Yeah, Orwell said that. I think it's the opening line of his famed "Homage to Catatonia." In his first novel, "The Road To Cory's Leer," he also wrote, "Some things seem to look good from one end of the bar, but if you get close and there's just lip filler and hair extensions? Run the fuck away..."

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

Of course it's not about drugs, none of it is.

Agree, love watching Bublik.

He ought to know that. Stan Wawrinka is actually interesting to watch. Too bad he's aging out. Besides Roger Federer and John McEnroe one of the best one-handed back hands the world has ever seen. Too bad one-handed back hands have aged out as well.

THE most boring top player ever.

Alcaraz is way ahead of everyone else, including Sinner. Alcaraz has an entire suite of of perfectly executed drop-shots to accompany his 100 mph forehands, precision serve, and otherworldly angles. Thereby forcing his opponents to cover far more ground than anyone else. And he almost never misses.

Perhaps his way of longevity, not taking the tour so seriously. You're right, Bublik could beat anyone on a given day.

Good way to turn the whole country into hardliners chanting death to America.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Wouldn't put it past Trump to have started this war so he can relax his favorite shit-stained chair in Mar-A-Lago and watch it on television, just like he sat back and watched the insurrection on TV.

Reveals nothing.
Stephen Miller is still in charge of DHS and lCE. It will be Mullin that is 'just following orders'.

Dismay as Hegseth urges Latin American allies to join ‘offense’ against cartels Critics sceptical Pentagon chief’s plan for increased military force – amid rising US intervention – will stop drug gangs

"... Stephen Miller argued that drug cartels can only be defeated with military force."

Military force can't stop supply in a demand driven multi-billion dollar market -- supply always adapts.
No way this is really about drugs, even Miller cannot be this stupid.

And 165 non-artificial schoolchildren were blown up by all this advanced and precise targeting. Congrats to everyone involved on achieving this brave new world.

'Claude, Gemini, and ChatBT love nuclear weapons, war simulations reveal AI almost always uses them'

A's can't stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations

Some headlines that speak for themselves.

I enjoyed watching it because I was so much into tennis. You're right about the pushy father but that might have been good thing. He made sure they got all A's and did their homework before they played.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

I want to talk to Marylanders whose families are having trouble getting out of the Middle East, or who narrowly escaped, for a @thebaltimorebanner.com column. Mine was trapped in Riyadh in the 80s, but there was no war. It's frightening. Please tell me your stories.

We have not yet seen the full scope of unintended consequences.

Bush 2 did not help by putting Paul Bremer in charge 'postwar reconstruction'.
Bremer disbanded the Iraqi Army of 400,000 trained soldiers armed to the teeth, so they had no paychecks. We both know what happened next.

Starting another war in the Middle East is past insane.

Right -- sometimes in tennis a player will convince themself they've already won and subconsciously let up just enough so that they don't.
May or may not be the case. That's why it's so important to take one point at a time. Easy to say, hard to do.

This expression, worn by an ordinary, sentient soul, translates precisely to "what the fuck did I do?" On this pouting, perpetually aggrieved manchild, devoid of even a shard of self-awareness, we cannot credit the moment as such.

Chimps' love for crystals could help us understand our own ancestors' fascination with these stones Crystals have repeatedly been found at archaeological sites alongside Homo remains. Evidence shows that hominins have been collecting these stones for as long as 780,000 years. Yet, we know that our a...

"We were pleasantly surprised by how strong and seemingly natural the chimpanzees' attraction to crystals was. This suggests that sensitivity to such objects may have deep evolutionary roots."

"Yvan then picked up the crystal and decisively carried it to the dormitories."

Backed by Christian nationalist fracking billionaires Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks, Paxton will step on any toe, break open any door, and ignore any rule to win.

Doesn't matter, the trick is to beat the Republicans. Ken Paxton and John Cornyn are white supremacy personified.

A Pair of Billionaire Preachers Built the Most Powerful Political Machine in Texas. That’s Just the Start. Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks are poised to take their Christian nationalist agenda nationwide.

Hope to God Talarico defeats whoever wins the Paxton/Cornyn -- both of whom are backed by Christian nationalist fracking billionaires Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks. Both extremists.
