Just saw the trailer for Wuthering Heights, which seems to focus entirely on the two lead actors. It’s been a long time since I read the book, but based on what I recall I don’t understand how you make it a two-hander???

as upsetting as this is, we have no historical evidence that Ben Franklin would even comprehend what you meant if you gave him a thumbs up.

Why is it that EVERY TIME I open a document in Acrobat, I have to x-out of a pop-up offering to summarize it with AI?
Why is there no “never show this bullshit again” button?
Why is there no “FUCK YOU” button??????

He started getting, what do they call it?" He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press secretary for the word that escaped him.
"Alzheimer's," Leavitt said.

If I ever get murdered by ICE, I know much of BlueSky will be loath to defend me once the news reports on my many speeding tickets. But I want it noted that I got a zillion speeding tickets *in my twenties*, and that as a 40-something lawyer I drive as slow as the rest of you nerds.

A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.

My guess is that in the crazy upside-down world we live in now, every murder by ICE makes additional murders by ICE more likely. These guys are feeling more and more beleaguered AND more immune from consequences with each new violent incident.

This is one of those things that in another administration couldve been a months long scandal if the media wanted it to be. call it AgentGate. What did Bondi know and when did she know it? Weeks of opinion pieces etc etc.
Breaking NYT:
The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Hooooly shit. This really drives home how much damage the imbecile has already done.
Good boy, Trumpushka! On Kremlin TV yesterday evening, commentators are besides themselves with glee over how Trump is systematically denigrating and attacking all US allies as he praises and stands beside Vladimir Putin. youtu.be/8c-qYO4Roa0?...
