Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

We are in an interstitial period where the networks and institutions that once sustained the social order and facilitated shame have collapsed. Everything is up in the air for now though I think it will eventually stabilize. Durkheim's "anomie" feels like an appropriate description of right now.

Hegseth: "You would think the Pentagon press corps would be front and center across the board on wanting to give credit to the president for forging this type of peace. Instead, what they want to take about is a policy about them."

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.

E.T. Adventure poster, 1990. I still have one of these hanging in my childhood bedroom.

Star Wars Special edition triptych, 1997. I remember seeing all of these in the paper as each film was re-released and just felt a burst of energy those mornings.

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

*Remember Miller's sprayed-on hair fiasco? Jesus what an asshole.

Left: Bald and glorious Jean-Luc Picard looking handsome as hell. "Dignified, majestic."

Right: Stephen Miller, Satan's own polyp, with atrocious sprayed-on hair during a press interview. It's OK to feel confident with faux hair, all the power to you (I'm balding too!), just don't be caught doing it up like a Halloween costume while *also* being a racist ghoul. "graceless loser shit"
