I see Penn State is playing Michigan State tomorrow. I don't know who to root for, the school that covered up for a pedophile or the other school that covered up for a pedophile.

Let down by so many institutions that covered up for pedophiles, ephebophiles, and other sexual predators is depressing.

The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.
Congrats again, everyone

Take a cue from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (also by Fleming) and start the new movie establishing the previous movie as a story a now elderly Bond is telling his grandkids. They ask some questions about him not dying and he responds with another story, cue new movie.

Less James Bond. More Jackson Lamb!
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

On November 10, 1898, a shocking coup was executed in Wilmington, North Carolina, as white mobs led by former Confederate Col. Alfred Moore Waddell overthrew the city’s elected biracial government and massacred 60 or more Black people.

Sooooo, Lewis Strauss was right but solar not nuckuler.
I mean, it ain't utopia but it feels like something that might be in roughy the same direction so WHY NOT THIS? WHY FUCKING AI?
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

I know I am screaming into the wind, but our branches of government are not supposed to trust each other. Our entire system is based on the assumption that no one can be trusted and our institutions are supposed to be in each other's business.

There are 37 donors funding the $300 million build of the new White House ballroom.
Unsurprisingly, Amazon is on that list. But you know who isn’t? Independent bookstores.
And this is why it will *always* be bookstores over billionaires. ✊

The Louse that Roared
Trump has done what the British did to Washington in 1814, has depicted himself doing what Japan in 1941 did to Pearl Harbor, and has demanded we pay him wartime reparations.
He is at war with the United States—with all of us.

Inbox fatberg or iFatberg
From Merriam-Webster
Fatberg: a large mass of fat and solid waste that collects in a sewer system
So an iFatberg is a large mass of emails and spam that collects in your inbox while you are out of the office.

I was born at Children's Hospital in Washington D.C. in 1960, three years before this mook slipped suddenly head-first from his mom's well-worn womb on whatever truck lot she was laboring, thereby suffering the regrettable injury that has so burdened the rest of us ever since.
When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.
