I always love behind-the-scenes videos like this.

Since Jessica Vox played Elphaba Thropp in Wicked (2016-2017, 2018-2019), it definitely feels like she was channeling some of "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" here.

This likely won’t be the last intelligence sharing suspension we see over this - based on the publicly available evidence, these strikes don’t come close to meeting the threshold for deadly force.

OTD, #StarTrekDS9's "Once More Unto the Breach," based on the legend of Davy Crockett at the Alamo. It marked the final appearance of John Colicos as Kor, 31 years after he was first on #StarTrekTOS. It was also the last role of his impressive and varied career.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Finally finished @farawaypress.com's Batman: Revolution (which I'd been working on incrementally).

All in all, a more than worthy follow-up to Batman: Resurrection. As someone who grew up with the Tim Burton films, this novel -- and the duology as a whole -- was great.

If this takes tonal and creative influence from Matt Fraction and @stevelieberart.bsky.social's Jimmy Olsen maxi-series (which was one of the only things I actually enjoyed from the Brian Michael Bendis era of Superman), it's going to be comedy gold.

The show would be led by Skyler Gisondo, reprising his role as Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen, with season one focusing on Gorilla Grodd.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!

Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium.

It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year.

So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.
Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get.

Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December.

Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.

FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet.

If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator.

The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.

That’s fair. We can definitely disagree and still be friends!

That being said, like I said in the comments: I don’t like this deal. I just don’t think the Democrats are going to get a better one.

It’s been 40 days of nothing but “no” from the GOP.
Have never said this to you, but this is a horseshit take, Angry.

I mean, considering @nicholasmeyer.bsky.social himself contributed the story and it's a CBS production, I anatomically assumed going in that KHA was going to be treated as canonical.

Glad to have it finally and officially confirmed.

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!

His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.

What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢
Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.

Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

That’s the thing, there’s really not an heir apparent. None of them have the cult following of Donald Trump, and none of them are really all that charismatic.

I think we’re more likely to see a major GOP civil war for control, that will result in a fractured party.

I don’t have a clue. Dems offered the GOP a 1 year ACA subsidy compromise and the GOP told them to kick rocks.

Longest shutdown continues, I guess.

I’m not sure, but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one.

She’s never given me a reason to doubt her decency, and I suspect this will turn out the same.

I think he’s going to try. I hope a court forces his hand before that - there’s at least one lawsuit pending right now.

It’s very likely a war crime. But we have to understand that there’s not going to be accountability until this administration leaves office.

We stop this by repeating what we just did on Tuesday, but bigger, in 2026.

It sounds like it was Justice Jackson that issued the temporary stay, so I’m assuming it’s just procedural to allow the appeals process to play out.

I’m guessing here, but I imagine this will be expedited.

It’s a tossup between Sandwich Guy and Marge trashing Trump on CNN, even though I know she’s just trying to save her own political future. He’s fuming about it.
