Man in worn clothing with a black eye holding a wooden sign labeled "UNION" in the foreground, with Mega Man, a cartoon character in a blue futuristic suit and helmet posing aggressively after having punched the man in the background inside a recording studio.

. @capcomusa.com disappoints. They really should just make all their roles union.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?

BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!

K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?

B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Does he mean he will go to war with the country he went to war with like 10 days ago if they do something he doesn’t like?

Such threatening, much scary.

Working with an #acting #coaching client and had them try a rehearsal technique that was new to them on one of the later takes. Suddenly, the emotional distance between them and the other character changed, a vulnerability emerged and it was beautiful to see. We may keep parts for performance.

Sonnet 059 - LIX
If there be nothing new, but that which is
Hath been before, how are our brains beguil'd,
Which labouring for invention bear amiss
The second burthen of a former child.
Oh that record could with a backward look,
Even of five hundred courses of the sun,
Show me your image in some […]

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

Scientific Shot of a Peacock mantis shrimp eyes which are the most advanced in the animal world. Photo by Daniel Sasse.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.

the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

How can I then return in happy plight,
That am debarred the benefit of rest?
When day's oppression is not eas'd by night,
But day by night and night by day oppress'd,
And each, though enemies to either's reign,
Do in consent shake hands to torture me,
The one by toil, the […]

A blackboard outside a shop on a sidewalk paved with brick. On the blackboard someone has written "I was told there would ba a handbasket." For anyone unfamiliar with the idiom, there's a common expression about things "Going to hell in a handbasket," meaning that they're turning bad very quickly.

No need for further comment...

If someone threatens to do something for 47 years in a row and doesn’t in fact do it, they might be more bark than bite.

Just saying.
