Shower thought: the transporter in Star Trek 100 per cent, no question, kills the person who uses it and replaces then with a copy. I would never use one.

if you really think about it, there's no problem we face that can't be solved by a new White House ballroom

A thought, looking forward, at the strategy of the anti-Trump coalition, given the pattern we've seen, DHS will begin probably soon, drawing down forces in Minneapolis and going to harass some other place. It'll be useful to frame this as 'ICE defeated' and a 'retreat' - they are 'fleeing.'

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

If USA Hockey doesn't pick Jason Robertson for the Olympic team, I'm rooting for Finland.

We won't know until January 2 but it really looks like Jason Robertson won't be picked to be part of Team USA. Insert totally justified/don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking otherwise outrage here. (Although I'm calling it: he makes the cut.) www.nytimes.com/athletic/691...

that's no way to talk about the archivist of the united states

Could we please actually focus on the actual fucking conventional conflict in Europe that's been going on for over three years that involves a global adversary of the United States. I need the ADHD-addled spastics in this administration to stop inventing new wars until we're done with current wars.

I think Trump’s increasingly extreme trade policies will probably help the GOP electorally by juicing base turnout — the only way they could make this go better for themselves would be by banning abortion and privatizing Medicare.

Delighted to announce that the Royal Navy have given in and will be painting both carriers with dazzle camouflage. The project will cost £28bn and will be aiming for completion in 2045. The First Sea Lord, reached for comment, said: "Any cost is worth it to shut her up, honestly."

Terrible. I know Democrats are terrified of seeming pro-immigration or pro-immigrants, but maybe they could bestir themselves to stand up against this grotesque combination of nativism and Putinism.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.
