RIP Syril Karn. You were a good deputy inspector and we'll miss your wacky hijinks, incredible outfits, and enigmatic yet revealing expressions.
Whole bunch of cops sitting around in parked cars rn at Dupont Circle. Is this a particularly unsafe area requiring a heavy police presence? Not from what I can see. What’s going on, MPD?

Oliver Wendell Holmes. Paul J. Revere. The Hallowell brothers. Two future commanders of USCT regiments. Every major battle except First Bull Run.
The first episode is them all enlisting a la All Quiet. Then news of First Bull Run comes and the realities of war hit.

Just finished my Rogue One rewatch. Obviously its luster has faded a little since 2016 but watching it in the wake of Andor S2, it does feel like a natural progression of the show into another arc. Cassian makes a friend and initiates her into the Rebellion. K2 is sassy. Mon and Saw are back!

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal";
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,

Big week for finding out who amongst our number has purchased an express ticket to Hell. God is watching and his judgment is righteous indeed.

Those who know me are aware of my "free speech-skeptic" positions but, real talk, the first thing to go must be news articles that are just about reactions to an event rather than an event itself; they're basically license to editorialize by selectively presenting interviews as real public opinion

2024 was probably the most miserable year of my life so far for a variety of reasons. In particular I have been punished many times for committing the sin of hope and it is profoundly difficult to see the road ahead.
We still have to walk it, though.

Congratulations! You have been hired for a minor but important federal government job in the civil service. Whose portrait will you hang in your office to demonstrate your patriotism and ideological stances?
