It hasn’t gone up for preorder yet, so watch Warhammer Community!

Wow 82, that’s amazing. Hope he enjoys it, I always really appreciated when older relatives tried reading or watching the things I was into.

I can’t show you the inside but let me assure you the illustrations are gorgeous. The charcoal and green theme is fantastic.

We had a similar (but less intense) experience like this in Phnom Penh once.

Armored vehicles, troops, checkpoints, secret police. Hotel told us nothing and didn’t put newspapers out one morning. Ended up inside a tightening cordon of troops.

Finally a pizza guy told us to shelter at our hotel.

So stupid. And of course State Department evacuations have never been great, but hard to imagine that gutting State and having no plan in place isn’t playing into these issues in at least some way.

β€˜We want to go home’: Hongkongers trapped in Mideast call for more official help β€˜We hope the Hong Kong government can care more about Hongkongers stranded in Dubai, not just provide an emergency contact number,’ one person says.

Had a friend who was connecting through Dubai on the way back to HK andβ€”thank Godβ€”got stranded in the UK when his flight was cancelled before takeoff. Had he flown out a few hours earlier he might be one of these folks. www.scmp.com/news/hong-ko...

Somehow, in despite 10 years of increasingly deranged behavior from Trump and co, they find creative new ways to surprise me with their depravity.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

Yep! I wrote for visual media professionally and genuinely believe a grounding in newspaper comics is a great deal why.

Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, Tintin and The Far Side were a major part of my reading journey, so I’ve introduced my daughter to comics like Calvin and Hobbes to give her the same.

Except I forgot that she’d start to behave like Calvin. She woke me up Sunday by popping a paper bag above my head.

look, I've heard people claim that Al Gore would have invaded Iraq and that Hilary Clinton would have put anti-abortion justices on the Supreme Court. 'the imaginary version of the Democrats in my head' is always going to win for some people really committed to the 'both parties are the same' crap.

Part of the problem with Trump calling for Iranian dissidents to rise up with American support is that Trump’s admin has systematically betrayed former allies that did that, from the Kurds, to Afghan translators, to *Iranian dissidents* who had their asylum cancelled and were shipped back to die.

I cannot stress enough that another power - Russia - has been attempting to 'war crimes its way to victory' for *four years* now against a country less than a quarter of its size or economy and failing.

Applying violence with greater ruthlessness and fewer scruples is not the easy road to victory.

β€œWhat if we take an extreme action that only 22% of Americans support, do it badly, message it poorly, and helpe increase the prices that voters are already angry we’re not addressing? Oh, and take casualties. Surely people will love this, right?”

We moved abroad 13 years ago, during the Obama administration.

When Trump started his first term, friends flooded us with questions about moving abroad.

I said the same thing to all of them: β€œYou can’t move away from politics. Moving abroad just means being affected by politics in two countries.”

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"

Like if you are too young to remember, in the lead up to the Iraq War the Bush admin pursued a months-long media strategy to convince the public of the need for military action.

They lied and were wrong a lot (which was a major scandal) but they tried to build domestic and international support.
