The distrust of government the right hoped to instill in Americans in order to take power is really a case of Telling On Yourself.
News: The top-secret whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

And Horner had a rep as a creep well before this. Marrying a 19 year-old-student when he was 65, then treating it as some kind of joke or unserious. Women MSU students who told me they were interested in paleo, until their interactions with him. Not to mention how got his fame by claim jumping.
For people outside of paleontology:
This senior paleontologist, who married a 19-year-old, visited a convicted pedophile in 2012 & 2016. Is beefing over a conference argument from 13 years ago, angry because he was banned from a family-friendly event across the Atlantic. The level of petty.

Have we, perhaps, decided collectively to simply assume Elon Musk is a) completely full of shit and also b) sort of a genius at convincing a small, gullible subset of humanity that he is a genius?
Elon Musk on Sunday said that SpaceX will prioritize establishing a “self-growing city” on the moon over and above his long-stated ambition to settle Mars
Elon Musk says SpaceX to prioritize cities on the moon instead of Mars
Focusing on lunar cities ahead of building a Mars colony represents a significant shift in Elon Musk’s space exploration ambitions

The same people calling last night’s game “the worst Super Bowl” or just “a really bad football game” either don’t watch a lot of football or would say of a 42-38 game “no one plays defense any more.”
If the game looked sloppy to you, it is because you don’t appreciate tough defense, imho.

I’m making my most ambitious piece of #dinosaur art ever, and in doing so, I’ve drawn and re-drawn and re-re-re-re-drawn the first two of six dinos featured. It’s been a frustrating-yet-invigorating practice.

Pats brought Thayer Munford on the field for one snap in the first quarter as a sixth offensive lineman, picked up 21 yards, and then never used a sixth lineman again the rest of the game.
The NE offensive game plan was puzzling. 79.1% of snaps in 11 personnel. No game over 70% in regular season. Got dime 53% of the time but still couldn't run.
Zero snaps in empty to try to spread the Seahawks out. Season-low in 21 personnel, 1.5%. One snap in Jumbo.
Just let Seattle play its game.

I’m about to undertake an ankylosaur for a piece I’m working on, and whoo boy, deciding on how to approach the beastie is daunting.

It was a nice little fantasy while it lasted.
The child to whom Bad Bunny handed a Grammy Award during his Super Bowl halftime performance was an actor, not the 5-year-old boy who was detained as part of a recent immigration operation in Minnesota, two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed on Sunday.
The Child in Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show Was an Actor
There was much speculation about the boy’s identity. The young actor posted on social media about his experience as part of Bad Bunny’s performance.

The couple married on the field during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show had invited the Puerto Rican singer to their wedding, but instead received an invitation to appear onstage with him. Bad Bunny served as a witness and signed the couple's marriage certificate.

I tell people who only casually follow football that the secret of the game, particularly in college and the pros, is offensive linemen are the most important players in the field.

Did Bad Bunny just give his Grammy to Liam Conejo Ramos the poor kid who was kidnapped by ICE? If so amazing
The sign beforehand said "Conejo" on it too
