For some reason this reminds me the line delivered by Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack: "Oh, but it looks good on you though!"

What would Rodney say about the cosplaying Secretary?

Who knows if she will even be a minor character in a couple of years, and whether or not she’s even remotely part of the conversation. It’s the firm of Duey, Cheetham, and Howe at the DOJ and one might predict a revolving door over the coming months and years (shudder).

She knows. I'm more interested in the personal calculus she used to arrive at: 'whatever happens in the next few years is worth a lifetime of humiliation'. I suppose her track record in FL is telling; I haven't read accounts of her service that speak in glowing terms of her legal mastery, lol.

This woman's personal and professional reputations are in tatters. It's hard to imagine her life after Trump. Probably a source of great anxiety...

The systematic dismantling of the 4th estate by the techno feudalists is so graphic and disturbing I am compelled to turn my head and look away from time to time. It’s like going through a morgue book to identify a missing person.

When the hunter becomes the hunted.

Some very bright PhD candidates will soon be writing dissertations about how the electorates from 1930 to 1950, and 2000-2025 were similarly conditioned to authoritarianism through the attempted manipulation and control of media.

PS - the media and people always win when we are underestimated.

Off topic alert.

When I saw Narcan on the list it suddenly hit me: not only have we all turned into the product that drives the tech feudalist's economic engine, but those battling addiction have been turned into another type of consumer. Addicts consume their own despair to keep them distracted.

Reporter: "Aren't you being a shrill nut job?"

Miller: "No! I'm the shrillest nut job. I'm redefining nut job. I'm weaponizing mental illness."

Reporter: silence

Miller: "Yeah, that's what I thought!"

Reporter: "I didn't say anything."

Miller: "Exactly, you better not say anything! Fake News!"

This is an astonishing war. Most Americans don't understand how different it is. No laser guided bombs or space weapons; instead it's 500cc motorcycle engines strapped with wings and cell phone GPS carrying conventional explosives for HOURS - up to 9 hours in some cases to reach their targets.

Intolerance On Westerns in general, John Ford’s in particular, and why Quentin Tarantino shouldn’t teach film history

Another good essay: www.filmcomment.com/article/into...

Our first sex offender president. These really are magical times we are living in...

A fucking quack. 'Move along, this is not the medical advice we're looking for...'

Shame on anyone who reposts these terrifying images of human depravity and violence!

Less tongue-in-cheek, would a better understanding of these principles lead to refined flight control surfaces or materials discoveries that might help reduce risks during max Q events?

If there are errors, and somehow we managed to fix those errors, what does that mean for the science of fluid dynamics.

And, is there any chance that once we find the 'fix' that will hasten delivery of my George Jetson foldable flying car?

Good point. My 'bias' is my child who luckily found a research role in industry (2nd choice). PhD programs are halving or more their incoming candidates of '26-'27 - he's been advised it's not worth applying and to wait a year or more.

I hope reason somehow grips the nation in November '26.

Imagine being the parent of a child dreaming of a career in research while finishing an undergraduate or graduate degree right now. Watching the look on that young person's face as their future is potentially thrown into chaos by the president of the United States and his cast of unqualified morons.

This should happen EVERY SINGLE TIME ICE tries to abduct someone.

PS - the movie premiere I attended where I met Ms. LeBrock was NOT for Weird Science. That would have been awesome!

Tell me you know you are losing, without telling me...

I did wonder at the time what she was doing with the Seagul guy. He scowled the whole evening and was generally a dark vibe.

Met her once. She had skin like porcelain. It was otherworldly, and extremely beautiful.

Sometimes I think about how from 1935-1975ish, Bell Labs produced an insane amount of revolutionary science and technology, including 11 Nobel Prizes, the transistor, UNIX, C, the laser, the solar cell, information theory, etc. The secret? Provide scientists with ample, steady, no-strings funding.

Brilliant brand execution at the Singapore GP this weekend. F1TV-branded 'glowing orbs selfie lights line the paddock at one of the only F1 events held at night.

The effect is clear. By providing beautiful, soft light for patrons in the paddock all of the their photos look fantastic online!

Had a great day following Michael Furman during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance!

Make sure to leave in the "off" position for at least 30 seconds to make sure the racist kernel resets.

Ummm, that's assault.

Heads up, lawsuit incoming...

Would they be wearing full face masks if they didn't think their friends and neighbors would think differently about them if they were caught on camera zip tying a child, or pushing a nurse to the ground in a hospital hallway?

SOMETHING must cause them shame - assuming they are human.

Not yet, but after reading the news this morning it sounds like a heck of a plan.
