The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

One of the things I most associate with Thanksgiving is Mystery Science Theater 3000. One of the many things I associate with Gamera is MST3K.
So, imagine my surprise when I learned that this year, on his 60th anniversary, Gamera's birthday and Thanksgiving fell on the same day.

Movie premise.
Nine Russian “volunteers” killed their escort after deciding not to go fight in Ukraine. Taken straight from prison to the front under contract, they murdered the convoy driver en route and are now on the run in Leningrad region. Russian police are actively searching the outskirts of Kudrovo.

truly the Khan's knowledge of poetry and the arts is as great as his bow-arm and his firm grip on the steed.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

When she moved her wing, it looked like she was beckoning me to sit beside her.

Since this morning we're doing Meta Bluesky Posting, I'll note that there's a certain cohort On Here whose posts hava a subtext of wistfully recalling when they could cyber-bully the editorial boards of the WaPo and NY Times. They sound like 1950s Rumanian exiles recalling when they were nobles.
