I have two theories. Section 31 was terrible at recruiting covert ops and we've seen their blundering over and over again on the small screen. Or, they were very good at covert ops and we've only seen the few times they misjudged the morality of their operatives.

I'm a carpenter. If I do my job well, you won't know I was there at all.

What a wimp.

Wasn't the genome sequencing in 2010 to determine just how the hell he wasn't suffering from his epic substance abuse? So that we could get some of that Ozzy sauce and party til we drop, of course. Did Keith Richards ever do the same?

From wiki: "The lake was renamed from its traditional Mono name by American settlers after an incident on September 23, 1871, in which a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City, Nevada, and took refuge near the lake. They were pursued by a posse, and after it caught up to the convicts, a shootout followed, in which a number of both posse members and convicts were killed or wounded. The remaining convicts who survived initially escaped but were eventually captured to be taken back to prison. They were lynched instead."

Wah wah (muted trumpet noise, emphasis mine)

The Orville is great!

Young Pre-diabetes. Young Crippling Anxiety. Young Fatty Liver. Young Sexless Marriage. Young Survivors Guilt.

I think I prefer the Wu-Tang name generator.

She just talked with Adam on the Factually podcast this past week, FYI.

There's no wrong time to cancel Paramount+. Even when they had all the Trek content, the UI was dog shit so you could barely play what you wanted to watch anyway. And now that they've made the decision to split their IP, ugh.

I watched the CBS morning show for years. Amongst the morning news, I felt it was the best programming: had long-form investigative reporting, balanced viewpoints, etc. Then they added a shopping segment. Okay, gotta pay the bills. Then they started doing more pop-culture bits, even prompting Nora to ask, in the middle of her prompter read, "is this news?" Then they started to carve out time for at least 1 segment a week for Moriarty to interview a billionaire about their passion projects. And so on. The last straw for me was normalizing Trump's shtick a second time.

Now the only news I watch is the Weather Channel.

I'll hang on to 10 as long as they'll let me, but I am never going to 11. Then it'll be a distro for dis bro.

Sorry.

We don't have the RV thing where I am. The people in the video are talking like this is commonplace in Portland. Is this mobile drug manufacturing? Mobile prostitution? Do they move the RVs often to avoid police? Are they stealing the RVs or is there some black market?

It just seems organized. Thanks ahead for any insight.

It is Marching Season in Northern Ireland, when Protestants hold parades, marches and bonfires celebrating a Protestant victory over Catholics in 1690. The season runs from Easter to September, but the peak is in July.

This effigy is definitely a product of ultra right-wing talking points and mounting tension from anti-immigrant sentiment. It's not a healthy expression of a valid concern. There are mannequins depicting human beings at the top of the pyre. Under it is a sign that tells you exactly the group they want to harm. Further, a sign that says "veterans before immigrants" sets up a false dichotomy that pits two unrelated groups against each other. It has all the tropes of this type of propaganda.

The designers and builders of the pyre should not be celebrated and should face some legal backlash.
