Do you care to attach names to this shit? Like what is the ostensible journalistic purpose of the paper of record anonymously attacking journalists?

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran

β€œPresident Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. 

β€œAs someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

β€œWe know who will bear the cost of this decision: innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members sent into harm’s way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed.

β€œThe American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."

They're never gonna make another movie where when something sad happens it plays the slow part of "On the Radio" and when something good happens it plays the hook of "On the Radio."

It's a thrill to watch a movie where when something sad happens it plays the slow part of "On the Radio" and when something good happens it plays the hook of "On the Radio."

I've been listening to Moroder's soundtrack for "Foxes." Donna Summer's "On the Radio" is the theme of Jodie Foster's coming of age.

Rihanna shot her Star Trek video in a California desert portraying a distant planet, which is possibly more Star Trek than the film it was for.

much like Seal, I really respect that Rihanna is going to incorporate your film into her music video if she does the theme, lol

I think it's fun to bounce in and out of this, like sometimes you can obsessively listen to a Ronettes song and then be like "all right, this is way too much" months later

I think all disco can be like that sometimes and sometimes you listen to the guitar line on "Voulez-Vous" and you're like, "yeeeah."

The back of a trading card summarizes the ending of Twin Peaks as plainly as can be:
"LAURA PALMER & DALE COOPER
Cooper hardly expected to meet Laura after her death, but they did meet, in a sense β€” first in one of Cooper's dream of the Red Room and later, when he entered the same room through Glastonbury Grove. A quarter-century later, Phillip Jeffries sent Cooper back to the night of Laura's murder. He took her hand and led her through the woods, but he could not save her."
