I was afraid that would be the answer (that LEGO is correct). And I agree with your secondary point.

my god. this has to stop, this all has to stop. we are in the clutches of actual monsters.

Asking for a student: According to LEGO, the brand name should always be ALL-CAPS. On the official site — thelegomovie.com — they capitalize it: The LEGO Movie. But neither IMDB nor Wikipedia can be bothered to capitalize it. In an academic essay, I assume it should be capitalized. Yes?

I've never imagined an Olivia Rodrigo / Magnetic Fields connection, but the world is a now a better place for it.

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

A group of 15 servicemembers say their commander told them: “Trump has been annointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran that will cause Armageddon.” That’s just one of dozens of similar complaints. Holy shit. WHERE IS THIS STORY IN THE U. S. PRESS?

Somebody recruit Martin Stillion for a career in continuity editing. He does not miss.

Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.

Trump and Hegseth know exactly what happened with the bombing of the girls school. This “investigation” is a smoke screen because they know the attention span of our media cycles, so they will drag it out until they stop getting asked about it. Which is usually 48 hours or so.

Former President Barack Obama on Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"He was talking about everyone who was left out, everyone who was forgotten, everyone who was unseen, everyone who was unheard, and in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be."

Preach!

We used to have a real President. A President with a conscience. A President we could respect. A President who didn't need to lie, cheat, and steal awards, but who earned them with integrity and vision and service.

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

Amen!

I hope some of you find this thread useful. I did not enjoy putting it together.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven. On that day many will say, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not [KILL 170 LITTLE GIRLS ATTENDING SCHOOL IN IRAN] in your name?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you who behave lawlessly.’" (Matthew 7.)

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

The Trad Hoe’s Dilemma The Spectacular Collapse of Sarah Stock, the Right’s Favorite Virgin Bride
