In retrospect it's clear the USSS was aiming to become the go-to federal agency for computer crime cases (i.e. a turf grab), and this ill-conceived raid was their effort to grasp that big ring. It blew up in their face, and the FBI has handled computer crime cases ever since.

Someone in Derek's comments found the DEA listing for it as a meth house property, so yeah. In addition to everything else, it's a superfund-level toxic pit.

Gen X should be born between the Kennedy assassination and the Reagan (attempted) assassination (1963-1981). Millenial is born between the Reagan (attempted) assassination and 9/11 (1981-2001). Those are the rules.

Democrats running the tables with 10-20 point shifts compared to 2024 is really putting a crimp in the "Dems are doomed to wander in the political wilderness unless they adopt my particular political program" doomsayer business. Bad news for MattY, Klein, Bazelon, and their billionaire backers.

Supposedly that scene was written during shooting because the director noticed how good Rickman's American accent was and decided to incorporate that into the film.

I'm guessing her next step is reinventing herself as an I Was Cancelled By The Intolerant Left martyr and trying to become a fixture in right-wing media.

The Apple iPhone weather app has it at 90% chance on Tuesday - starting at 6pm Monday and ending at 4am Tuesday. So, probably not going to effect election day turnout much.

It's a mess, but Act III has some *really* stellar action sequences and those tend to wash away the muddled jumble of the first hour-plus in most peoples' minds.

Sparta ending its days as a tourist trap for rich people to come and watch them play-act as the warriors of old was an oddly fitting fate.

Yeah. They're demanding a bailout because Altman and friends would very much like to be gifted a giant pile of free money (TBF, so would I) and they're casting around for any semi-plausible reason to justify it.
