I stopped watching STRANGER THINGS in furious anger when they showed a videogame leaderboard for DIG DUG that displayed the 7 character name MAD MAX.(6 letters & a space)
"This is BULLSHIT!" I yelled, like a nerd. "Dig Dig only had 3 character initials for the leaderboard. Fuck this show." True!

Trump was gleeful that the National Guardsman were attacked, he’s been trying to place them in harms way for months for his cheap theatrics. For him it was opportune that military personnel would come under fire as a growing number of US veterans are becoming vocal against him.

So I found out what Facebook still will penalize you for. This is a response to a guy posting a huge incel diatribe about a new female writer on DAREDEVIL, making insane assumptions about "woke" and "DEI" & going on about how Daredevil is a "conservative" character. My response got a 2 day ban.

“You’re wonderful so far” in “For the Longest Time” by Billy Joel is exactly the lyric you’d expect to sing to your future ex-wife at the onset of your relationship.

@debbieohi.com : I only just-just started playing it (like, an hour), but already D&D:BATTLEMARK using the Demeo engine is a lot more friendly & engaging than Demeo, with more story-based encounters & set-piece battles rather than that all-out Demeo blitz.

What manner of mass hypnosis/social contagion has seen everyone making videos in the last few months suddenly all gesture the same way with this "fingers-to-thumb-pincer-move" thing as they talk?It's so weird. Nobody used to do this, now everyone does this.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Today’s Bloomberg bombshell: leaked chats show how a so-called ‘US envoy’ #Witkoff conspired with Russian war criminals to trick everyone into thinking a #Kremlin-made ‘peace’ deal was a White House idea. 🕵️♂️💬 Yes, it proves Russia fears more sanctions on #Rosneft and #Lukoil.

Having had run-ins with the law as a rebellious teen, I think I'm familiar with the "Nolle;" this means that IF YOU DON'T GET CHARGED AGAIN ON ANY OTHER thing in the next 6 months, it goes away, but if you do, they're still holding it open to re-prosecute, no?

The character of Little Bunny Foo-Foo, when examined, is really dark & disturbing. Imagine the logistical reality of just RUNNING through a forest, randomly scooping up field mice only to bop them on the head and toss them aside. Insane behavior. Bunnies are herbivores; this is just wanton cruelty.

They're all fascinating episodes, but this was a REALLY fascinating episode, jam-packed with lore.

Maybe a lovely book is more your speed? Something for the fantasy lover in your family or friend group. I have books about enchanted forests, witches and cheeky little monsters!
This was my first Kickstarter project - 'Strangehollow', a vast enchanted forest!

imagine paying top dollar for a professional manicure and the sassy old bag sarcastically tells you you've been soaking in cheap Palmolive dish-soap this whole time?

same. And the gleeful participation in it by "salt of the earth" family: Arendt nailed it.
No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

I miss my dad in general, like, as a kind of white-noise in the background of life, but Thanksgiving is the one where the sound of the missing rises up so I can *hear it*; the lead up to it, the day of-- it's where I'm *actively aware* of his absence, if that makes sense?

There's no mystery-- broken people are also turned on by serial killers or mass shooters. Boundary-overstepping without remorse signals "excitement/sex" to some seemingly normal presenting folks who have damaged relationship lives.
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.
