I have kept waiting for Ms Rachel to be accused of something more than making videos where she says things like “all kids should be safe and happy” but uh I guess that’s the controversy?

This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

"No, Your Honor, you can't convict me of manslaughter because I planned to kill them."
Fox News legal contributor Andy McCarthy knocks down Hegseth's defense:
"Neither Hegseth’s statement nor the explanation attributed to Bradley ... makes legal sense.
...
It cannot be a defense to say, as Hegseth does, that one has killed because one’s objective was 'lethal, kinetic strikes.'"

IMPORTANT: “I boarded Montreal’s brand-new light metro line for its first voyage. From the front of the driverless train, the crowd got a privileged view…The journey was not just a tour of the REM’s 14 new stations, however—it was a preview of the most ambitious transit expansion in North America.”

I am excited for the day that Lionel Ritchie's "Dancing on the Ceiling" is a rebel anthem.
"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer
