Twin Cities. Librul.

Left Twitter for Threads and left Threads for here. What's next?
Birthright. Uh huh.

Cleetus, there is not a white person in this country who isn't here because of immigration.

Has there ever been an omnibus Impeachment?

Near the end of the article, there's an email where Epstein makes the point that the changing society -- in which guys were suddenly being held accountable for being creeps -- had *elevated* his reputation in that clubby world. They were coming to him for advice.

And this was buried at the END.

>Toward the end of his life, Mr. Epstein expressed amazement about the sudden cultural shift in an email to Joi Ito...

“With all these guys getting busted for harassment, i have moved slightly up the reputation ladder and have been asked everyday for advice etc,” Mr. Epstein wrote to Mr. Ito.<

If I search the archives, will I find any similar story involving crack addiction in the 90s?

It would be helpful for this person to familiarize him/herself with:

1) Any basic English textbook
2) Matthew 7:1-3.

I will always consider that a Star Trek movie, and it's a top-5 Star Trek movie along with Galaxy Quest.

Thanks, but it's all so subjective. Ask me tomorrow and maybe a couple of those would be different.

There was a Gatling gun on the rover. Why was there a Gatling gun on the rover? I swear, in a movie full of brain-dead takes I think that's when I finally gave up and just wanted my money and time back.

You didn't ask, but this is the Internet:

TOS: Balance of Terror
TAS: Yesteryear
TNG: Yesterday's Enterprise
DS9: The Visitor
VOY: Blink of an Eye
ENT: Carbon Creek
DSC: That Hope is You, Part 1
PIC: No Win Scenario
LD: wej Duj
PRO: Time Amok
SNW: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

In which paragraph do they finally note that this is an insane breach of journalistic ethics?
November 14, 2025 at 5:43 PM
Forgot about Carbon Creek. That was decent Trek. You win.
November 14, 2025 at 5:24 PM
I mean, Picard was (purely subjectively speaking, I understand) a worse series but I can't think of a single episode of Enterprise that was better than No Win Scenario (s03e04).

If he wants to have purely transactional sex, there's a way to make that happen.

I don't think I agree with a single thing on this list, except leaving Enterprise off of it, but it's a fabulous conversation starter.

Is there a private equity success story? (I mean, besides for the equity firm's investors.) It sounds like every company that goes through this ends up in shambles and then shutters.

"Feet first," I might add. I definitely chuckled.

I like how the incredibly obvious twist gets two overly dramatic musical cues in the film -- once when it's revealed to the audience and once when it's revealed to the main character.

We won WWII in less than a quarter of the time that they've had to come up with a health care plan.

I had a really hard time with Julian and Odo being creepy and unprofessional early on.
