Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.

Reminder that "firing on the shipwrecked" is literally THE example used in the DoD War Manual of "a clearly illegal order"
“Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing that Hegseth authorized Adm. Frank Bradley to carry out the second strike, which reportedly killed two people who were hanging onto the burning vessel after an initial strike.” Wow. 12/1/25 thehill.com/homenews/562...

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

I love how this and Dorris Ranch are showing that you can combine nature preservation with a historically significant agricultural crop. I hope more filbert partnerships pop up in the McKenzie / Willamette region.
In October, the board of the Upper Willamette Soil and Water Conservation District unanimously approved a purchase agreement for what’s known as the Rice Farm in Springfield.

Okay, Strange New Worlds separating the eventual TOS crewmembers onto the Farragut with Kirk in S3E6 is pretty clever.

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Was really hoping the Sliver talk meant the plea was for Tom Berenger to be in Knives Out 4
Always a good convo with Mike. Lots of Sliver (1993) content.
I spoke to Rian Johnson about WAKE UP DEAD MAN. He tells the story about how Daniel Craig was almost not Benoit Blanc. How Craig will always play Benoit Blanc in future movies. And he makes a personal plea to an Oscar winning actor to be in Knives Out 4. www.indiewire.com/features/int...

love that the Falcons website really goes out of its way to emphasize that Lil' Fred, their small mascot, is NOT the son of Freddie Falcon, they just look identical, act the same, and have all the same interests

Haven't watched in a long while, but I secretly love the mess that is Southland Tales. It's a huge swing and miss, but very watchable. We need more of those.

Not to lay my cards on the table but I think this narrow focus in online discourse on who deserves to be rewarded really elides the actual societal value of the education system (teaching members of society important stuff that it's valuable for them to know)
