NYTimes headline about submarine torpedoes.

Wow can’t wait to see what other weapons we fire off that we haven’t used since WWII.

If a black hole swallows the earth before 2027 I am going to be rich as hell.

So you’re telling me this warn is going to pay for itself?

Once they put troops on the ground, how fast does the conversation snap back to, “well we gotta support our troops!”

Trump predicts weeks of war

George W Bush declared mission accomplished in Iraq after 6 weeks of war.

Guy had to be red hulk at 82 with a broken shoulder and he was vocally pissed about needing the work.

a long, long song

Normal looking sprite bottle

Hmm

Little help

Turns out it’s legit

Went to the corner deli, picked up sodas for the kids as a treat. My son is like, this tastes different. I look closer and it turns out it’s a version of Sprite from … Iraq? Then I tasted it and it tasted way different, like an xmas wreath and cumin. Anyway glad their export soda biz is doing well.

Minnesota Wild cursed for 100 years, watch.

Yah.

Ken bone

Trump is not bruised.

He’s not bruised, it’s a frequent handshaking side effect.

Gift link: "The account by Ryan Schwank, a former ICE lawyer who worked at the ... government’s law enforcement training academy, coincided with the release by Senate Democrats of several dozen pages of internal ICE records that suggest the Trump [admin] has curtailed the agency’s basic training."

Kash Patel and the U.S. Men’s Hockey Team Deserve Each Other These Olympics were joyful and uplifting. Then the FBI director showed up.

Gotta read @alexkirshner.com on the men's team post-gold locker-room talk with Kash Patel and Trump at the expense of the women's team. "A particular bummer here was the visible, bent-over laughter of overtime hero Jack Hughes, whose mom literally works for the women’s team."

You’re welcome. Honestly people complain that this winter is too long. I feel Christmas was yesterday. I am just getting started here.

DHS caught straight up lying, again. An agent in Chicago rammed into a car with his gun already in hand, claimed he was the one hit, and then shot the driver five times. They accuse her of being a domestic terrorist. Then he gets congratulated by DHS leaders, and possibly the president. Watch:

Bill O’Reilly, Tom Suozzi, also one of the Village People, also one of the guys from the band Wheatus.

Overton crack in the wall really letting this balmy weather into my compartment.

Even Overton window needs a refresh. Getting a little stale. These Overton French doors are sliding shut fast!

The new marketing of the new experience is almost as important as the new experience itself. Where were you when it was really cold that one year vs. where were you during the arctic chokeslam. I want winter to slam me to the pavement by the neck.

I really like extreme temperatures in either direction, but definitely love the ice cold better than whatever we have right now. Everything is wet outside whereas yesterday was dry. No more excuses to stay inside all day. Bring on the bitter cold forever.

Damn I have to delete this because someone in a work meeting just said this and I can't risk them seeing it and think that I'm subtweeting them in real life, but the point still stands.

Fort Bliss is within the air space the FAA briefly tried to ban all flights from for 10 days.

Are we the baddies?

Unacceptable.

There is so much dog shit on these snowcapped NYC sidewalks. What do you think is the percentage of dog owners who just DGAF? Gotta be like 60-75%. This is no way to live.

Typographically super impressive. His pee-writing is neater than my handwriting.

The G.O.P. Senator Who Can’t Stop Thinking About the Boy ICE Detained

Gift link: Britt tries hard to frame herself as a lowkey moderating force on the worst instincts of this administration. Disapproving of Trump through private backchannels, but voting with him 100% while being publicly sympathetic to the viral horrors that cut through culture war, like this 5yo boy.

Yes! It would be an option, a sort of mutually assured destruction. Teams would be on their best behavior for a while, then some small trades might start a panic run, the next thing you know it’s trade Armageddon. And then everything freezes until next year.

To clarify, I mean there would be a fixed amount of trades for the entire league, not per team. So say 50 trades, for example. Once that’s done, rosters freeze for the season.
