I know the whole “Can you imagine if Obama/Biden” thing is trite but truly can you imagine if Obama had appointed a female Sec Def and she had started naming operations things like “Operation Valkyrie Vagina” or “Operation Beef Curtains”

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

I would love to see a cooking show where they do everything in a home kitchen (a small one).
No little glass bowls of each spice set out. No pre-prepared chicken breasts read to go. Everything done by scratch.
Then let them say "it's an easy meal to whip up in 30 minutes!"
Fuck you.

I'm the dude that gets taken out in the first round with such a bone crunching noise that the crowd is aghast.

Life gets much easier when you figure out who you are in the bracket of the tournament in a martial arts movie.
Take me. I’m not the winner. Nor am I the bad guy the winner has to beat in the final. But I’m def semi-final, hero-learns-a-lesson-from-my-defeat material.
And there’s grace in that.

ICE offers a “solution”—with a $50k signing bonus, college loan forgiveness, and a chance to feel part of something.
