Yes, non-sentient AI spambot, I am definitely Leah Littman. And my New York Times best-selling book LAWLESS: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes is in an early draft stage despite already being a NY Times best seller.

Got 2 #MarkCrilley art books for a friend's kid, bc @markcrilley.bsky.social kids art books are the best! The Drawing Lesson is a GN about a kid getting art lessons from an artist neighbor. EVERY panel illustrates the lessons: pure brilliance. www.markcrilley.com/booksgraphic...

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

if you're keeping score at home what's happening is this the department of war is running major combat operations in iran which may last just a few weeks maybe longer or maybe even forever and which are NOT a war but whose stated objective is unconditional surrender

Etymology From French grognard (“grumbler”). Pronunciation IPA(key): /ˈɡɹɔnjɑɹ/, /ˈɡɹoʊn.jɑɹd/, /ˈɡɹɑɡ.nɑɹd/ Noun grognard (plural grognards) 1. An old soldier. 2. (historical) A soldier of the original imperial guard that was created by Napoleon I in 1804 and that made the final French charge at Waterloo. 3. (games, slang) Someone who enjoys playing older war games or roleplaying games, or older versions of such games, when newer ones are available, and often complains frequently about newer games. "James is such a grognard: he only plays the original edition of Dungeons & Dragons." 4. (military) A soldier or military enthusiast who pays meticulous attention to rules, details, and traditions, often respected for their expertise in areas that others might overlook.

Grognard defined, via en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grognard That's me, but only usage #3.

Some pieces I still adore by the late DAT aka David Trampier. My favorite gaming artist ever. Despite his popularity he quit art in 1988, became a taxi driver, refused (high paying) private commissions, and passed away in 2014.

Here's some actual reporting to go with Ryan's reflexive Platner defense: "Gertner sat at her mother’s dining table in the house she’d grown up in, next to a roaring fire, admiring the Christmas tree." www.midcoastvillager.com/news/health/...

You ever stop to think that a bunch of grifters, racists and pedos are setting the entire planet on fire in 2026 because they are still butthurt that a black dude was elected President back in 2008?

Same guy…🤬

here’s her replacement

Marimar Martinez's lawyer, Chris Parente:
"We are pleased that there is still some level of accountability remaining for our Government officials who blindly push out false narratives without any due diligence or investigation of the truth."

When Asian-American high schoolers joined lawsuits to end diversity programs at universities, it was like watching a carpenter build a gallows while their rich patron slipped a rope around their neck. You were so passionate, and now we are next.

I can imagine Ryan Coogler making a whole multiverse from several classic dystopian settings.

Including our present one.

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results.

The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

TPM is a treasure and punches way above its weight.

Friends of democracy should check it out. Frequent readers should become Prime members for about a buck a week for the first year.

Playbook | If Pete Hegseth cannot effectively manage America’s war in Iran, insiders expect President Trump will replace him with a weekday—or even a prime time—Fox News host.

This is the man who tried to snatch the "Black people are not apes" sign out of Al Green's hands as he was peacefully and silently holding it during the SOTU, by the way.

Kennedy and Senator Ted Kennedy.[9] Kennedy was raised at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, and at Hickory Hill, the family estate in McLean, Virginia.[10][11][12] In June 1972, Kennedy graduated from the Palfrey Street School, a day school in Watertown, Massachusetts. While attending Palfrey, he lived with a surrogate family at a farmhouse in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[13] Kennedy continued his education at Harvard University, graduating in 1976 with a Bachelor of Arts in American history and literature.

Kaplan, he did thesis research in Alabama.[14] He earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1982[15][16] and a Master of Laws from Pace University in 1987.[17]

How does a guy raised in Massachusetts not understand Dunkin?

The neon green cover is MY variant for SLEEP #8 from Image!

Funny Fact: I based the glasses on the protagonist's in the story. Went online to find a real pair like them. Totally didn't notice they ARE Zander's real glasses from our ZOOM calls!

“…there’s no reason to treat an established luxury goods brand as more worthy of her time than, say, the Nigerian designers she’s been highlighting… it’s definitely worth noting when one of the world’s oldest luxury brands commits itself to giving a pregnant Black woman anything she wants.”

I actually owe Trump and Hegseth an apology. I mocked them for renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, but they’ve sure made that new name an accurate one.

This is horrifying. They feel responsibility to no one.

The USA has made it OK for military and White House officials to gamble on "When do you wager I'll kill and bomb these people? I'm betting I'll do it... NOW."

I wonder if there's a connection between the lack of any stupid rules of engagement and the US/Israeli missile strikes that killed eighty or ninety schoolchildren 36 hours ago.
