Ben Cherington sits in his office listening to a Duke Ellington record, sipping Cutty Sark and smoking a cigarette. As he gazes at the otherworldly beautiful ears of his secretary and is reminded of a lost love from 20 years ago, it all becomes clear to him: they've bid on the wrong Murakami

Trying to scare people. But it won't work. No one looks scared to me anymore. And it's power in numbers. All the TV hits in the world won't change the fact that when Americans see the sheer number of people out there, absolutely no one will believe anything these guys say.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Visually a step back from the old map (Metro-North area in particular seems way too empty), but the LIRR really benefits from the extra detail you can add by moving away from geography.

This image shows the new commuter rail map issued by the MTA this year. After decades of more geographically accurate maps, the streamlined look has returned. Which map do you prefer?

The turntable that I’ve been eyeing up went on sale. Gave it a very Delaware Valley christening

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

a good bit would be if Libby sent me a PDF that says, “so did you get around to that copy of Greek Lessons you checked out last year?”

in 2007, steve jobs promised an all-in-one device that would serve as a cell phone, an ipod, and an internet device. what he introduced next was the Mac Pack: a 135-pound backpack with a pull-over steel dome housing a computer monitor, a 14-foot aerial antenna, and a 900-foot retractable power cable

my guess: the CBS late game for all of CA is the 49ers, so no Fox affiliate wants to compete and took an early game instead. but Monterey doesn't have an independent Fox affiliate, it's just a subchannel of KION, the local CBS station, taking away the competition problem

Lmao at no point here does she say "No, there are no photos of Donald Trump with half-naked young women," she just goes straight to attacking Whitehouse. I'm not sure how she could've made him look guiltier unless she'd actually thrown the original photos at the senators.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

All 77 seconds of the video say a lot, but the final five are a saga in their own right.
