Sure, if they are the ones being targeted and drawing fire, why not have more on street?

Scion who was fatally shot by police is honored by billionaire family in bizarre obituary
As recently as two weeks before the deadly shooting, his wife, Tabitha Lindner, warned authorities that her husband’s mental health was rapidly declining in filings for a protective order.

@itschristmastown.bsky.social @mobute.bsky.social @davidjroth.bsky.social No matter how bad this upcoming weekend could get for you, you can be thankful that you will still be better off than at least 4 people.
Did find one showing that had multiple seats sold and pretty sure, "Seeing Candace Cameron Bure TV movie, in a theater, alone, on Thanksgiving weekend," might be a sadder one-sentence story than, "for sale, baby shoes, never worn."

Please, I want every elected Dem and those thinking of running to read this, understand what it is saying, and then think about how to make it better.
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

Watching these people in real-time trying to square the circle of “high beef prices good for farmers” vs “we need to lower beef prices for consumers” would be hilarious if they weren’t, in fact, in charge of economic policy and the entire government.
Brooke Rollins on spiking beef prices in November 2025: "There's a lot of reasons for that. The Biden-Harris administration had a war on cattle because they talked about climate change and cattle, um -- it was crazy."

Is auto-correct localized to nations? Because I just had it change Kieron into Morton and that’s gotta be annoying for Irish users.

The worst thing about this is is no matter how good this will be artistically, there is going to be weeks of inane culture war coverage about this once it’s released. Stories of MAGA heads lining up for midnight shows. On the ground reporting from Midwestern theaters, etc etc …
Paramount is in talks to distribute Rush Hour 4 after President Trump reportedly lobbied Larry Ellison, the father of Paramount CEO David Ellison, to revive the action-comedy franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter

Ok what the fuck? I listen to three different history podcasts and two just dropped episodes on Disney today, and one did a multi-part series on Disney two weeks ago.
Is Disney flooding history podcasts with cash to generate positive SEO?!?

Black Mirror is a dividing line for viewers and Kinnear. Once you see it, you can never unsee it. He is always that character. He shows up in the Daniel Craig Bond films and I’m like, “Hellooo Prime Minister!”
I choose to believe that the British PM Rory Kinnear plays in The Diplomat is the same one he played in the first episode of Black Mirror.

National Guard are still in DC by the way. I see them every time I’m on U Street. Lincoln Park daily. I counted over a dozen on Barracks Row Saturday night. In response to this ongoing affront to justice and democracy, the Washington Post editorial board has taken a firm stance against hand dryers.

I think the reason the GOP does not have a healthcare plan is because they don’t know what currrent state is or how it works.
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."
