Pete should be renamed Macavity because it looks like he’s going to break every human law.
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

I think “No Other Choice,” (2025 Dir. Park Chan-wook) would have worked better if it was set in the high stakes world of tuba auditions, rather than paper companies.

This entire conversation is the hardest I’ve laughed at anything in the past 5 years
YOU - I'm once again reminded of how Contact Mike rose from the slums of Saint-Batiste to the top of the boxing world, overcoming adversity and serious brain trauma. Nothing is coming -- nothing he wouldn't knock out in three rounds. The real fight is for the right attitude.
