HOLD UP. This headline from the @wsj.com is dead wrong - No one at the actual opening ceremonies thinks the US team was being booed. Come on! The CBC broadcasters & people in the stadium are all crystal clear that JD VANCE WAS BEING BOOED, not the team.

I really wish @criticalrole.bsky.social would port their app to Roku so I could watch it on my big screen. The work arounds require additional devices, and not as good quality video.

It has been a while since any episode in the GoT franchises has given me the goosebumps. Episode 4 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms did at the very end.
I'm loving this series. Can't wait for next week's episode.

Dems need to hold firm and shutdown DHS, if the MAGA assholes won't agree to their simple demands to cleanup ICE.

Hey... wasn't there a story a while ago about them buying these?
And we were all like "what does DHS need with mortar launchers?"
And... yeah... I think a few of us saw this coming.

I can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described

Sad that is the last Blue Friday of the season, very happy that it is in February this year.

Didn't recognize Tanny Newsome (Lt Mariner in lower decks) under the makeup in the nearest episode of Starfleet academy. I saw in the opening credits she wrote the episode, now finding out she played an important character made the episode even better. Hope to see her new character again.

I was wondering why I was already seeing spoilers for Kot7K ep 4. HBO Max dropped the episode early so it would not compete with the Superbowl.

I enjoyed the comic, but as a TV show???
I didn't think they could do The Boys "Herogasm" on TV, and they succeeded, so who knows they might be able to pull this off.

Prime Video has given the series order to an adaptation of Image Comic Sex Criminals from Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon.

I didn't fit my own demographics (white, cis male, Gen-xer). I've enjoyed Bad Bunny's music (and acting, and wrestling) since I first found out about him a couple of years ago. The man is full of talent and charisma.
Most of the people who hate him are simply racist assholes.

The only things which the Democrats should agree to rename for Trump are Garbage Dumps and Sewage Processing plants. If they vote to rename anything else they are bending the knee to a Facist.

Maybe the bubble for crypto and AI has finally popped. Lots of the insiders (aka mega-rich) got out early, leaving the average investor (aka suckers) to take the heavy losses.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.
BREAKING: The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.
It's all there.
He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.
Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

After you watch this week's Starfleet Academy, look up how they arranged for the ending. It is a nice tribute, and interesting story. Won't spoil it yet, maybe in a week or two.
