Our feckless national media doesn't like ongoing situations, they like stories that wrap up with a nice little bow and a lesson learned, which is the story Homan fed them.
Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

71,000 dead and here in America our politicians and cops were siding with the murderous regime and expelling students from their universities. a stain that I hope future historians will contextualize for the evil it is.
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!

I wonder if Darren Aranofsky has previously made any art specifically about surrendering your human ingenuity and passion in favor of a cold and soulless substitute which offers a supposed shortcut to success under the pressures of American life.

Incredible headshots all around. Love that Patrick Stewart's photo is just him as Gurney Halleck. Kinda wish they were all doing that thing with their hands that Gates McFadden is doing.

Remember that TNG episode where Wesley is like "a Federation-funded genocide is better than a Romulan-funded genocide. There is no other option in this scenario."
And Picard pats him on the back and says, "Well said, Wesley. Leadership also means never taking responsibility. Welcome to Section 31!"

But they had something to vote for, it was and is called 250 years of flawed American Democracy.
They demanded a pony, and when they didn't get one, they had a tantrum, and now we are all suffering. Of course I will blame them. They failed the easiest open book civics test in history.

I dressed as Dilbert for halloween and lost my town's costume contest to a girl dressed as the Big Comfy Couch who the judges thought was a pumpkin.
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job

I love throw my paper recycling into 2 inches of standing water alongside my neighbors' soiled takeout containers and broken furniture. I'm sure it will all be turned into eco-friendly toilet paper and not just dumped on a beach in the Philippines.
