It's very telling that the bulk of the eponymous superhero team is made up of soldiers and assassins, many of whom are officially state-sanctioned murderers.

These... are our heroes? These are the people we venerate?

Story idea:
When the value of gold takes a surprising drop, an ancient dragon rouses from a deep slumber to learn his horde of gold is now worth nothing.

Forced with potential eviction from his cave, he has to get a job at an upscale, casual, island-themed clothing store.

Title:
Tommy Bahamut

So take a police force and arrest the people who are breaking laws and go into the facility. This is not rocket science!

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Billionaire money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

"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.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

There will be those who will once again council empty reconciliation with Republicans, on the grounds that “we need to be better than them.”

But here’s the thing: we ARE better than them. Much better than them. Everyone is far far far better than them. That’s why they all need to go to prison.

Everybody who pushed Democrats to be more aggressive after the insurrection was right. Listen to them next time (if there is a next time).

Jenna would make Liz write jokes for her, Liz would write a bunch of feminist material because she’s mad at Jenna and then try to pull it at the last minute because she’s worried for Jenna’s safety. Jenna would ham it up so hard that the Saudis would love it as parody of shrill American women

See how Israel gets to have ‘families’ and Gazans get to be generically referred to as ‘people’.

✡️Tribe, gather 'round for a #Jwitter (z''l) / #Jewsky Aggadah concerning Spanish Frogs 🐸:

A certain man Yirmeyahu asked, "What's the name for frogs in Shemot?" Raz answered and said, "They're different," referring to Spaniards (ספרדים) and frogs (צפרדעים). For Yirmeyahu said, "They are the same."
