Rollerballis a 1975 American [6] dystopian science-fiction sports film directed and produced by Norman Jewison [7], starring James Caan. The screenplay, written by William Harrison [8], adapted his own short story "Roller Ball Murder" [1], which had first appeared in the September 1973 issue of Esquire magazine [9]. Set in a "not too distant" future world ruled by a corporatocracy, the predictive film centers on the titular sport — an often-brutal spectacle used to placate the populace. Jonathan E. (played by Caan), the sport's top player, finds himself at odds with the ruling powers when his popularity threatens to hurt their grip on power. It co-stars John Houseman, Maud Adams, John Beck, Moses Gunn, and Ralph Richardson. More

(Zen Panda) Why do people really fall in love? Is it fate, beauty, or something deeper? This fanciful Zen wisdom story reveals the hidden truth behind human attraction. A wise wanderer teaches that love is not given — but reflected. When someone loves us, do they see themselves in us, or are they seeking what they lack? Understanding this distinction can transform how we experience love. Stop chasing it — because if we become whole, love will find us. ππ₯✨ Watch to discover the two powerful truths that change the way we see love forever. #ZenWisdom #love #spirituality #BuddhistTeachings #mindfulness #ZenStories #InnerPeace

(KTLA 5) Dec 5, 2024: Coastal Santa Cruz to Oregon in danger of tsunami. A spate of strong earthquakes struck near the Bay Area on Dec. 5, 2024. This video aired on the KTLA 5 Morning News on Dec. 5, 2024. KTLA 5 News: Keeping Southern Californians informed since 1947.
(Top Discovery) Nov. 6, 2024: What is predictive programming, and why does the popular TV show The Simpsons keep engaging in it? Why is this important? Government insider Stewart Swerdlow, a back door channel between the Kremlin and Washington DC, says Trump will NOT make it to be the 47th president. That will be JD Vance. What happens to Trump to prevent him, even after taking the election? That was not stated. Possibly he has heart failure, possibly he goes to prison, possibly he's "talked into" stepping aside with an offer he can't refuse, or possibly an assassin's bullet finds its target. Only Matt Groening can really know:
With an uncanny track record of foreseeing future events, The Simpsons cartoon series has been dubbed the "Nostradamus of Animation." From accurately predicting political events like the emergence of Trump, giving forewarning about absolute disasters like pandemics, to predicting technology breakthroughs like AI takeovers in 2024, this animated sitcom certainly has a way of sneaking into the future. This video reveals the most unsettling predictions from The Simpsons got eerily right. More

