youtu.be/lYCy3Rq8F-Y I really try not to be that type of film YouTuber who spends nearly a whole episode raging, but sometimes you get a movie like this that just really pisses you off on a primal level.

I have learned that this in fact is a prequel about a younger version of Mark Harmon's character from the main show.

What's next, CBS? CSI: The College Years? Blue Bloods Babies?

TIL that apparently there's a new NCIS spin-off called NCIS: Origins.

Well, new to me. I bet it's actually been around for 5 seasons already.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Well, this certainly would explain a lot of recent moves against Colbert and Kimmel...

Christian Conservatives will always opt to burn an entertainment genre to the ground if they can't do it themselves...

The Christian Right tried to make a late-night talk show—and it bombed spectacularly

Eric Metaxas and his backers spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to copy Fallon and Kimmel. They forgot to hire talent.

We had Angela Davis speak at my university a couple of years back. One of the many insightful things she said - protest in the way that aligns with your passion. If that’s poetry do poetry or music etc. Because then you will be able to sustain it. If naked bike rides are your passion, 100% do that.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 11h

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

"Positive feedback loop" just means a loop that is self-reinforcing and will amplify itself over time (as opposed to a "negative feedback loop" which is self-regulating and will tend towards a fixed level of activity over time). The terms don't imply if a feedback loop is 'good' or 'bad'

Nome @nome.bsky.social · 11h

What jargon does media get wrong in a way that's jarring for you?

"Stat" doesn't just means fast, it means "there is a life-threatening circumstance and I need this to solve it." Nothing in a morgue is 'stat,' just 'asap.'

On a ship, "aye" means "yes." "Aye-aye" means "heard, and I will comply."

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Sadly, it's probably going to work. She'll be able to play pro-Palestine voters the way Nixon was able to play anti-war voters in '68 and those of us who go "Hey, she's a Nazi who protects pedos 'til they decide not to back her Senate run, you can't trust her" will be accused of supporting genocide.

Also she’s not reliable on anything, it is clear that 1 reason she is acting the way she is, not just on Israel, these days is because she was not given the blessings or the job offers from the trump White House in the past year that she wanted

saw someone arguing that MTG's anti Israel noises suggest that she's a more reliable moral voice longterm than most centrist Ds, and...like, people really need to acknowledge just how antisemitic she is and what role that plays in her approach to Israel policy. 1

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

United States Congressman calls for the deportation of all Muslims from the US.

All Jewish groups should join together to denounce this.

Tweet from Congressman Randy Fine: "Muslims calling for the destruction of Israel — after the peace deal.

It was never about Gaza.

Why did the UK allow these demons in?

We must ban Sharia in the United States and deport them ALL before this becomes us.

Religion of peace."

Every time someone drops into my comments asking about a general strike, I have to remind folks that unlike in Europe we have at will employment here allowing essentially anyone to be fired at any time for any reason, and health insurance tied to employment.
