So that's why the Senator from Arizona is texting my Oregon ass on a Monday morning.
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Spain’s Iberia, Portugal’s TAP, Chile’s LATAM, Colombia’s Avianca, Brazil’s GOL and Trinidad and Tobago’s Caribbean airlines have all cancelled flights to Venezuela after the US aviation regulator warned of danger from heightened military activity.

Hate that I know what this means without looking it up.

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

It's wild how "our intellectual elite are a bit morally smug" warrants the same article being pushed out saying as much for a decade, but a global paedophile ring in which many of our richest and most powerful and leading minds all took part is, you know, uncouth to talk about.
Someday you, too, could have the moral fortitude to look upon a years-long rape circus organized by the nation's most powerful elites and declare, "The people upset about this are speaking about it the wrong way."

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum

(also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

As the Avatar of shitty New Yorkers, the president's desire to meet The Mayor, shake his hand, & tell him how the city should be run would naturally be at least 4x higher than the average Shitty New Yorker. I think that's what kept Rudy around so far past his obvious expiration date.

Reposting this on the weekend before the release of @gabrielhardman.bsky.social's BATMAN/GREEN ARROW/THE QUESTION: ARCADIA.
Every issue of Dennis O'Neil's THE QUESTION ended with a specific reading recommendation which tied into the themes of the series. Here, I will compile a complete list of his entire curated collection.

It's totally Diabolique. Overdrawn at the Memory Bank used to have some shooters but we are precious few these days.
Which MST3K movie was actually the best *movie*? Which one has the most non-ironic fans and defenders.

Danger: Diabolique comes to mind (though certainly not the best of the Diabolique films). This Island Earth as well, since they had to pick something a bit more palatable for the theatrical film.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”
