Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

Listen others have noted that this study is flawed, but hey, so many people right now are living in their own horrible, shitheaded realities, let me live in the one where eating SHARP CHEDDAR leaves me with a SHARP MIND.
"A new study has found that eating 50g or more of high-fat cheese a day correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia. That means all cheeses with more than 20 percent fat content, including brie, gouda, cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, and mozzarella." www.sciencealert.com/cheese-linke...

Fascinating reporting. We have the technology to accurately track aircraft on tablets but instead, Army pilots were told to ignore it and try to see out the windshield like it is the 50's.

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.

In my opinion the president shouldn't constantly be like "Holy shit did you guys see this?" and repeating a thing he kinda heard on TV. I don't think that should be mostly what the president does.
He issued a correction, proving why he needs to stfu and let the cops do their jobs.
It’s a a goddamned ongoing tragedy, not a reality TV show, primed for him to drop the big reveal.

A new entry in the PNW weather model hall of fame. Nearly a quarter of the annual average rainfall for many areas in just two weeks.
Still unsure if the deluge will reload for a second week, but if it does then many December rainfall records will fall. Wet gets wetter as the climate warms…

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Public smoking bans just got in under the wire, too. Younger folks might not realize how rare they used to be and how hard they were to enact.
it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.

Trump 2.0, above all else, is characterized by a syndrome in which the regime's leaders are compelled by their own character defects and/or crazed ideological beliefs to commit crimes that leave even deeply jaded, cynical partisans for their side aghast and concerned for their own wellbeing.
Shift from “there may be some classified or legal framework that could potentially be a viable excuse for the use of force if it won in court” to “oh this is the Ur war crime, like so clearly a war crime that there is no legal cover for this specific order”.
