Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

Oh, I think he can go iffier.

If we’re lucky, he’ll experiment with some iffy biohack, and the problem will take care of itself.

It’s baffling to me. These are the people who watched “Karate Kid” and “Better Off Dead” and rooted for the bullies.

It’s my favorite of the three.

Moderna says FDA refuses its application for new mRNA flu vaccine The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is refusing to consider Moderna’s application for a new flu vaccine made with mRNA technology.

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Abolish ICE. Arrest and try them all, starting with Noem

I mean, I loved it, but the idea that criticism isn’t allowed is absurd.

Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Opening Remarks:

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

The funniest thing is that back in the day he would’ve been on that boat “back to where he came from“ because he’s not the right flavor of white guy.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

The acting, writing, cinematography, and music are all 10/10 — an absolutely amazing accomplishment.

I saw so many little moments from my own life on-screen that it was pretty emotionally overwhelming (and ultimately joyful.)

That was before Herr Miller.

Cross Training 😁

As an aside, if you’ve never seen “All of Me“ with Lily Tomlin and Steve Martin, definitely check it out. Absolutely brilliant.

Iran has been under communications blackout for over 60 hours now. Several thousand people have been killed (numbers vary by source, I have seen between 2 and 5000 this morning). Iranians abroad don't know if their loved ones are alive or dead, have absolutely no way to communicate 1/

The sensible thing to do next week would be to return to work with a can-do attitude, value teamwork and leverage synergies to contribute to the value stream, but fucking hell there must be a better way to spend this limited time on earth

Same.

There is an interactive viewer mode as well as the ability to export to PNG or PDF.

Something a little different for this pre-holiday weekend, as we roll towards the end of the year. I did this as part of my MSc thesis, to add a little variety to my hobby of "staring at molecules." #compchem

Enjoy! Have a great holiday.

Ho ho ho

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.
