Nicolas van Rijn. Imagine if Harry Mudd was a little fatter and a whole lot smarter. He’s head of a galactic trading company who outwits various aliens and humans in the name of sweet cash money. Anderson also created dozens of alien races and imagined the worlds they lived on.

I go even simpler.

The New Deal.

Make the GOPs explain why we could pay salaries that let one earner support a family of four in 1940 and can’t do it today.

Reinventing the wheel is a waste of time.

We need a massive voter registration drive. 90 million people didn’t vote in 2014. Even 10% would be a game changer.

Primary every sitting Dem and force them Left. Make every GOP fight for every vote.

Life Pro Tip.

Cook the bacon and let it cool first, before applying.

Of course, you could just talk about “Tax The Rich” or “Bring Back the New Deal” but then how could people know you read Karl Marx?

So, you think the same people who couldn’t get past the DNC in 2016, 2020, and 2024 are suddenly going to be able to create a party in less than 24 months?

I’m not going to hold my breath

Stole it from the TV show Angel. Idiot vampire receptionist Harmony.

A good line is worth stealing.

I read the original novel and mehed out early on. I heard the movie will be streaming soon anyway, so I’ll give it a try.

Thanks I’ll do that.

You’re preaching to the horse’s mouth.

This is a general rant.

Pretty much everything that I used to enjoy now feels like work.

At some point, comic books went from $2.00 to $7.00. I went from having one cheap streaming service to having five expensive ones. $20.00 to see a movie and don’t even talk to me about seeing live music.

I don’t know the story, but if I were a CIA plant I’d do something similar. It’s loud and obnoxious, but it’s just a gesture and it wouldn’t actually hurt my bosses.

I really don’t think they ever were a “Free Speech” party.

McCarthy went after Hollywood movies that didn’t even use the word “Socialist.”

Givng birth control information was “pornography.”

intake is complete!

You realize that could be taken in many different ways.

Actually, so could my comment.

The Black Panthers got a lot of headlines and got wiped out without the Establishment breaking a sweat.

You’re completely dependent on the electrical grid, the internet, the roads, and the rest of the infrastructure that Trump is going to control.

And, as you pointed out, the entire Movement was riddled with spies. Think Blackwater is really going to let you have your little garden?

What’s your plan?

It’s not unusual. William Goldman, author of ‘The Princess Bride’ also wrote the screenplay for ‘Maverick.’ There was a major character, a magician played by Oscar winner Linda Hunt, that got cut out of the movie entirely because the director and editors felt their scenes just didn’t work with the rest of the movie.

I’ve been watching people go on and on about a Socialist revolution since I read about Gene Debs in high school.

I haven’t seen them actually do anything yet.

If you like war stories, give “Night Soldiers” a shot. A young Bulgarian is killed by a fascist mob. His brother is recruited into the KGB and is sent to fight in Spain. Reads like a collaboration between Franz Kafka and Ian Fleming. Alan Furst is the author.
