"If it was just me, I would move the company out of NYC because I hate this guy so much…But I won't because there's a lot of people in New York, and I don't want to change their lifestyle for it."

Sooooo... what is the journalistic merit of this story? The HL should be "Guy Has Random Thought"

Oh yeah. Albert Ruddy was working at RAND as a computer programmer, decided it would be easier to make money in Hollywood, pitched Hogan's Heroes, and the rest is history. Paramount made a whole miniseries about the making of the Godfather called The Offer. Miles Teller plays Ruddy.

Wait until you tell them that its success led directly to getting the film adaptation of Puzo's The Godfather made.

So Trump doesn’t know who he’s pardoning? Sounds like this ought to be a major congressional investigation.

The famous plains of Gallipoli!

My musical hill-to-die-on is that all kids shd begin on either drums (bc all instruments are rhythm instruments) or piano/guitar (to learn chord structure from the beginning). But as a bassist, I humbly suggest you consider the bass. Super hard to master, but easy to pick up & play along quickly.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

Ireland has an air force? I had no idea.

I thought you were going to post Nettles in 78 in the one game playoff catching the final out in foul territory.

“(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.“

Flag code, as quoted here:

I know this is beside the point, but his style drives me nuts. In addition to being a walking flag code violation, his tailoring choices would seem too heavy handed if a costume designer had dressed him like this to signify "unfit," "unserious," and "clueless."

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

Idk, I just modded a bass to be two-stringed and tuned in fifths so I can play slide bass over Morphine albums, and it's made me very happy, in a melancholy minimalist sort of way.

He was my doctoral advisor and a wonderful human being. If you haven’t read A World
Of Their Own Making, you should. For me, it’s his most important work, and is the culmination of the first four monographs.
