Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Telling all the Republicans I know that the election has been delayed until Thursday so Dick Cheney can be mourned properly

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

There are theories that our universe is just one of many. In some of these theories, those universes are not dissimilar to our own and there may be millions of each of spread out over the multiversal cosmos.

In none of those universes is Johnny Cash "uncool". Not even a little.

Heinlein, with a pinch of Vonnegut
I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

"Stardate: 56844.9. I have just taken command of the USS Cockfield, a Regency Class vessel. Despite my best attempts across the whole crew, I have yet to determine the correct pronunciation of the ship's name"
Starfleet having California class starships named after cities in California and Parliament class starships named after cities in Canada imply the possibility of a third, really messed up starship class named after cities in England.

Read they may reboot Indiana Jones, want lightning to strike twice.
The people who will try will look only at Indiana Jones.

The people who did it the first time understood Allan Quartermain, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Humphrey Bogart, Sherlock Holmes, WWII, Universal's Mummy, Lawrence of Arabia, etc.

Some renewable stats to noodle on as you scroll this morning:

- Solar is the fastest-growing source of electricity in the U.S., growing 7.8-fold over the last 10 years
- In 2024, U.S. generated a record 756,621 GWh of electricity from solar & wind — enough to power 70M+ homes

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel

(No Stunt Man gif, so here's Part 2 of the O'Toole Career Revival. Both apply.)

Once again, you'll notice Cuomo's picture is not in this thread. Because he doesn't live in NYC and you don't see him walking around or doing public events like this.

Vote for Mamdani or Lander and three of the other non-Cuomo candidates. Those folks actually live here and love the city.

Cuomo absolutely will not be for us. You'll never see him in real life. He'll be indoors with billionaires, not out on the street with you and me.

#NoCuomo #NeverCuomo

Had a couple of folk say they wanted to make comics but couldn’t draw well enough. So PSA: if you make the thing, you get better at the drawing (and the writing) in the process of making the thing. And then the next one is a bit better, and so on and so forth. Making “crap” stuff is allowed.
