Hard Pass

Isn't it common sense that people breaking the law should get deported and go back to where they came from? For Pete's sake, I wish people were more conservative about this!

We are the Gordon Central Dictator party. Our official website is at https://gcdp-for-railway-production.up.railway.app/, and you can apply for membership there.

I just pushed v22 of my project : a local AI companion for Radarr, that goes beyond generic genre or TMDb lists.

This isn't "yet another recommender". It's your personal taste explorer that actually gets the vibe you want in natural language and builds recommendations starting from your existing library.

Key highlights from a real recent run:

• Command: --mood "dystopian films like Idiocracy, Gattaca or In Time"
• Output: Metropolis (1927), V for Vendetta, Children of Men, Brazil (1985), Minority Report, Dark City, Equilibrium, Upgrade, The Road... → oppressive/surveillance/inequality/societal critique atmosphere, not just "dark sci-fi".

How it works :

• Starts by sampling random movies from your Radarr collection (or uses your mood/like/saga input).
• Asks a local Ollama LLM (e.g. mistral-small:22b) for 25 thematic suggestions based on atmosphere/vibe.
• Validates each via OMDb (IMDb rating, genres, plot, director, cast...).
• Scores intelligently: IMDb rating + genre match + director/actor bonus + plot embedding similarity (cosine on Ollama embeddings).
• Adds the top ones directly to Radarr (with confirmation: all / one-by-one / no).
• Persistent blacklist to avoid repeats.

Different modes :

• --mood "dark psychological thrillers with unreliable narrators" , any vibe you describe
• --like "Parasite" --mood "mind-bending class warfare" (or just --like "Whiplash")
• --saga (auto-detects incomplete sagas in your library and suggests missing entries) or --saga "Star Wars"
• --director "Kubrick" / --actor "De Niro" / --cast "Pacino De Niro" (movies where they co-star)
• --analyze → full library audit + gaps (e.g. "You're missing Kurosawa classics and French New Wave")
• --watchlist → import from Letterboxd/IMDb
• --auto → perfect for daily cron / Task Scheduler (wake up to 10 fresh additions)

Standout features:

• 100% local + privacy-first (Ollama + free OMDb API only)
• No cloud AI, no tracking
• colored console output, logs, stats, HTML/CSV exports
• Synopsis preview before adding
• Configurable quality profile, min IMDb, availability filters
• Works on Windows, Linux, Mac

GitHub (clean single-file Python script + detailed README):

If you're tired of generic Discover lists, Netflix-style randomness, or manual hunting give it a spin. The vibe/mood mode + auto saga completion really change how you expand your collection.

Let me know what you think, any weird mood examples you'd like to test, or features you'd want added!

It was actually not too traumatic. At my kitchen sink, nice plastic bag handy. Paper towels. All clean.

And then I had this bag.

Republicans block resolution to take up the measure, which Democrats vow to bring up ‘again and again and again’

Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a measure that aimed to rein in Donald Trump’s power to wage war against Iran without congressional authorization.

The 53-47 vote against taking up the measure fell almost completely along party lines, with no movement from earlier this month when Republicans blocked Democrats’ bid to limit Trump’s war-making power in the days after the joint US-Israeli strikes, known as Operation Epic Fury, began across Iran.

The senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has led several war-powers efforts, was the only Republican to vote in support of the measure, while the senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who has emerged as a staunch supporter of Israel, was the only Democrat to break with his party and vote against the resolution.

First Nations leaders in Manitoba are seeking accountability after they say a 75-year-old elder was harassed and accused of stealing by two men at a Winnipeg Walmart store.

Elder Mary Laquette, who is from Lake St. Martin First Nation, said the men swore at her, took items from her, accused her of stealing and ordered her to leave the store.

"It's not right for somebody to treat me like that, when I wasn't even thinking of stealing," said Laquette, who has mobility challenges and uses a walker.

She uses the walker to store the items she intends on buying while grocery shopping.

A student in Rivers, Man., says he is stunned the small community was the site of a high-profile arrest after police say a teenage boy was planning simultaneous school attacks with another youth in Nova Scotia.

"I was surprised. Didn't really expect it. It's a small town. You don't really think of things like this happening in such a nice community," Cole Lelond, a Grade 11 student at Rivers Collegiate, said.

"It definitely worries me, now that I know things like that could happen in such a small community."

Police in Bridgewater, N.S., said they were alerted by international police agency Interpol and the FBI about online communications between a 15-year-old girl in that town and a 14-year-old boy in Manitoba. The pair were communicating about their desires to mount attacks at their local schools, Park View Education Centre and Rivers Collegiate, police said.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is set to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience, one of the world's most popular podcasts.

Poilievre revealed in a social media post on Wednesday that he had recently sat down with host Joe Rogan.

"Fought for Canadian workers and Canadian interests on the world’s biggest podcast. Thank you [Rogan] for an amazing conversation. Let’s get tariff-free trade," the Opposition leader wrote on X.

A Conservative spokesperson confirmed with CBC News that a three-hour long episode of Rogan's podcast featuring a conversation with Poilievre will be released Thursday.
