Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Reminder that "firing on the shipwrecked" is literally THE example used in the DoD War Manual of "a clearly illegal order"

Look, we have cultural differences. We'll take Die Hard, and you take Love Actually.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

From Frederick Douglass's 1867 "Composite Nation" speech, a defense of Chinese migration to the United States at a time when anti-Chinese sentiment was intensifying. teachingamericanhistory.org/document/our...

I really hope there's a tasting ritual at these sorts of places like a winery

this could be us but we playin with antivaxxers

I love how this and Dorris Ranch are showing that you can combine nature preservation with a historically significant agricultural crop. I hope more filbert partnerships pop up in the McKenzie / Willamette region.

maybe i am going insane

Ah yes, the Everybody Loves Raymond reunion, so many were asking for that CBS

Fuck yeah Patrick McGoohan is the guest murderer in this Columbo ep

Okay, Strange New Worlds separating the eventual TOS crewmembers onto the Farragut with Kirk in S3E6 is pretty clever.

Doing great, Grok

"The American Revolution was made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and viewers like you." Don't threaten me with a good time, PBS.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Was really hoping the Sliver talk meant the plea was for Tom Berenger to be in Knives Out 4

I don't get out to a ton of movies, but someone in the thread mentioned Black Bag so I'll go with that.

I read this book Freddie, tell him before it's too late. Lil Newt deserves better!

Haven't watched in a long while, but I secretly love the mess that is Southland Tales. It's a huge swing and miss, but very watchable. We need more of those. Also Teen Horniness Is Not a Crime ends up in my playlists quite a lot

Not to lay my cards on the table but I think this narrow focus in online discourse on who deserves to be rewarded really elides the actual societal value of the education system (teaching members of society important stuff that it's valuable for them to know)

Much like real Bushido, poster's bushido is a post facto romanticization of an earlier era of uncontrolled conflict, constructed by the inhabitants of a more centralized system to justify their own pretensions.

Yes, adopt the calendar of a region with no continental climate

While we're at it someone bring Quibi back from the dead

it’s good this happened and it’s another reason the death penalty should not exist. this never should’ve had to come down to a last minute decision by a governor. we suck at the death penalty, get rid of it

The Tenth Charlie Cale is when the series gets really timey-wimey.

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

So the two QBs from this 2014 CFP playoff game will be starting this weekend...

Kurt Vonnegut's passage about Armistice Day in "Breakfast of Champions" always hit hard. He wrote this to make sure everyone knew what we lost when we changed the name of the holiday to Veterans' Day. www.loa.org/news-and-vie...

As much as I find common cause with my more radical friends I (reluctantly) oppose the hardline proposals to summarily incarcerate every ICE agent. I urge everyone to consider the centrist compromise of abolishing ICE

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once.

One episode in, Death by Lightning whips

What a bunch of scumbags

one heartening thing is i dont think germans followed the SS around calling them lil bitch asses

Okay Ghosts of Mars is terrible. What was Carpenter smoking?

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

RFK Jr wants your kids to die, suffer, or somehow be stronger for it while all their family and friends suffer and die

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

/13 Seriously, though: if you are suffering, reach out for help. There is always hope, and things can get better, and you are not going through it alone.

People should use their SNAP benefits for whatever they think they need. Both because any effort you make to micromanage purchases is inefficient and cumbersome and because people who need help aren’t obligated to perform for or satisfy others in order to eat.
