This is fucking perfect. Also time to boast that I was able to see this with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen and they were brilliant.

Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.

I am in the process of sorting through the many books I have inherited from family who have passed on or who are simply downsizing. I'm finally also starting to inherit bookshelves so I can free these columns from their boxes.

America has no money to pay for cancer research for kids, but we’ve got tons of cash to cut taxes for billionaires and build Trump a new party room at the White House. Make it make sense.

There are reasons the evil dipshits in charge wants people to think DC is a Mad Max style hellscape, but they have little to do with the reality of living here or improving our (already declining) crime rate.

Every detail emerging of the Ukrainian attack is jaw-dropping.
These images released by Ukraine show how the attack drones were hidden in a secret compartment in the top of shipping containers.
Presumably allowing them to be transported without detection.
Russia imported their own destruction.

Woooowwww. This is amazing. Read the whole thread about how the attack happened. Stunning in its genius and thriftiness. Also a gamble that it would work and be effective. If course, it can't ever happen again, but it looks like its devastation was so total, it doesn't need to.
Remarkable scenes at Belaya airfield in Irkutsk, Russia.
Ukraine has launched a devastating attack on Russia’s fleet of strategic bombers.
The base is over 4000 km from Ukraine, but $500 drones are currently wiping out $100 million planes.
Russia’s Pearl Harbor.

Can we agree that Florida/Dallas will be the best Cup Final?

If you’d have offered me 111 points and a series win before the season, I’d have ripped your arm off at the shoulder taking that deal.
It was a frustrating end to the season, the Canes really made the skaters suffer and Andersen singlehandedly swung the series. LT let in some pucks he had to have.
