Ryan Reynolds & Huge Jackman Agree To A Truce
Laughing Man coffees actual commercial. I personally prefer Ryan's version.
Why was a paste applied to German tanks?
And that's why we use sticky bombs, Pvt Ryan.
New Rule: Conspiracy Weary | Real Time with Bill Maher
Ryan, Burr, McConnell, Rinos at best. Gowdy, sad to listen to him on this matter. Taken with a grain of salt.
Other than than that the Obama administration is shown to be spying on Trump and lying about it. Deep state is alive and well and Trump is draining it, One Obama appointee at at time.
Gowdy, Ryan, Burr, McConnell all publicly supported it this week alone....pretty much just the dregs of the "freedom caucus" left crying fake, and even they are getting quiet. Republican leadership is seemingly, finally convinced of the obvious.
Better start figuring out why you love Pence and how impeachment was all a genius Republican plan to get Pence into power.

Gowdy is is the only Republican supporting Muller investigation.
Patrick Stewart Looks Further Into His Dad's Shell Shock
Possible, but I don't really think so. I think that the Medical minds of the time thought that physical shock, pressure waves from bombing etc. as you described, were a (or perhaps THE) primary cause of the psychological problems of returning soldiers. So the name "shell shock" came from there, but the symptoms that it was describing were psychological and, I think precisely equal to modern PTSD. Basically, "shell shock" became a polite euphemism for "soldier that got mentally messed up in the war and is having difficulty returning to civilian life".
My grandfather was an Army Air Corps armorer during WWII. He went through basic training, but his primary job was loading ammunition, bombs, external gas tanks, etc. onto P-47 airplanes. He was never in a direct combat situation, as I would describe it. He was never shot at, never in the shockwave radius of explosions, etc. But after the war he was described as having mild "shell shock", manifested by being withdrawn, not wanting to talk about the war, and occasionally prone to angry outbursts over seemingly trivial things. Eventually, he started talking about the war in his mid 80's, and here's a few relevant (perhaps) stories of his:
He joined the European theater a couple days after D-Day. Came to shore on a Normandy beach in the same sort of landing craft seen in Saving Private Ryan, etc. Even though it was days later, there were still LOTS of bodies on the beach, and thick smell of death. Welcome to the war!
His fighter group took over a French farm house adjacent to a dirt landing strip / runway. They put up a barbed wire perimeter with a gate on the road. In one of the only times I heard of him having a firearm and being expected to potentially use it, he pulled guard duty at that gate one evening. His commanding officer gave him orders to shoot anyone that couldn't provide identification on sight. While he was standing guard, a woman in her 20's rolled up on a bicycle, somewhat distraught. She spoke no English, only French. She clearly wanted to get in, and even tried to push past my grandfather. By the letter of his orders, he was "supposed" to shoot her. Instead, he knocked her off her bike when she tried to ride past after getting nowhere verbally and physically restrained her. At gunpoint! When someone that spoke French got there, it turned out that she was the daughter of the family that lived in the farm house. They had no food, and she was coming back to get some potatoes they had left in the larder.
Riding trains was a common way to get air corps support staff up to near the front, and also to get everybody back to transport ships at the end of the war. On one of those journeys later in the war, my grandfather was riding in an open train car with a bunch of his buddies. They were all given meals at the start of the trip. A short while later, the track went through a French town. A bunch of civilians were waiting around the tracks begging for food. I'll never forgot my grandfather describing that scene. It was tough for him to get out, and then all he managed was "they was starvin'!" He later explained that he and his buddies all gave up the food that they had to those people in the first town -- only to have none left to give as they rolled past similar scenes in each town on down the line.
When my mother was growing up, she and her brothers learned that they'd better not leave any food on their plates to go to waste. She has said that the angriest she ever saw her dad was when her brothers got into a food fight one time, and my grandfather went ballistic. They couldn't really figure out what the big deal was, until years later when my grandfather started telling his war stories and suddenly things made more sense.
A lot of guys had a much rougher war than my grandfather. Way more direct combat. Saw stuff much worse -- and had to DO things that were hard to live with. I think the psychological fallout of stuff like that explains the vast majority of "shell shock", without the addition of CTE-like physical head trauma. I'd wager that when the docs said Stewart's father's shell shock was a reaction to aerial bombardment, that was really just a face-saving measure to try to explain away the perceived "weakness" of his condition.
I feel there's confusion here.
The term "shell shock" covers two different things.
One is purely psychological, trauma over seeing things your brain can't handle. This is what most people think of when they hear the term.
Two is physical, and is CTE like football players get, caused by pressure waves from nearby explosions bouncing their brains inside their skulls. It sounds like this is what Stewart's father had, as it causes violent tendencies, confusion, and uncontrollable anger.

