Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

As a faceblind person, I dread any time someone changes their hair.

(Or clothes.)

No one is on The Pitt is acknowledging that Langdon treated Santos like shit and gaslit her on her first day on the job (and could have gotten her fired), and hasn't even tried to make amends.

And he's a "life coach." Imagine being coached in anything by him.

The "antisemitism is rising" narrative exists because of people like A) the shooter, and B) Aysha, both of whom represent some foul fucking antisemitism.

Logged into FB for the first time in ages and learned that Robin Adnan Anders has died. :-(

I cannot tell you how many times I listened to "From the Ladle to the Grave" and "Antler Dance" in the mid-90s. Or since.

Agreed, but also four women (since we got Harley promo work). Still too few (and too few segments).

Since it's Kalshi and not a poll, I'm assuming it's because some folks have bets (or "positions") on both Massie and Gallrein to cover their spreads.

I know "holy shit" chants at wrestling matches are common these days, but man, this is a "holy shit" move if I've ever seen one.

a neil gaiman defender contests a response of 'no' to a link to a substack, and is told 'I see that like Neil Gaiman, you don't understand that no is a complete sentence'

Won't deny feeling a bit of schadenfreude at seeing the hiring manager who ghosted me around this time last year (after a finalist interview, even) post the position again. Sucks to know you both made the wrong choice and also don't know basic managerial communication skills.

80s singer Thomas Dolby on raising queer kids: "the eldest is trans, the middle is a lesbian, and the youngest is a drummer"

WWE is channeling Adam Ant here, because this is both desperate but not serious.

A plethora of Jamba.

Watching DTF St. Louis, and apparently Jamba Juice still is a thing.

(Just checked their website, and there are a whopping 4 in all of MA, which might explain why I hadn't thought about them in years.)

The dumbest thing you've ever done is almost certainly still nowhere close to what "sovereign citizens" do every single day.

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.

This is how I learned the news.

Do you live in Massachusetts and use heating oil in your home? Have you had any struggles getting your tank refilled in the last two weeks? Given recent price spikes, are you worried about the cost of refilling your tank right now? Please reach out to reporter Miriam Wasser at mrwasser@bu.edu.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe any story in which Trump spends money on other people.

I would prefer sleeper assets NOT be activated in the country I live in but hard to argue it's anything but deserved

The headline's focusing on Trader Joe's, but this includes Kroger brands and also Tai Pei, which is nationwide.

Got the same letter this week (assuming it's TriVeto), and can't wait until I can apply for the class action settlement in eight months, followed by finally getting 6.97 thrown at me via Zelle or Venmo a year later after I've forgotten about it.

Corey Parker Dies: 'Will & Grace' Actor Was 60 Corey Parker, the actor known for roles in 'Will & Grace' and 'Friday the 13th: A New Beginning', has died. He was 60.

Aww. But also, how the fuck (and I say this as a HUGE Friday the 13th fan) does his two-minute role in A New Beginning rate a headline, but not his lead role in Flying Blind, one of the best one-and-done sitcoms (and the thing that launched Téa Leoni's career)?

Oof. This interview with Alysa Liu is great, but the between-the-lines stuff about the way her dad treated her while she was training the first time is pretty brutal.

Watching last night's #AEWCollision, and what the fuck is wrong with the AZ fans who think shouting "what" during a promo doesn't make them fucking asshole who don't deserve to watch wrestling?

Yup.

It took about ten minutes for Tony and Excalibur to start calling it a "Double Main Event," and I wouldn't be surprised if it was because someone saw the reaction online.