An energetic liar can confuse, mislead, and deceive people. Yet, in many cases, that same liar is unable to reverse the deception. Hoodwinked people embrace their misperceptions.
A Con Man Named Trump
Trump's not bald...except for the toupee on top.
(Ace1000ks1975) An American Western filmed in the 1950s just coincidentally speaks of a man named "Trump" coming to town to fleece everyone of their money by scaring them that if they don't the world is going to end?
Predictive programmingis what we see in the eerily specific predictions of The Simpsons.
What can protesters do to unmask this con man?
He's going to build a "wall" to protect everyone, if they just believe and give him the money. They can't arrest him, they can't make any charge stick, he has freedom of speech to cheat people.
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’ve been fooled,” observed Mark Twain, or at least it was attributed to him and stuck (Quote Investigator).
Awful guy, a symptom of our lying dirty politics
And the moral to the story is, “Elect a clown, expect a circus.” The disruptor, the Swamp drainer, the jailer who locks 'em up, all lies. But it isn't enough he lied before, the "town" panics and rallies to elect him again, not that we the people really elect anybody.
Ex-Pres. DJ Trump is a lying liar who lies.
Candidates are vetted and selected. He knows it and wants to be a dictator so as to not be locked up. Kamala is little better, so follow the fear. Either way, another Yalie (like Skull 'n Bones' own G.W. Bush) will be sitting in the Oval Office re-reading Hillbilly Elegy by the time they're trying to implement Project 2025.
The scenario this American Western, some 1950s' TV show drama, lays out was also explored in The Twilight Zone when a neighborhood block turns on itself because of malicious gossip and rumors. Words can be very dangerous things, and our mouths are like loaded guns. Just ask Hitler, and if he's not available, Trump can probably answer. Not that he'll tell the truth. Why start now. Why would he ever, even in court? So maybe Gene Sharp's book From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation, which came up as the Occupy Movement was being systematically undermined, would be good for the nation to read.
You will respect my authority or...
This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear book is a guide to overthrowing dictatorships by nonviolent means. It lists 198 specific methods to consider: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, hunger strikes... It is a remarkable work that made Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes. Or we could riot in the streets after Nov. 5th, which is exactly what they're hoping, expecting, and prepared for. More
Magnitude 4.9 earthquake shakes Southern California
(KTLA 5) July 29, 2024: A magnitude 4.9 earthquake followed by several strong aftershocks were felt across Southern California early Monday afternoon. Vegan Deborah Marks was live in Burbank on KFI 640 AM (iheart.com) when it hit. As a lot of people know Los Angeles has a lot of smog due to its unique basin configuration, which has been holding in smoke since the time this was Tovaangar, the home of the original inhabitants, the Tongva tribe, now called the Kizh. In ancient times smoke from home fires used to create haze and be held in from onshore breezes and Santa Ana winds.
When people ask, "Why does LA have so much smog," even though it may be the foothills acting like a cup, people still answer, "So God can't see what they're doing down there." Now if the Earth is shaking, do Natives and others ask the same thing? "What gotten into the Great Spirit? We must reform ourselves to see a reformed world. The external very much reacts to the internal of a great number of us, a point which the Buddha repeatedly makes in the Agganna Sutta or the Discourse on Beginnings, a kind of Buddhist Genesis account. KTLA's Shelby Nelson reports on July 29, 2024.

Why recent unusual activities in the San Andreas Fault could trigger a major California earthquake
(Insane Curiosity) July 24, 2024: In the heart of California, a geological time bomb is ticking, and here is where it gets really terrifying. The San Andreas Fault, which spans 1200 km across California, serves as the state's tectonic backbone.
For more than a century, this fault has silently accumulated energy, waiting for the right moment to unleash its fury. The Pacific and North American plates are locked, causing stress with each passing instant. When the fault eventually ruptures, California will be hit by a massive earthquake, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
The scary truth is that this disaster is not a distant threat; it is an impending reality that will occur during our lives. Recent seismic activity in the Parkfield region has scientists concerned that a large earthquake, possibly on the scale of the deadly 7.9 magnitude quake that demolished San Francisco in 1906, is approaching.
What exact seismic events or patterns have been observed in the Parkfield region? Can anything realistically reduce the chance of a 1906 scale earthquake? The answers maybe more horrifying than you could have imagine. #insanecuriosity #earthquake #sanandreasfault
The 82-year-old crank, seen here last month, addressed 250 supporters during town hall meeting on Friday afternoon about what he believes to be the biggest problems in America. No one cared.
I'm unburdened by what has been, and you have been, Bernie, you has-been! STFU.
.
*Click, POW!* - I'll kill you, you SOB old man!
Bernie Sanders has issued a stark warning to Democratic nominee hopeful Kamala Harris that she needs to battle economic inequality or face losing the election.
The 82-year-old Independent addressed 250 supporters during a town hall meeting on Friday afternoon about what he believes to be the biggest problems in America.
Listen to me, Camel La! I know better!!
After an audience member at the event chimed in that the biggest problem was economic inequality, he spoke at length about its far-reaching implications.
He told the crowd:
"Discrepancies between rich and poor, income and wealth inequality...I happen to tend to agree."
I'm an angry capitalist and rich.
Speaking with The Boston Globe after delivering the remarks, Sanders said: "[Kamala] needs to have an agenda that speaks to the crisis facing working families all over this country."
Sanders said that Harris had to have an agenda that speaks to working families facing economic inequality.
STH up, Bernie. Let the Black girl do her thing.
Sanders added: "I think the Democrats are going to have to be very, very clear as to what ideas they have in the midst of massive income and wealth inequality.