It's Mueller Time! Trump Administration Season Ending
Ugh...
Yes, they all deserve to go to prison, but...
President Pence?
President Ryan?
Isn't it better to have an incompetent jerk who wants to take from everyone else and give to the rich over a barely competent jerk who wants to take from everyone else, give to the rich, and take basic human rights away from women?
And don't give me any of that "Ryan's a policy wonk" bullshit. He only looks smart in a room filled with his Republican colleagues.
Listening to Rage Against The Machine for the first time
Given some of the other bands he mentioned, he'll probably be blown away by Prophets of Rage as well.
And I'm with @ChaosEngine on this, that we should be mad that things are worse now...
Short of lying, how can somebody like Paul Ryan claim to be a fan of the band, and be the way he is. Of course, having been on the far right myself for the first 30 plus years of my life, that one just closes one's ears. You put blinders on, and above all don't vet, you just rely on shallow Google searches that show you are still on the correct side.

Good one, but to be fair, Jim and his lackeys had plenty of guns, and they almost certainly used them to force many to drink, and definitely used them to murder congressman Ryan and his group.

Star Trek Discovery's Theme Song Preview
I'm going to have a really big problem with this show if it's in the JJ Abrams style with lens-flare and characters constantly running from scene to scene to instill a sense of urgency, descending into mindless fast-and-the-furious action as the series progresses.
The main character (the one from Walking Dead) is a solid choice, which was necessary in a show that had such strong female leads as Jeri Ryan and the incredible Kate Mulgrew.
The micro text to McCain's down vote of the ACA repeal
They needed a yes vote from McCain, and abstention wouldn't work.
A large number of Republican senators knew very well that skinny repeal was the worst of both worlds. Likely a deadlocked conference committee would have lead to Ryan jamming it through the house as written, at which point insurance premiums would rise meteorically with the withdrawal of the individual mandate.
McCain probably believes he's saving his party from a political disaster as well as a bad policy, and he isn't the only one. At least ten senators expressed serious reservations about the possibility I outlined above.
One commentator I heard on the radio said, "It was always going to be 49-51, the only question is who would be the 51st no vote." McCain took one for the team.
Anybody else think the Republicans are going to fight this, claiming his brain cancer makes him ineligible to vote, so his vote doesn't count?
I'm certain some of them will make that claim publicly, I just wonder if they'll claim it on the Senate floor.
Justice League - Comic-Con Sneak Peek
Wonder who that could possibly be at the end?
Maybe it's Ryan Reynolds?
BWAHHAHAHAAHA
Baby Driver -- Opening Scene (Amazing car chase)
Except that lead actor. Nobody was home.
I kept imagining what a young Johnny Depp or Ryan Gosling could have done to inject some soul into surface portrait.
I'm an acting nerd. What can I say.
And yeah. I felt like applauding at the end of this sequence when I saw it in the theatre. Edgar Wright. Yeah.
BLADE RUNNER 2049 Making-Of Featurette
Yeah... i just really, really wish it didn't have Gosling in it. It's not that i dislike the man, it's just that i can only ever see him as ryan gosling rather than the character he's playing. I think he's a terrible choice for such a seminal film title, but i'll be pleased if this is the exception to the rule.
I think he had one single expression on his face for the entire trailer, including the behind the scenes interview...
