Trump needed the money during the last election. Plus, this way Trump can blame all this unpopular stuff on Musk. Trump can say he was just listening to the business community. Now if your question is "should" rather than "why" the answer is no, he should not.

Pretty close to the plot of "Pride and Prejudice."
No. Even when I look in the mirror, I deny it.
I don't get it and I don't want to get it bc I still need to catch up on this season. But for those interested, the series is very good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apothecary_Diaries#Anime
I haven’t seen this yet. I haven’t seen Yojimbo either. Will be watching both soon.
Awesome, I wonder what you thought of them?
Surprisingly decent movie. This is a later Van Damme, where he's visibly old... some action stars just kind of pretend they're still in their 20s but in this one Van Damme plays a character who has a past and has taken plenty of beatings and is just trying to keep his kid safe... And luckily Van Damme is just about a good enough actor to pull it off. This is definitely not a big Hollywood movie with spectacular stunts, but no way is it a bad movie or even a B-movie; the plot is solid and character-centric rather than action-based (though it does have several fistfights and some gun firing and a car chase), and the director puts in some interesing long shots and camerawork. The fact that it's not a typical US franchise film means you never really know how it's going to end, and the tone of the whole film is fairly dark in ways that most big films don't get. Anyway, if that sounds appealing then check it out.

Killer movie, one of the best of Kurasawa's samurai films, second only to Seven Samurai and arguably more entertaining than Ran.
One of my favorite parts is towards the beginning where these conspiring young samurai realize they're surrounded by the enemy, look at each other, and grimly draw their swords to meet certain death. Mifune's character's like: nah, c'mon no need for that... and takes control of things. There are lots of moments like that, even more important than the sword fighting. Like the very last fight, it doesn't matter how it happened, it matters more that it did happen and why.
They're filming a version in space, but in one day in space is like a dozen years on Earth so it won't be done until 2187.
Churchillian Drift is the term, coined by British writer Nigel Rees, which describes the widespread misattribution of quotes by obscure figures to more famous figures, usually of their time period.[1] The term connotes the particular egregiousness of misattributions to British prime minister Winston Churchill.

Hey, it's Superbowl Sunday! Since I don't have the kind of image hookup that anon6789 does, I'm looking thru wikipedia for owls that I dig.
This here's a Sri Lanka bay owl! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka_bay_owl Looks very otherworldly!

Looks like Pixelfed's growth spurt is slowing down. Absent any new external stimuli I'm guessing it'll stabilize around 200K to 300K monthly active users -- over a hundredfold order of magnitude from what it was just a month ago.
