Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Telling all the Republicans I know that the election has been delayed until Thursday so Dick Cheney can be mourned properly

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

There are theories that our universe is just one of many. In some of these theories, those universes are not dissimilar to our own and there may be millions of each of spread out over the multiversal cosmos.

In none of those universes is Johnny Cash "uncool". Not even a little.

Buckaroo Banzai was supposed to battle the World Crime League, someone pulled the plug, now look where we are.

"Stardate: 56844.9. I have just taken command of the USS Cockfield, a Regency Class vessel. Despite my best attempts across the whole crew, I have yet to determine the correct pronunciation of the ship's name"

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

Read they may reboot Indiana Jones, want lightning to strike twice.
The people who will try will look only at Indiana Jones.

The people who did it the first time understood Allan Quartermain, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Humphrey Bogart, Sherlock Holmes, WWII, Universal's Mummy, Lawrence of Arabia, etc.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel

(No Stunt Man gif, so here's Part 2 of the O'Toole Career Revival. Both apply.)

Nine year old me thought Dave Parker was the coolest dude to ever play baseball and it turns out that kid was correct

BREAKING: Lydia Tar wins democratic primary after mix-up between NYT Film ranking, polling stations.

Once again, you'll notice Cuomo's picture is not in this thread. Because he doesn't live in NYC and you don't see him walking around or doing public events like this.

Vote for Mamdani or Lander and three of the other non-Cuomo candidates. Those folks actually live here and love the city.

Cuomo absolutely will not be for us. You'll never see him in real life. He'll be indoors with billionaires, not out on the street with you and me.

#NoCuomo #NeverCuomo

Had a couple of folk say they wanted to make comics but couldn’t draw well enough. So PSA: if you make the thing, you get better at the drawing (and the writing) in the process of making the thing. And then the next one is a bit better, and so on and so forth. Making “crap” stuff is allowed.

We've got Wonder Woman.

1. Rank Zohran somewhere. Fifth is fine. Anywhere you like.

2.Don’t rank Cuomo.

That’s it.

Fight the Empire.

This was a fun one, especially given my love for "The Untouchables" movie.

My twisted brain immediately saw this as Matt Smith in front, and Peter Capaldi on the back. (It's the hat, and, yeah, bow ties are cool.)

Amazing! My main preview memory was an article in one of those 'Coming Soon' lobby magazines. But sans John Williams and with portentous 'Important Movie' voiceover, this would have reinforced my presumption of yet another mediocre 70s sci-fi flick that wasn't going to hold a candle to 2001.
