Everything man made thing just confuses us but nature, that makes sense, it's the only thing that makes sense and I promise you the super rich along with their bought and paid for politicians just want you confused and thinking you need them to exist. Corporations know that the goal is taking up your time and Uncle Sam and Daddy Black Rock want all of it and everything they can get out of using you to make them richer and their lives better and more enjoyable.

Very good piece about how out of touch with reality streaming company's CEO's are.

Filmmakers Are Standing Up to Netflix After CEO Ted Sarandos’ Recent Comments

It's up to the industry to prove to the CEO that theaters aren't outdated.

Could there be a part III in the future? While there hasn't been an official announcement of "The Last of Us Part III," there have been several discussions and hints from Naughty Dog and the series creator, Neil Druckmann, suggesting it's a possibility: **Neil Druckmann's Comments:** * **"One More Chapter":** In the making-of documentary for "The Last of Us Part II," released in early 2024, Druckmann stated that he believes there is "probably one more chapter to this story." He mentioned having a "concept" that excites him as much as the first two games and has a "throughline for all three." * **"Don't Bet On It" but Open:** More recently, during press for "The Last of Us" Season 2 on HBO, Druckmann has been more cautious, saying, "I guess the only thing I would say is don't bet on there being more of 'Last of Us.' This could be it." However, he also emphasizes that Naughty Dog will only create a Part III if they find a "compelling story" with a "universal message" about love, similar to the first two games. * **Creative Process:** Druckmann has explained that Naughty Dog has the creative freedom from Sony to decide their projects. They will only move forward with a new "Last of Us" game if they have a story they are passionate about. **Rumors and Speculation:** * **Casting Calls:** There have been unconfirmed rumors of casting calls for new characters potentially related to a third game. One rumor described a group of scavengers living on the outskirts of a post-apocalyptic city. * **Production Status:** Some unverified industry insiders have claimed that "The Last of Us Part III" is already in "advanced production," with performance capture underway. However, these claims should be treated with skepticism. * **Naughty Dog's Development Capacity:** Reports suggest that Naughty Dog might have a larger team than what is currently working on their newly announced IP, "Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet," leading to speculation that another team could be in the early stages of "The Last of Us Part III." **Naughty Dog's Focus:** * Currently, Naughty Dog is heavily involved in the production of "The Last of Us" HBO series, with Druckmann serving as a writer and executive producer. * They also recently announced a brand-new IP called "Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet," which is stated to be in development for the PlayStation 5 and has been in the works since 2020. This new project is likely taking up a significant portion of the studio's resources. **Conclusion:** While there are definitely hints and a stated "concept" for a potential "The Last of Us Part III" from Neil Druckmann, **there has been no official confirmation of its development.** Naughty Dog is currently focused on their new IP, "Intergalactic," and the ongoing HBO series. It seems that the creation of another "Last of Us" game hinges on Naughty Dog finding a compelling and meaningful story they want to tell. While the success of the franchise and Druckmann's past comments suggest it's a strong possibility in the future, it's not something that has been formally announced as of May 18, 2025.

