  • Weekly thread - What movies have you watched this week? 03/09/2025

    Jump

  • Gaslight (1944)

    Saw this movie in Film App class years ago and each time I watch it, I enjoy it more (plot and Ingrid Bergman). Highly recommended.

    Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001)

    IMO, it portrayed the legend perfectly (as my grandfather told it anyway). I only wish my French was better (use it or lose it) so I can focus on the movie more instead of having to read subtitles. Would like to watch it again and recommend to those who like this kind of movie.

    Fantastic Planet

    (Original French title: La Planète sauvage – 1973)

    This animated sci-fi turned cult classic is a must watch. The movie is based on the 1957 novel Oms en série by Stefan Wul. A perfect movie to watch during this current climate.

  • Wow, that ginger looks healthy… in a pot! Don’t forget to freeze some for tea and lugao (like congee).

    I smell a “what to do with extra ginger” post and I have recipes, lol.

  • Graham Greene Dies: Oscar-Nominated ‘Dances With Wolves’ Actor Was 73

    Jump

  • He appeared in Murder, She Wrote twice (that I can remember); once as a sheriff and a tribal lawyer in another episode. Quite memorable (for me) as he portrayed the characters very well.

    You will be missed. RIP, Mr. Greene.

  • Oatmeal star anise cookies

    Jump

  • This was a hit over the weekend!

    My niece made the oatmeal cookies with star anise – recipe from oatmeal container. They were delicious; I understand why you want to replace the poptarts with cookies.

    The ginger marmalade (from ginger candy and freshly grated ginger) didn’t go over well; they ended up in the ice cream that my SIL made along with chopped cinnamon and brown sugar poptarts and a pinch of anise.

    My family and I have a weird relationship with poptarts: we eat it burn-your-mouth-hot from the toaster or break-a-tooth frozen, never as intended. We are a bunch of weirdos. My nephew really liked the flavor of star anise in desserts so he made a smoothie with it (poptarts, milk, pinch of anise, a scrape of cinnamon and nutmeg).

    These oatmeal cookies just made our Halloween and Thanksgiving menu! They are now my niece’s Signature Cookies, lol.

    Thank you so much for sharing your ideas!

  • Hmmmm… ginger jam as in jam sandwich cookie sounds really good - tedious but delicious (I used to make copycat Milano cookies).

    And eeeeewwww to your pop tarts! Unless they’re chocolate, then crush those things and sprinkle on top of ice cream!

    I’ll have to try anise with oatmeal cookies sometime. Thanks for the tip.

  • Have you tried DuckDuckGo browser? That’s what I use if I need to view something on YouTube. There’s Enable Duck Player in Settings, mine is set up to open a new window (no ads).

    EDIT: No sign up or phone number required. My VPN is always on.

  • Thank you for your input, it was very helpful. I’ve heard plenty of positive feedback about PieFed and wanted some details.

    Jump

  • This screenshot is from July 2025 when I got hit with a paywall and was served with a ton of cookies, so I set my VPN to UK, lol.

    EDIT: This was around the same time as POTUS hit UK with tariffs.

  • The ‘European capital of Brazil’ moves to expel Black politician from office

    Jump

  • In the more than 300-year history of the Brazilian city of Curitiba, no city councillor had ever been removed from office until 2022, when a promising young Black local politician was forced out.

    Renato Freitas had been accused of “breaching parliamentary decorum” by leading an anti-racism protest that ended inside a Catholic church – ironically named Church of the Black Men and built by enslaved people in the 18th century.

    The expulsion was eventually overturned by the supreme court, but it was far from the last case brought against the 41-year-old Freitas, a rising star in the leftist Workers’ party of president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

    He [Freitas] got his ass beat and was left naked in a police station yet he is the one accused of “breaching decorum”.
    His accusers need to come over to my family’s house on Superbowl Sunday so we can teach them what breach of decorum really means.

  • Ugh. I’ve been using Ente photos since I de-googled and gave myself until the end of summer to decide if I want to upgrade my subscription. All week I’ve been trying to figure out if how to migrate to Ente auth. Grrrr!

    Thanks, OP!

  • Madonna calls on Pope Leo to visit Gaza 'before it's too late'

    Jump

  • That’s a very good question.

    What possessed that conclave to come to that swift decision? What was the motivation?
    The conclave states that they elected Pope Leo XIV because he is moderate, he has good administrative skills and the time he spent in the Americas will hopefully make him a unifying figure for the church.

    Meanwhile, I still haven’t gotten over the fact that the cardinals elected an American for a pope. I didn’t think that would ever happen. Ever.

    Let me be clear, I mean no disrespect to anyone (the church, it’s allies and enemies). Like it or not, that position yields power and there are approximately 1 billion Catholics in the world today.

    Pardon the long rant. The short answer is: The pope serves the church.
