A young woman stands at the College Station city limits sign circa 1930. The current population of College Station is 121 thousand, so the city is roughly 55 times larger than it was fewer than 100 years ago. That staggers me.
the Houthis blew up an oil facility in Jeddah during the 2022 Saudi GP weekend so yeah probably an easy call www.espn.com/f1/story/_/i...
When pondering “lethality,” this quote from Sherman in 1865 comes to mind:
“War means success by any and every means; it is not fighting alone. Bulls do that, and bears, and all beasts, but men attain objects by intellect, and the introduction of physical power, moved upon strategic points."
Time to call this guy again.
Let's expand this please

This is a bad article. It doesn't say who or where the steak and lobster was for, but slyly ties it to a piano purchase for the Air Force CoS home. Making it out to be corrupt purchase for WPs personal enjoyment.
Most likely that was regular purchasing for food stuffs for the troopz.
Well deserved. Probably my favorite paper of the year from 2025
Think Kenneth Walker ends up in a supercharged version of the Isiah Pacheco role. But Chiefs were getting no explosives from their run game and that's what Walker can bring. And much better to sign an FA than use a top-ten pick on a RB, even a very good one.
Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Riker and Geordi, in uniforms red and gold, meet at a Enterprise corridor intersection. Riker is *very* tall. You don't always see it, but here facing and compared to Geordi, sheesh he's a tall drink of water. Anyways, his hair's a bit messy. Closed caption reads, "I'm having trouble waking up."
The Fargo Woodchippers. It’s like a baseball player was fed into a woodchipper but not really its an animated logo style.
Some of the Minor League promo team names are ok but sometimes they nail it.

"The First of Many," a 20th century illustration of the Marine landing in the Bahamas
March 3, 1776: American Marines carry out their first landing on a foreign shore. More than 200 men of the newly created sea-land force, joined by 50 sailors of the Continental Navy, storm the beaches of Nassau in the Bahamas to try to capture gunpowder badly needed by Washington's Army. 1/7

Was nice to come home to this the other day. #NavalHistory
#OTD On Feb 28, 1942, German submarine U-578 torpedoed USS Jacob Jones (DD-130) off Cape May, NJ. Two hits detonated depth charges, she sank in about an hour. Of 143 crew, ~30 survived initial blasts but only 11 endured, 132 lost. First U.S. destroyer sunk in WWII.

It's Only a Paper Moon is a fantastic coda to it, too

Happy birthday to Edward James Olmos!
So this is the day I've been waiting for to share the Adama Maneuver for the first time this year. 😁
how strange it is that this is still the best character arc ever put on television and as such probably the best "character" who has ever been on television
Karen Sillas Instagram post saying that her dear friend and costar Tom Noonan passed peacefully on Valentine's Day.
Tom Noonan as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter
Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.
Skating to any Max Richter piece used in The Leftovers should be made illegal
I'm not crying.
A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.
We say goodbye to Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker Robert Duvall.
With a career spanning over seven decades, Duvall's storytelling transcended mediums and generations of audiences – as he delivered a range of unforgettable performances.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones.
"Oi m8 me Holden's facked."
God bless Mount Panorama
When fiction meets reality... Director John Frankenheimer and his crew filmed the opening to SEVEN DAYS IN MAY outside the White House one day after JFK announced the limited nuclear test ban treaty. The great Myra McPherson [1934-2026] captured the scene for the Washington Evening Star.
It strikes me as problematic the extent to which knowing how something works or even wanting to know is seen as endorsement of it.
