This book is incredible. The first chapter was about as dark as detective fiction gets, and this chapter had me laughing so hard I got a stitch in my side so bad I had to stop reading.

Probably like a failing country or smooth jazz station in a college town, owned by someone with enough money not to worry too much about it, flips to alternative classics.

After removing a rescue helicopter without explanation in October, the U.S. Coast Guard has returned the aircraft to Newport — and just in time with crabbing season set to begin this month.
US Coast Guard returns rescue helicopter to Newport
The helicopter’s removal from the Newport Municipal Airport in October came as federal contractors began making inquiries about leasing the facility. Many believed it would be turned into a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center.

From the moment Attorney General Dan Rayfield took office in January, the Oregon Department of Justice has been engaged in a nearly full-time battle with President Donald Trump’s administration.

Can't believe anyone would take a soulless megachurch over this.
Within an hour of arriving in Munich I stumbled upon the bejewelled skeleton of Saint Munditia clutching a goblet filled with dried blood, martyred in 310 AD, beheaded with a hatchet. Standard...

A quiet battle has played out in court over grant money to aid counterterrorism efforts that “sanctuary” states like Oregon say is needed to fight true extremist threats from both ends of the political spectrum.
Oregon struggles to land federal counterterrorism money as Trump orders troops to stop ‘terrorists’ hindering ICE
Oregon could lose nearly $18 million worth of terrorism prevention and emergency funding. In the past, the money has paid for bomb detectors, law enforcement training and barriers that prevent cars from plowing into crowds.

I would like Netflix to pay me to make a limited series where rival bands of time travelers are working to ensure the survival or death of Anthony Comstock by dysentery during the Civil War, as an escalating farce.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Generally we assume that Shakespeare characters are speaking thought in real time (that’s why there’s so much less subtext in Shakespeare). it just is so much less… well… dramatically rich… if próspero already has had the thoughts he’s saying here,
instead of figuring some shit out.

I could, as a New Englander, wax poetic about the pure , small scale, and small change Boston crime of “The Friends of Eddie Coyle”. I could talk about Mitchum and Boyle as the leads, or any of the supporting characters that make the movie breathe.

I have volumes of ugly tracts about how Jews, Germans, Finns, Hungarians, Poles, and "Papists" can't possibly acclimate to American life because they are hereditary degenerates.
What I always find fascinating about comments like this is that they have been made about literally every immigrant group throughout American history: Germans, Irish, Miller's Jewish ancestors, etc.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Once more for those in the back
There's this weird idea that refusing an unlawful order undermines civilian supremacy over the military, which is idiotic because unlawful orders violate laws created BY THE CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE. Making laws the military must follow REFLECTS CIVILIAN SUPREMACY OVER IT!
