Headbangers Ball was pretty important to 19 yr old me but the rest evolved into canned drama shows so I kind of shrug at this news.

MTV is officially ending all of its music channels.
In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

“Out of touch” isn’t it.
A president who gilds the Oval Office in gold, slaps his own name on a cultural institution, tears down the East Wing for his own vanity project, and then tells us the affordability crisis is all in our heads.
It’s not out of touch; it’s contempt for the people he governs.

My wife and I stood next to Sean Penn at an intersection in San Francisco. Looking both ways, I noticed him to my left. As I surreptitiously (maybe) elbowed my wife for her attention, he lifted a CVS bag up to his face and walked toward a white Range Rover across the street. In the car was a ..

Yeah, the AR-15. A.K.A. your basic mass shooter’s weapon of choice.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is suing D.C. over its ban on semi-automatic (AR-15) weapons.
DOJ's Civil Rights Division under Harmeet Dhillon is seeking a court ruling that D.C.'s law "prohibiting registration of the AR-15 by law-abiding citizens violates the Second Amendment."

Correct. Unacceptable attack.
National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Trump just pardoned Dan Wilson, a former Jan. 6 defendant, for a second time — this time on gun charges not related to his conduct during the Capitol riot.
The White House says Trump pardoned Wilson again because the gun charges stemmed from an investigation into him after Jan. 6.

The net value of ICE is simply citizens suffering. For the .01% of legit criminals they’ve apprehended, they’ve disturbed thousands of lives in our country. For no reason at all apart from the cruelty being the point.

This is all so incredibly stupid. Snowflakes done in by a sandwich.
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

No.
“Well do you want only khaki wearing Ivy League types?”
As if there aren’t plenty of public school-educated people in Levi’s who don’t Nazi.

Opinion | I never personally had a Nazi-curious phase. But as a fair minded journalist, it’s my job to pretend this is a normal rite of passage for American men who might later go into politics.

Intersect shit like this with recent reporting that ICE is spending millions on small arms as of late and shit‘s gonna get dark real quick.
