This is the Tank Girl origin story
My 10-year-old daughter asked for roller skates for Christmas and so far she has:
- cut her hand open
- ripped a shelf off the wall
- broken her glasses (she had an extra pair, all good), and
- given herself a cut across the eyebrow for which I was close to taking her to the hospital for stitches

Watched THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER again tonight, hoping to set the year on a better course than the last one. Just a splendid experience from stem to stern, McTiernan charging through the story with all the confidence of a guy who just made DIE HARD.
And there's Jan de Bont's imagery, of course.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.
