Because of Ann Patchett's Commonwealth, this immediately makes me think two families are about to be torn apart.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Aside from the childish unseriousness, the thing that just really stands out to be here is just the artistic and cultural leeching. They can't produce anything anyone actually wants to watch themselves so they just pinch a load of clips to repurpose.

Damn girl, are you Trump's approval rating? Because every time you go down there's an explosion.

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

No one's saying Graham Platner should face charges for having a Nazi tattoo. No one is saying he shouldn't be allowed to have a job. People are saying he shouldn't be Senator.

Only 100 people out of a couple hundred million eligible get to hold that job. It's okay to have some scruples about them.

It did not. For a while there was an interesting director attached. I saw a rewrite going around a couple years later that was unfortunately a notch worse. But I still think about it from time to time.

I was a script reader for years and remember exactly one unqualified RECOMMEND. A script I loved so much nearly 20 years ago that I still bring it up to people.

I think if you have an ironclad rule against people with Nazi tattoos running for office, you will have few if any regrets about the policy.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

your new DHS secretary, everyone:

This is what Markwayne Mullin said about Rand Paul a couple weeks ago.

Anyway, guess who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership
