Biden Justice Department slow-walked key decisions in Trump legal probes
The picture of a hesitant Justice Department runs contrary to the GOP allegation that the indictments of Trump were the product of a Democrat-led plot.

Love this track Mean Alley off the One Battle After Another soundtrack—when I heard it in the theater it instantly perked my ear up, that bendy out of tune guitar is so good. Fantastic music, bravo Mr. Radiohead

6. A good example of this Pynchon-esque storytelling is the ultra-powerful rightwing cabal in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER: the Christmas Adverturers Club. That's not in Vineland but it really feels like something Pynchon might have thought about but forgot to put in.

Thinking how Thomas Pynchon has a new novel coming out I recalled one of the funniest sections of Gravity’s Rainbow—the Disgusting English Candy Drill, in which Tyrone Slothrop, a WWII GI in London who is perpetually trying to hook up with local women, discovers a nightmarish aspect of UK life.
