Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

New York got their Mamdani.
When do the rest of us get to have a Mamdani-type leader?

Modern actors spending months getting shredded for a film when their classic film counterparts just tighted their belts as much as possible, inhaled, and refused to take another breath while the camera was on.

USA Men’s Hockey has also kinda lost the window to make any type of statement that feels genuine. Anything at this point is just going to be PR drool.

ICE wants to spend 38 billion to house immigrants. It would cost 20 billion to end homelessness in the US. America first my ass

Personally, the biggest obstacle to book criticism (in addition to the loss of review outlets) is that I only want to read weird little books these days — and occasionally, weird big books.

When I like them, few outlets will care. When I dislike them, I don't have the heart to tell anybody.

Almost done. Like all Mary Roach books, it is of course both extremely delightful and also way too short

I let #Tubi decide for me today, and I'm not mad about it, friend.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

ICE took their papers—and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

A troubling new problem has emerged in Minnesota: Immigrants are being released without documents proving their status.

According to 10 immigration lawyers we interviewed, immigrants have been released from detention centers without work permits, Social Security cards, and other documents.

This snow storm is a reminder of how violent and powerful the planet can be and that after we've destroyed everything, the planet will still be here.

Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting.

If you think that Bruce Wayne could help Gotham out more if he just used his fortune on social projects instead of dressing up as a bat, you either don't read comics or you read them but don't pay attention, and I honestly do not know which one is sadder.

I can't say how much I hope Jasmine Crockett defeats James talirico in the election. I think she is the real deal, a very genuine defender of democracy. People like her offer the greatest hope that the US will not slide further into fascism.

The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.

JACK HUGHES! USA wins gold for the first time since the Miracle on Ice! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is how you do a blurb for the back of a comic book.

HOT FUZZ scene. Pegg as a cop talking to some underage kids in a pub When’s your birthday? 22nd of February. What year? Every year.

Happy birthday to this young man, and really to us all

stopped reading a book after 130 pages because it was very boring (to me) and I didn't want to read 250 more boring pages. yet again a podcast interview with an author tricked me.