If you care about the treatment and regulation of your local water and are interested in doing your part to make sure those that we are supposed to trust to take care of and properly treat this precious resource, then please feel free to edit and use this compelling letter template (tips on how to use this letter most effectively will be directly after the letter template). Subject: Demanding Transparency and Accountability for Safe and Clean Water in [Your Community/State] To Whom It May Concern: As a concerned resident of [Your Community/State], I am writing to express my profound interest and expectation regarding the safety and quality of our drinking water and the responsible management of our wastewater systems. Recent discussions have highlighted the complex processes involved in treating our water and the potential for various contaminants to persist despite these efforts. While I understand the regulatory frameworks and treatment facilities in place, I also recognize the inherent human element in these systems, which introduces the possibility of errors, oversights, and the prioritization of short-term gains over long-term public health and environmental well-being. The trust placed in our water providers, regulatory agencies, and elected officials to safeguard this essential resource is significant. However, this trust necessitates unwavering transparency, rigorous oversight, and a demonstrable commitment to prioritizing public health and environmental protection above all else. The potential consequences of failing to uphold these responsibilities are far-reaching and unacceptable. Therefore, I urge all parties involved – our local water utility ([Name of Utility]), the [Your State] Department of Environmental Protection (or equivalent agency), our elected officials at the [Local/State/Federal] level, and any other relevant stakeholders – to: * **Enhance Transparency:** Provide clear, accessible, and comprehensive information to the public regarding water quality testing, treatment processes, potential risks, and any instances of non-compliance or exceedances of safety standards. This information should be readily available online and through regular community updates, going beyond the mandated Consumer Confidence Reports. * **Strengthen Oversight and Enforcement:** Ensure that regulatory agencies are adequately funded and empowered to conduct rigorous and independent inspections, monitoring, and enforcement of water quality regulations. Penalties for violations must be significant enough to act as a true deterrent. * **Invest in Infrastructure and Technology:** Prioritize and allocate sufficient resources for the maintenance, upgrading, and implementation of advanced wastewater and drinking water treatment technologies capable of effectively removing both conventional and emerging contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, PFAS, and microplastics. * **Promote Ethical Practices and Accountability:** Foster a culture of responsibility and ethical conduct within water management organizations. Implement robust internal controls and accountability mechanisms to minimize the potential for negligence or cost-cutting measures that could compromise water quality. * **Actively Engage the Community:** Create meaningful opportunities for public input and feedback on water-related policies and decisions. Respond transparently to community concerns and work collaboratively to address any identified issues. As an individual member of this community, I am committed to staying informed and engaged on these critical issues. I expect our entrusted parties to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to providing safe, clean water for all residents and to protecting our precious natural resources for future generations. I urge you to prioritize these responsibilities with the utmost diligence and to actively communicate your efforts to the public. I look forward to your proactive response and demonstrable actions that will reinforce public trust in our water systems and ensure the long-term health and well-being of our community. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [Your Contact Information] **How to Use This Letter:** 1. **Personalize It:** Replace the bracketed information with your specific details and the names of your local water utility and relevant state and local agencies. 2. **Identify Your Audience:** Decide who you want to send the letter to. You can send it to: * Your local water utility (General Manager, Board of Directors) * Your Mayor or City Council members * Your State Representatives and Senators * The head of your state's environmental protection agency * Your U.S. Representatives and Senators (especially those on relevant committees) * Local environmental advocacy groups (to inform them and potentially collaborate) 3. **Send Copies:** Consider sending copies of your letter to multiple parties to ensure broad awareness of your concerns. 4. **Follow Up:** If you don't receive a response within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., a few weeks), consider following up with a phone call or email. 5. **Amplify Your Voice:** Consider sharing your letter or your concerns with neighbors and encouraging them to take similar action. Collective action can have a greater impact. You could also consider writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. By using this letter and actively engaging with the relevant parties, you can contribute to putting pressure on those responsible for ensuring the safety and cleanliness of your community's water supply.

Netflix finally taking a stab at un-wokeifying itself with Tom Seguras "Bad Thoughts" is a small win for comedy. Although, sometimes you can tell they're trying "too" hard to be funny this show will make you laugh I promise.

Fun fact: Kiribati is the first country to see the new year.

The problem with a liberal government (pre-ww1 Italy prime example) is that it fails to address a countries problems which then creates a power vacuum for a fascist regime to fill, if those problems get too out of control. There will be a nationalist uprising because the people will feel that they aren't being treated fairly in accordance with their sacrifices made for their country, wether it be hard work, military service etc. This leaves the way for charismatic individuals to propagandize and fuel the peoples rage which then paved the way for individuals with violent tendencies to makes moves that the masses typically wouldn't make on their own but that they can be motivated by and follow. This is why a good mix of right/left/center type politicians is the only way to keep things stable and why the United States experiment has operated fairly stable for so long. With the problems that the country is facing, no thanks to the government, coming more and more to light thanks to the Internet, the balances have been tipping right to left more than ever each election cycle simply because the only power the people have is to vote party members out of power when they do not do well. Which leads to a problem that's coming more and more to light as of late. The party's in power won't have enough time to get things done they were mandated to do before the next opposition party takes over. I think there needs to be some fundamental government reform .
