If he makes a movie about his time on this ship, at least he can call it the Poseidon Adventure.

Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

"John Wick killed a man from 10 yards by throwing a foot long Subway tuna melt into his open mouth, impaling him against a brick wall."

Idea for a fight scene in the next John Wick just dropped...
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

I once attended a meeting in Amsterdam. Someone apologizing for a disappointing result said "I did my best!" and then someone else said "It wasn't good enough!" Felt like a scene in a James Bond movie where Blofeld was about to press the button that dropped a failing minion into the piranha tank.

George Carpozi Jr. tried to warn us...

Revisits Hymes' critique of Ho Ping-ti and shows many of the men who had undistinguished backgrounds (no degree holders in last 3 generations) still had other kin with degrees. Accepted for inclusion next year in an edited volume from Christian Henriot, Cecile Armand and Lien Ling-ling. 2/2

I really wish they would extend the MTR to HKUST but seems unlikely...

Wait, wut?

Clear Water Bay road! As they continue up the road, do we see that the intersection with On Sau Road was under construction back then, too? Seems like they have been working on that intersection since I arrived in HK in 2013.

Sort of surprised that RFK Jr. didn't recommend some quack remedies to him, like eating vegetables shaped like the prostate.

UC Provost Katherine Newman has announced plans to defund this program, a preemptive capitulation with the feds that has not been ordered and should not occur. Newman has done this with zero consultation with campus-level leadership and none with any faculty — mentors or former fellows included.
