The two men hit it off right away, and as they walked drunkenly through the deserted streets of Osaka at 4:30 in the morning, Reitzell decided to ask Shields if he might be interested in contributing to a film score, if ever he found a suitable project. ‘Sure,’ Shields replied. His only prior experience with film music had been a $5,000 payday he’d shared with J Mascis to demo a version of the Mission Impossible 2 theme song. (In another win for mainstream American culture, Limp Bizkit got the gig instead.) Reitzell knew of Shields’s recent difficulties with Island and his inability to finish new solo work in the studio, but he seemed undeterred.

i'm pretty sure this isn't what it looked like guys
reading about Iran depleting expensive missile defense systems with cheap drones and remembering the time America did war games and Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper was winning by using massed cheap attacks so they changed the rules to get the outcome they wanted

Congressional Dems will counter with $75 billion, and then settle at 100.

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, appears to have deleted his tweet after these Democrats responded

British grandmother with valid tourist visa locked up for six weeks by ICE.
Imagine being shackled at the wrists, waist and ankles and locked up on your vacation in your mid 60s. The scariest part is that you know this is just the tip of the iceberg of all the shit they are doing.
The struggle!
The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.
The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

My father was born in 1945. The Salk vaccine wasn’t approved until 1955 (it was literally front page news). My dad remembers watching his mother’s tears of relief when he got the shot.
He’s still alive, btw. You want me to go ask him what happened to the kids he played with who didn’t get the shot?
