I sometimes get the feeling that guys like Newsom are trying to get ahead of anti-Trump momentum to take credit for it so they can pose themselves as the party's salvation without actually committing to meaningful change.

The list is just a hand-written piece of paper that reads: "TO KILL: BROWN PEEPUL" posted on Pete's office door.

Everyone's skeleton is colored like a rainbow which is why people who hate gays are so self-loathing.

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

β€œAnna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

This same fight is happening basically all over again with silicosis - companies don't want to pay to do the work safely and it is costing workers their health and, often, lives.

As to whether they would outright rise against a slightly more creeping form of authoritarianism the case is a lot more hazy.

I'll say that cops self-select for cowardice and lack of moral courage, whereas the military population is a lot more diverse. I think large portions of the military would refuse to support an overt authoritarian takeover.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

If the tiny drone tanks with which we've been threatened since the early aughts actually become a thing will those be tankettes?

You don't have an argument or a point here other than saying that you don't want to engage intellectually with your entertainment. If that's your stance, great, but I don't know why you think A) anyone gives a shit about your preference for ignorance or B) wants to be more like you.

Predator is at least partly a satire about the big brash American commandos running into a situation for which they are entirely unprepared and being massacred largely due to their own overconfidence. Kind of sounds like a critique of, hmmm, every U.S. conflict since Vietnam, huh?

I largely agree with you; I do think there's something to be said for the US intelligence "mainstream" creating Sentry, the tool of the country's potential destruction, and its castoffs having to salvage it, but I don't think there's enough meat there to justify the rest.

Both types have a responsibility for their message, but there isn't an expectation to rewrite Shakespeare's words, whereas if you're writing a new screenplay, even if you're using an old character, you are creating a message with the contents of that screenplay.

Every piece of art is inherently political in what it chooses to present and how, and whose perspectives it centers and whose it ignores. There's a huge difference between writing a new piece of art based on an old property and a new presentation of an existing piece.

That's fair. I certainly hit more low-hanging objects with the hard hat on then off. I will say a Type 1 safety helmet is more like a skate helmet in terms of profile but it's certainly more than a skullcap.

No interest in a standard industrial hard hat or safety helmet? I use Bullard at work and they're fine.

I need somebody to bring to life an idea I've just had: a PokΓ©mon parody version of Hall and Oates's "Maneater" titled "Gym Leader".

It's like saying something to a mirror and being inordinately pleased that the person inside the glass agrees with you.

Do you know why two authors are listed, but only your information is in the about the author blurb at the bottom of the article? Just curious. I never played the game, but I found your article very interesting!

That panel does not add value to the airplane production stream. Lean size sigma says it's got to go.

Is it time to build 120mm VT for anti-air use? Hell, make a six-pack cluster munition of 20mm VT flak rounds and turn your MBT into a mini-Bofors.
