The 7% Solution. Drs. Freud and Watson team up to help Sherlock Holmes overcome his cocaine addiction.
Fun movie, directed by the author of the original novel.
I can’t remember the exact name, but there’s a common process with ongoing characters where the writers find themselves making their toughest characters nicer over time.
Both Wolverine and Jack Reacher were presented as unapproachable loners at first, and both mellowed considerably over time.
Rorschach was ‘lucky’ because he got to die a noble death before being forced to become civilized.
Alan Moore talks about how he created Rorschach to be the most disgusting character imaginable. A total loser with no friends and a twisted view of the world.
He says he’s tired of all the fan boys who come up to him and tell him how Rorschach is them!
One reason George Washington wasn’t the worst general was that he was actually a fine horseman and could get around the battlefield quickly.
Try an actual book written by one of the best minds of our time.
lol!
I’ve worked retail, and seen old women spending hours picking out the right pair of Doc Martens.
You can be butch and fashion conscious.

From the movie “Mahogany”
“You’re only young once, but you can be immature forever.”
Everyone is different.
Sexually transmitted diseases in retirement homes. Actual medical study.
In both cases it’s internalized.
Remember the line where a 20something actor says that he should have stayed in high school, because high school girls stay the same age and he’s getting older?
A wise woman* once opined that a man wasn’t old until there were no women his age he found attractive, and that a woman was old the first time she looked for a dress to make her look younger.
Comparing business in ancient times with business today is like comparing warfare of today with sword and shield fighting.
The funny thing is that Bush Dr. castigated Reagan’s tax cuts as ‘voo-doo economics’ when they were running against each other in the primaries. Once Reagan won the nomination, Bush signed on whole heartedly
LBJ wanted to have social spending and have a massive knockout punch in Vietnam. Instead of a knockout punch, the War turned into a massive quagmire. It was costing the US a fortune, but LBJ didn’t want to raise taxes, so he printed money. Nixon got elected and doubled down on the War and using inflation to pay for it. The4n the OPEC oil embargo hit and inflation went through the roof.
Jimmy Carter’s plan [controlled by Fed chair Paul Volker] solved inflation, but by the time it kicked in Carter had been replaced by Reagan. Reagan deregulated a lot of industries and let them run wild.
In 1968, ‘middle class’ was defined as one Union job supporting a family of four. At that time $1 million was a vast fortune. By the time Bush Sr. was out, ‘middle class’ meant two incomes to run the home, and $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
38·13 days agoYes. If a 14 year old gets pregnant it’s because she was weak willed; if a 50 year old man gets caught with a 14 year old girl it’s because she seduced him.
A quick search shows that at least two Federal agencies are involved [FAA and NTSB] in any investigation. You could probably do a Freedom of Information Act search.
The usual process is to release an edited version.
I’d think that unless there was a compelling reason, like an allegation that the pilot deliberately crashed the plane, they’d respect the crews privacy.
On the other hand, if you’re already on the battlefield…
“Hands across the water.”
Mao said that the revolutionary moves among the population like a fish moves through the sea.
The people who are doing the most are the ones who are quiet and circumspect; they have jobs and pay their taxes and never confront the police.
“Hide in plain sight.”
Wrong clip
I’m not a medical historian, but he must have been of some use, otherwise we’d have never heard of him.
Just because a lot of his work has been supplanted doesn’t mean he should be condemned
