  6. Having to #work 8 hours per day (+X hours for #commuting) 5 days per week (if you are lucky) Is one of the main #creativity #killers even if the job is an office job. It means, that in your very little #freetime you have to think to the house, rest, do grocery shopping, prepare food, eat, sleep. I would love if some #left political parties, will talk again about working less hours, like it was in the late 90s, when in some #european countries they tried to push for the 35 hours working week.

    Those fucking so-called “decent” “civilized” #politicians aka #Scum of the Earth are nothing more than a passive-aggressive club of #killers, plain #murderers

    They all should be judged and tortuously sentenced by a modern #Neurenberg #Tribunal

    When is enough enough?

  11. Say What?

    "Of course, we believe that everyone should be very, very careful with nuclear rhetoric."
    Dmitry Peskov

    The Kremlin spokesperson reacted to US President Donald Trump’s announcement that he had ordered two nuclear submarines closer to Russia, a move that followed some controversial comments by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev. Peskov’s comments were the first official lines from Putin’s government following Trump’s proclamation. (Source Crickey Newsletter 05Aug25)

    It never ceases to amaze how these #crackpot #dictators blatently two-sided slop comes out of their mouths and does so from a straight face. There, if anything, is the signs of #madness. #Putin should walk the talk and make my day!

I normally do the Texas chainsaw massacre movies in July when I do my #FamilyBonds marathon but I finally found a copy of the 1st movie last week (& for under $8) so I tossed it into the #Killers lineup. I also found on Tubi Eaten alive 1976 & Don't go in the house 1980 (I remember seeing this 1 at the drive-in) then on Prime I found Dressed to kill 1980 & on Shudder something I hadn't seen before Graduation day 1981 that was just meh! #MyHorrorfest #HorrorMovies #Horror #TCM

  18. October is dedicated to my #Killers marathon cuz ever since I was 15 I've made it a point to watch the movie Halloween on #Halloween. I've been adding other #SlasherFilms & #SerialKillers stuff the last couple of years until it filled the month. I guess the franchise Halloween started me off on the marathoning journey since I used to gather all the horror movies I could find to fill the month of Oct but eventually the #Horror kept growing & now it's my 5 months #MyHorrorfest marathon #Slashers

  20. TRAILER: The Killer's Game
    In the new action-comedy THE KILLER’S GAME, when top hitman Joe Flood (Dave Bautista) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take matters into his own hands – by taking a hit out on himself.

  21. #Opinion: Children Are Children, Whether in #Israel or #Gaza. They Never Deserve to Die

    In the fascist reality now sweeping Israel, even such a statement is considered treasonous and an expression of Israel hatred. How dare you compare?

    A photo by Associated Press’s Ohad #Zwigenberg on the front page of #Haaretz was worth a thousand words. It showed an IDF soldier inside a #child’s room in #Gaza, his foot resting on a bed. The room’s pink walls, intended to create a calm atmosphere, could not conceal the #horror: the room was a mess, torn and tattered, with only a hairless doll strewn on the bed, reminding viewers that this was the room of a child, which will never serve as one again. Its inhabitants fled for their lives or were killed, or both.

    The Gazan room looked exactly like the destroyed children’s rooms I saw in #Kibbutz Be’eri on the morning after the #massacre. One cannot avoid thinking about the fate of their little #inhabitants, both here and there. If the children in Be’eri survived, they can at least hope for a better future. If the children in #Gaza survived, no hope awaits them.

    #Children are children, one must reiterate, and one cannot but be equally horrified by what has happened to them, both here and there. In the #fascist reality now sweeping #Israel, even this statement is considered treasonous, subversive and an expression of Israel hatred. How dare you compare?

    Midday Saturday, #Hamas’ deputy health minister, Yousuf Abu al-Arish, speaking from the Al-Shifa #Hospital in Gaza, announced that 39 premature #babies are facing imminent death from #suffocation, after #generators shut down, cutting off #oxygen flow to their #incubators. Al-Arish cried out: “This is the moment we’ve been warning about.” Outside, there was already a pile of 100 bodies which had not been identified, covered in white shrouds. They could not be brought to #burial, since the hospital was under #siege, surrounded on all sides by #tanks. The #wounded and #sick, as well as the #dead, could no longer be extricated from the inferno.

    Shortly afterward, Prof. Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor who had volunteered at the hospital in all the previous wars but was now stuck in #Cairo, stated that #Israeli #snipers had spread out around the hospital and were shooting at it. One #nurse on the premature baby ward was killed.

    Photos from# lShifa Hospital before it was cut off showed dozens of bleeding wounded people lying on the floor, and a shrieking father rushing towards his dead infant, who was also strewn on the floor. Hell is there. Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a #physician from #DoctorsWithoutBorders, said she had no words left.

    There were 4,506 dead children by Friday night. Forty thousand housing units have been totally destroyed. Half of Gaza lies in rubble. The #Rantisi children’s hospital is under siege, with no one able to enter or leave. The #AlNasr Children’s Hospital also stopped functioning and all the sick and wounded children there were evacuated, to God knows where. The #AlBuraq school was bombed on Friday night, and at least 50 people who had thought they had found refuge there were killed. The #IDF reported that a #Hamas company commander who had prevented Gazans from moving southwards was among the dead. Bingo.

    One cannot maintain equanimity in view of these scenes. Even after the visits to kibbutzim and towns in the south the day after the massacre, even after being exposed to all the horrors that took place there. Even after all the stories of the survivors and the dead, and even after watching the movie put out by the IDF spokesperson. One cannot escape being horrified by what is now happening in Gaza, even in the knowledge of what lies underneath those hospitals.

    No less horrific is the recognition that one must now take sides: You are either shocked by the atrocities committed by Hamas, or by the atrocities committed by the IDF. Decide. Choose sides. Which dead children shock you more? Which bereaved parents trouble you more? Can you not see the difference between Hamas, which came here to massacre, and an army that came to save hostages and wipe out Hamas? I can indeed, but the butchered children, and their no-less butchered #parents, have little interest in the intentions of their #killers.

    On both sides, they didn’t deserve to die. Their #killing is equally shocking, and there is no reason in the world to be #apologetic about taking this stance.

Even after all the stories of the survivors and the dead, and even after watching the movie put out by the IDF spokesperson. One cannot escape being horrified by what is now happening in Gaza, even in the knowledge of what lies underneath those hospitals.

    No less horrific is the recognition that one must now take sides: You are either shocked by the atrocities committed by Hamas, or by the atrocities committed by the IDF. Decide. Choose sides. Which dead children shock you more? Which bereaved parents trouble you more? Can you not see the difference between Hamas, which came here to massacre, and an army that came to save hostages and wipe out Hamas? I can indeed, but the butchered children, and their no-less butchered #parents, have little interest in the intentions of their #killers.

    On both sides, they didn’t deserve to die. Their #killing is equally shocking, and there is no reason in the world to be #apologetic about taking this stance.
