Die Hard is not A christmas movie, for the last 35 years it has been at least TWO Christmas movies.
The third one broke the pattern and after that it's unclear what happened, every one stopped watching when the "I'm a Mac" kid tried to do the comedy instead of being John Hodgman's straight man.

To be clear hegseth killed those fishermen in self defense, if they had gotten to the US* with the amount of drugs they (allegedly) had, hegseth (the "self" in self defense) would have had no choice but to do ALL the (alleged) drugs until he was dead.

It was bad enough when we gave them publicly funded stadiums, and non-profit status, but why did we give them the power of conscription!?!

Saw Wicked II with wife this afternoon (after she watched Wicked I this morning)
The movie could have spent more time showing us Jeff Goldblum excitedly playing with model trains.
Also they had a robust rail system & were restricting travel for fascism, why build a road for decentralized travel?

So have we normalize court orders telling police they need to not target journalists with "less than lethal" weapons?
And if so can we normalize some sort of "right to assembly" where police can't shoot/gas people who assemble?

You know what having a monopoly on oil would get us? Every country making a bigger effort to switch to renewables. OPEC already taught us that lesson.
If there are cheaper alternatives (like Chinese solar panels) people will buy those instead.
