I’ll go a step further and say I believe this is the culture the cops cultivated and Her thought she could ingratiate herself to them with this behavior. But believing the force would ever be your friend is sufficiently disqualifying for a mayor on its own.

Unnamed sources are giving Mayor Her's side of the story. Police chief's sexual harassment complaint against the mayor was preceded by "multiple strong disagreements" over ICE response, the budget, and police accountability. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

I tossed pineapple with brown sugar and cinnamon, grilled it, cooked down the marinade into a syrup and served it over vanilla is cream and I gotta say it was pretty fuckin good

A very non-photogenic but delicious bowl of grilled pineapple over vanilla ice cream

I’ve realized Nolan’s work reminds me of those cross-section picture books that show the different internal layers of vehicles and machinery. Each component is immaculately, perfectly rendered, but the people are a little lopsided and stiff.

What is best in life? To crush your enemies To see them blink a few times then disappear To pull off the weird jump to reveal the power-up that lets you shoot lil’ beams out of the end of your sword

The best thing you can hope for with a Ghost Rider movie is a modest but dedicated success as an unexpected genre experiment. I envision some kind of Route 66 Cramps phantasmagoria, but it doesn’t have to be that . Just something specific and weird. It’s absolutely not a star vehicle.

Ryan Gosling will play supernatural horror hero Johnny Blaze, aka 'Ghost Rider,' in a new big-screen incarnation of the Marvel character that will be directed by 'Deadpool & Wolverine's' Shawn Levy. bit.ly/45ndg8Z

It’s an interesting exercise in the evolution of camp from the modest 60’s iteration to this full-blown Broadway theatrical production. But even appreciating the conceit, the more is more execution is exhausting. Also, it’s badly written and Tommy Lee Jones is woefully miscast.

Confidentially, I think a lot of nerds and geeks hate those Schumacher Batman movies not because of their shortcomings but because they're, frankly, gay as hell (complimentary).

Jim Carrey? More like Jim Cunty!

Mumm Ra really is the funniest character design. A wrinkled old mummy calling on the all the powers of ancient and profane dark arts to transform into an extremely jacked mummy.

Frey is the emptiest of empty suits. A worthless golem of vanity and hair gel. His lil’ tough guy speech immediately followed by an appearance at the White House correspondents dinner shows just how deep his conviction goes.

jacob frey, the mayor of minneapolis who only stood up to ICE by swearing on TV instead of joining city residents even just for a school patrol shift, is now featured in north star dawn’s new ad on behalf of angie craig and it’s being funded by dark money
