My wife pointed out that Tom Brady's shift to the talking head role highlights how he is, in fact, Max Headroom, and now I can't unsee it.

so Trump's gestapo is snatching people with Real IDs or US passports then?
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Another banger from Lisa Needham.
"The administration genuinely seems to believe it can pull back from the world stage yet somehow still tell the rest of the world what to do. And it has a very firm idea of what it wants Europe to do, which is 'be as racist and xenophobic as Donald Trump.'" — @snipy.bsky.social

The 2002 movie Ghost Ship would be improved by cutting the opening scene where they preview the passengers & crew being sliced in half by the cable.
That way you have the added suspense of figuring out why the ship is full of ghosts in the first place. Saw it that way by accident the first time.

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."
