"Bullet Train" is an action-comedy film directed by David Leitch, screenplay by Zak Olkewicz, and based on the novel by Kôtarô Isaka. David leach was once a stuntman and is now making popular action flicks (Atomic Blonde) and (Deadpool 2). Creatively using humor and dazzling methods of acts of violence aboard a high-speed train and the likes of Brad Pitt couldn't save "Bullet Train" from mediocrity.

Brad Pitt plays the main protagonist, Ladybug; a professional assassin convinced he's cursed with "bad luck." After a sabbatical, Ladybug is the new and improved version of himself who no longer wants to do assassin things. His latest mission sends him to Japan to steal a briefcase full of goodies on a high-speed locomotive. An ongoing theme is that he doesn't want to kill anyone, yet miraculously they end up dying bizarrely.

Student Life versus student lives?

Provost/OAA is not the worse example on campus. That ignoble prize goes to the Office of Student Life or SL. This model for disorganization and dysfunction is headed by a Vice President, who according to the one dimensional organizational chart on its dizzying uninformative website, sits above 10 Associate Vice Presidents and a “leadership team.”

If you’re looking to find both community and purpose from an extracurricular organization, join Central Ohio Revolutionary Socialists at our annual pizza party kicking off the autumn semester.

Have meet-cutes with fellow radicals as you reach for the same slice of pizza (of which there are vegan, gluten-free, and kosher options), discuss politics, and learn about Central Ohio Revolutionary Socialists [CORS] and opportunities to build the Left and enact change outside of the two-party system that’s failed us.

The pizza’s also free, like all food should be.

Consume it “picnic-style” just north of OSU campus, on the south side of the Tuttle Recreation Center, or Zoom in for the discussion portions of our meeting at tinyurl.com/CORSmeeting.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- A Constitutional Court suspended Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha from office on August 24, immediately replacing him with his deputy, while judges decide when Mr. Prayuth's prime ministry should end after he seized power in a 2014 coup and won a 2019 election.

The new Acting Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon, 77, was expected to continue Mr. Prayuth's domestic policies and announce no major changes in international relations.

Mr. Prawit was a former army chief and is an influential political manipulator among conservatives.

He was senior among six deputy prime ministers, and had participated in Mr. Prayuth's coup.

It was not known when the Constitutional Court would issue a final and binding ruling on the opposition's petition which seeks to oust Mr. Prayuth and stage fresh elections.

Mr. Prayuth's opponents say his term as prime minister legally expired on August 24 -- eight years after his August 24, 2014 military coup which toppled an elected civilian government when Mr. Prayuth was army chief.

I’ve had four encounters with Columbus City Council President Shannon G. Hardin since the beginning of the summer.

The first three happened in early June: the executive committee of the Columbus Coalition for Rent Control, of which I’m a member, met with him and Councilmember Shayla D. Favor, Chair of the Housing, Public Health, and Criminal Justice committees on City Council. We had a meeting to discuss whether our petition and their “Housing For All” legislative package had any overlap.

The second was at the panel discussion and “Town Hall” event meant to introduce an educational campaign about said legislation.

After the “Town Hall” – a dog-and-pony show during which three people from the committee were allowed to pose questions to a panel of bureaucrats and an elected official who had nothing to do with the legislation – Council President Hardin asked me what I thought of the proposed legislation.

“It looks like a good framework,” I said, adding, “But – ”

“But it needs to have some teeth,” interjected Hardin. He followed that up by saying, “Thank you for everything you do. Keep holding us accountable – I mean it.”
