Ooooh I looooooved them. I know everyone talks about Jake Johnson & Zooey Deschanel’s insane chemistry (as they should) but I think Lamorne Morris and Nasim Pedrad had really insane chemistry too. I think I definitely posted about this way back when but they were like the only thing that got me through the slog of season 5 (I think?) when Zooey was on maternity leave.
send me a ship and I'll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it
Will quite literally never get over the fact that prince was watching new girl on tour, liked the show so much he told his people to get him on the show and then zooey thought it was a prank email. Prince even requested to be inserted into a jess/nick storyline 😭 he was so real for the fangirl behavior this is exactly how id act if i was a celebrity
I saw something like this on youtube and it looked like fun so I thought I'd try one here
How it works:
this is the video I'm gonna be editing

Defamation of Harvard students and death threats...a new American McCarthyism against Gaza supporters
A few days ago, in an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal, Stephen Davidoff Solomon, a professor of commercial law at the prestigious University of Berkeley Law School in California, warned companies and employers against hiring his students, accusing some of them of being anti-Semitic. Solomon claimed that some of his students promoted hatred toward Jews and therefore should not be given jobs. “My students are very good academically and are willing to learn quickly, and I regularly recommend hiring them to different companies,” Solomon wrote. “But if you don’t want to hire people who advocate hate and discriminate, don’t hire some of my students.”
The professor, who advises the Jewish Law Students Association, made the serious accusation against his students after the outbreak of the conflict in the Gaza Strip and the spread of pro-Palestinian student demonstrations calling for an end to Israeli attacks on civilians.
Before that, the law firm Winston and Strawn canceled a job offer to three students at Harvard University - the best American university - after they signed a statement condemning Israeli policies. Before that, MSNBC quietly suspended three of its Muslim broadcasters - (each of whom had an hour-long program presented by himself daily) - since the start of the Gaza crisis on the 7th of this month. The three: Mahdi Hassan, Ayman Mohieddin, and Ali Velshi, appear as commentators on the events only. Lenox Hill Hospital, in Manhattan, New York City, also fired the emergency department doctor, Dana Diab, for allegedly praising what Hamas did and rejoicing in the tragedies, after a complaint from the “Stop Anti-Semitism” organization.
""Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said she received death threats following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. She and other progressive lawmakers critical of Israel also received a briefing by US Capitol Police, warning them of potential threats.""
Israel and its various lobbies and organizations spread throughout the United States, silence any voice that exposes the broader and historical framework of Hamas’ attacks, or condemns the Israeli attacks on the residents of the Gaza Strip, or even those calling for a ceasefire. After a number of student associations at Harvard University published a statement in which they condemned the Israeli aggression, demanded an end to the attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip, and attributed what was happening to the continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.
Billionaire fund CEO Bill Ackman and several other business leaders responded with a tweet on the “X” platform in which they demanded that Harvard University publish the names of the students who signed so that they would know so that they would not hire them in the future. One of the pro-Israel non-profit organizations even arranged to display virtual billboards bearing the names and faces of students who support Palestinian rights, under a banner that read: “Anti-Semites at Harvard,” and they were placed on a truck that moved around the campus area. With the aim of defaming these students, intimidating them and their supporters.
Some warning voices came out about what is happening, and Lawrence Tribe, a legal researcher at Harvard University, criticized the attempts to defame the students, and he told CNN: Naming and defaming the students, in addition to “describing them as anti-Semitic, is much more dangerous than useful... "We must not repeat the excesses of the McCarthyite era."
All of the above is reminiscent of the climate of the McCarthyism period in the 1940s and 1950s. This period was characterized by political repression and persecution of left-wing individuals amid a campaign spreading fear of the alleged communist and Soviet influence on American institutions.
The term is named after Senator Joseph McCarthy, who became the most famous and visible public figure through his widely publicized allegations of communist infiltration in branches of the US government. McCarthy's accusations were based on unsubstantiated accusations and insinuations, and were described as demagogic and reckless. However, his tactics were effective in creating a climate of fear and suspicion, and many people were blacklisted or lost their jobs as a result of his accusations.
Yes, the McCarthy era ended in the mid-1950s, yet the legacy of McCarthyism is still keenly felt in American politics these days.
Unlike some European countries, opposition to Israel in the United States is a right protected by the Constitution, and all individuals or groups are free to express their opinions on this issue, or any other issue, without fear of any legal consequences, as the First Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees freedom of expression and the right to Peaceful protest or demonstration.
However, it is important to understand that taking a stance against Israel or its policies can in practice lead to various forms of social, political, or economic consequences, depending on the circumstances and level of opposition.
The lion's share of the attack by Israel's supporters was directed at human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, anti-war activists, progressive political groups, pro-Palestinian activists, academics and many intellectuals, religious groups that reject wars, some members of Congress and many others. University students.
For decades, the American people have maintained their support for Israel, and generally remain supportive of it. However, this support began to decline in recent years, and in response, the percentage of support for the Palestinian cause among young Americans, especially university students, increased. The slogans: “Israel’s right to exist,” “strike the terrorists,” and “anti-Semitism” no longer alone dominate the American scene, and are now competing with slogans including: “Apartheid,” “genocide,” and “ethnic cleansing,” especially among Among American youth.
Supporters of Israel fear the consequences of holding many demonstrations opposing the attacks launched on the Gaza Strip in various American cities, compared to those supporting the Israeli side, especially as the numbers of American Jews continue to decline, compared to the increase in the numbers of Arab Americans and Muslims.
Attempts to silence voices also extended to members of Congress, and progressive Democratic female representatives in the House of Representatives, known for their criticism of Israel, faced a violent reaction from their Republican and Democratic colleagues as well, in addition to Jewish organizations, because of their statements after the start of Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood.” The most important of these representatives is Ilhan Omar from Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Cori Bush of Missouri, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. Condemnation of violence and demands for the necessity of working to achieve peace and a ceasefire dominated the MPs’ reaction to the events, but that position angered supporters of the Israeli side who only wanted to attack and condemn the Hamas movement without addressing the suffering of the Palestinians, or the violence practiced against them.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar also said that she received death threats following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, and she and other progressive lawmakers who criticize Israel also received a briefing by the US Capitol Police, warning them of potential threats.
In conclusion, the United States emerged free from the restrictions and burdens of the European continent, especially with regard to its identity, nationalism, religion, and the conflicts associated with these dilemmas. Despite this liberation, many today call for nationalist, racist, and fascist slogans.
The American media's continued heavy-handed demonization of the Palestinian people, in addition to President Joe Biden's ill-advised speech in standing by Israel without calling on it to stop its attacks or stop bombing civilians, has fueled feelings of anger and extremism among many members of the American people who do not know the details of the Middle East conflict.
After returning from his quick visit to Israel, Biden condemned the dangers of Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, but the American president’s words are not supported by any convincing practical political positions so far.

