I am not saying our decision to cover the new Goosebumps series *caused* it's cancellation, but I am saying this episode is, in a way, the innocent flapping of butterfly wings which minutely altered the shape of reality just so.

For a variety of reasons, good and bad, I've had the benefit of very low student loan payments for quite some time. After a year, my servicer finally got around to updating my income driven plan and boy it is not a good feeling when your payments go up 500%.

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

It is frankly strange to be this obsessed with college if you no longer attend one and do not work in education. More people in legacy media need to be told that.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Tbh this is why I'm for the total abolition of esports. When we start treating video games like a sporting event, we get the corrupt culture of one. The future of fighting games are with the fu/himejoshis. Not in a sports arena

The really interesting thing about the Child's Play franchise is that, aside from a dud or too, it actually has managed to stay all around pretty fresh even up through it's recent TV series. It's a rare long running horror franchise that's kept it up.
