Apophatically

My supervisor would have written me up for doing that. In the academy we spent a whole day listening to 911 operators being jerks like this and were told to never do that. I should suggest they add scenes from this film for what not to do.

What's really frustrating is so many people call us thinking we're actually police officers so I blame this movie for perpetuating that belief

As a former 911 operator having watched the first 20 minutes of this film I can confirm he would have been escorted out of the building

The Brits have recreated Children of Men from the book Don't Do Children of Men

It looks like they told AI to mash up Star Trek & Riverdale

This is accurate as this is also me

I cowrote an essay in a book being published by an academic press that is coming out soon. I just got a mass mailer advertisement about a Christmas sale from that academic press. They added my name to their mailing list.

I'm only 71

This is Baby Yoda all over again

You can take the idiot out of the Apartheid state but you can't stop him trying to recreate it

It was the most Christian film I have watched in a long time

This is some real 4e erasure, the best version of the game

Does she think the War on Drugs is an actual war?

I recently learned that the city I was born in is now a free economic zone where billionaires hide their art to avoid paying taxes

This reminds me of when Mayor Pete said that weapons of war should be used overseas but not at home. Our chickens always come home to roost. Violence here or overseas should be unacceptable and a tragedy.

Is that actually a key rule in most law enforcement agencies? Because USA Today had a story back in 2020 that 35 out of 50 states didn't have a rule forbidding officers from having sex with detainees.

Law enforcement

I think if you consider D&D and most other fantasy novels to be an outgrowth of LOTR it at least spawned a genre. But I was playing a fantasy board game recently with lots of art and several pieces were direct homages to LOTR.

I saw this image at a friend's house and I'm super confused as to what the knight is doing. He appears to be charging but is headed away from the dragons?

As soon as I finished Andor I went back and watched Rogue One, it did not hold up well or compare favorably to the show. Which I get that shows are doing different things. But also it's a better film than most Star Wars films.

I was on the fence about seeing Badlands in theaters but I will go now so I can listen to the episode informed

I bought the book and I don't even like 5e

I said to a friend that is happiest, most alert, and articulate I've seen Trump in ages

Stephen Miller must be livid

This plus Trump's concerns about getting into Heaven make me think that Trump does actually want to do good things but is constantly letting the passions control him.

Whereas Vance and Stephen Miller have somehow made peace with the fact that they will never see the face of God.

Two, you're not thinking big enough. They could have a set up of a dozen web cameras and they enter their judgements simultaneously (I mean they're just going to say deport them)

As a 911 dispatcher can you please request that they stay on and say it was a misdial? Otherwise we have to call you back.