The government gets wind of a plot to destroy America involving a trio of nuclear weapons for which the whereabouts are unknown. It’s up to a seasoned interrogator and an FBI agent to find out exactly where the nukes are.

Movie Reviews:
DoryDarko: Unthinkable raises a question which has been an issue for many people all over the world for a very long time, and especially since 9/11. This question is, is it ever justified to torture an individual to save the lives of many? And if the answer is yes, how far can you go?
This issue is indeed a very sensitive subject and I think it takes guts for any filmmaker to put it out there in the open like Gregor Jordan did. Add to that the clever fact that he doesn’t actually make a choice, but rather lets the audience decide on whatever they want to think and feel, and you have a pretty gutsy and controversial concept.
In a nutshell, this film is about a man of American descent who has become a Muslim and has now, as an act of terrorism, planted 3 nuclear bombs in 3 major American cities which will go off in four days. Screenwriter Peter Woodward made some very tactical decisions considering the characters in the story. They are all somewhat stereotypical, but this is no bother because they’re all there for a reason. Carrie-Anne Moss, as an FBI investigator, represents the conscience, the sensitivity and the struggle to make the right decision. Samuel L. Jackson is her polar opposite; the brutal, rational, stone cold “interrogator” who does what he does because he’s the only one who can and willing to do it. The means he is willing to go to in order to get his subject to talk ...

I feel like the best Winston and Aly moment by far is when Winston keeps telling that story about the time he fell asleep in a bathtub and no one thinks it’s funny but then Aly hears it and laughs hysterically. It’s such a small thing but it shows that they’re meant to be 🥺🥺
