Mushiest nosewheel I've ever seen.

My friend Angela threw a 007 themed party. We're collectively, "Octopussy Galore."

Oh, but that was based on Marbury v. Madison, and we've seen how *deeply* this court cares about precedents.

Not to mention leading by example: if we fight dirty the "enemies" can justify fighting twice as dirty. No P.O.W. can claim the moral high ground with their captors when America is committing atrocities worse than Imperial Japan. I sure hope I'm too old to draft.

3. Or 4 if you count Gerald Woodruff, Rick Wakeman, or Don Airey.

So cool! I've instructed in an RV-14, but only touched the stick briefly. Formation flight is awesome!

I admit to shouting "Fuck you, Tarantino," at the end of Kill Bill Part 1.

1. Send DOGE to fire a giant chunk of the workforce.

2. Be baffled that they're reporting that lots of people don't have jobs.

3. Profit?

Clearly, somebody threw out some leftover Texas chili and some leftover beans into their garbage bin. Gail, being the bear that she is, tried a sample and just assumed that they were mixed on purpose.

Took on one of our most troubled USAF pilot trainees and guided her through her first solo flight.
You can't just upload confidence into somebody (like in Johnny Mnemonic) you have to share yours with them and hope it catches.

"The Rift" is my absolute favorite Star Trek novel, and one of the best works of scifi I've ever read. It was exciting, scary, revelatory, sexy, and expansive.

Days of the New, at the Pensacola Civic Center in 2000. It was after Travis Meeks fired the original band. Two dudes with acoustic guitars, a drummer, some lady dancing around with scarves, and Meeks shouting every song into a megaphone into a microphone. Guitarist Left Shark introduced the band.

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I love the bookmark that came in my first Keats & Co box! As soon as I find my copy of Jane Eyre, it has a permanent home. Also when I get "Everything is Tuburculosis," of course.
You, Hank, and all your associates are just the best!

You nailed it. I fix it on the grill at Mom's house whenever I can. Grill the corn by itself, spread on mayo, crΓ©ma, and lime juice, then dust with cotija cheese and (optional) chili powder. If it's "to go," wrap in aluminum foil.

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?

This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

As a temporary god with the combined power of the gems, I think he was immune to death. Other than wanting to woo her, of course. I mean I would too; she's Aubrey Plaza.

I trust this concept more than I trust a New York slumlord to run the country.
