It's early stages, but I'm surprised they aren't going the pay-per-view route and teasing the accompanying merch.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December.

To make this work, the Royals just have to generate the attendance equivalent to their 2014 and 2015 seasons for 30 years. Should be no problem for a team that regularly finishes last in their division.

A new financial report says the proposed Royals stadium in Crown Center could generate about $1.4 billion in total tax revenue over 30 years. Economists have thrown cold water on similar estimates, though.

That's really going to highlight the dirt and grime that results from a kid playing with their toys. Kids are filthy. You'd think a toy company would know that.

Holy shit. Fire and publicy shame everyone who thought this was a good idea. Put 'em on the No Fly list for good measure.

Sure the university is taking on unnecessary debt for a mediocre-to-poor football program but it's also harassing women using the bathrooms. Rock Chalk!

Is it really an "escalation of tensions" when the threat is so fucking stupid it's funny?

President Trump threatened to change the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” in the latest escalation of tensions between the U.S. and Canada.

Sure, it's faster. But humans can stay in their lane and, you know, not explode when they finish the race.

China has been showcasing its growing robotics industry with robots designed to move and work like humans. This humanoid attempted to sprint the 100m.

It is wild that our mayor, a man of the people who drives a 2013 sedan, is pushing a sweetheart deal for a billionaire at the tremendous expense of the city. Shocking!

Kansas City could approve a deal with the Royals within the next two weeks. But the public still doesn’t know where the $600 million will come from or whether the city was successful in negotiating community benefits. buff.ly/Wkp0nXF

Trump: "Very importantly, vaccinations for hepatitis B, covid-19, and influenza, among others, are no longer recommended for all children"

Often, the worst part of being a parent of school children is other parents. There are a lot of "adults" loose who are overly entitled and semiferal.

‘We stopped the bus.’ Wake County parents defend blocking school bus that missed stops. The parents say they felt their children were unsafe on the bus. Parents followed, stopped a car in front of it to keep it from moving and surrounded bus. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e... #nced #wcpss

Tuberville: "If we don't straighten out this country's voting and immigration system, we're not gonna make it. It's gonna be over. I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state."

Someone should sit down with these morons, hold their clammy little hands, and gently explain that books don't turn kids gay.

Ma'am, no one cares if he could crack a joke. He was a vicious, bootlicking little twerp who happily left the world worse off. No amount of funny makes that better.

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov

I got to know Senator Lindsey Graham traveling with him abroad in Afghanistan and Ukraine. We had just met to renew the fight for our Big Tech bill. Even though we disagreed on much, he was always willing to negotiate, with humor and wit. My heart goes out to his loved ones.

No idea why Harry Kane gets so much hype when there's this guy.

Just in: England's Jude Bellingham has done it again. Scoring both of his team's goals in a thrilling quarterfinal against Norway that needed extra time. It was the first World Cup meeting between the two.

It was a bad call that should have been reversed, but this sucks and it spoils whatever the US team does now.

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

Personally, I'd prefer Danzig's "Mother" or The Misfits' "Where Eagles Dare." But this certainly captures the, uh, spirit of America.

The right thing to do would be to force Hee Haw to reimburse the state. But we'll probably cut school lunches or cut Medicaid for kids or something else equally awful because this is Missouri.

Former Gov. Mike Parson’s office spent $375,000 flying him around on state aircraft without keeping flight records showing why, and for a third of those flights, auditors could not identify any state business purpose. (@missouriindependent.com)

A sure sign of a fantastic deal for the city is the inability or unwillingness to explain how we'll pay for it. Also, the Royals only generate $5 million in tax revenue a year? Holy cow, we're screwed.

The devil knows the Bible like the back of his hand.

NPR@npr.org

President Trump isn't much of a Bible-quoter, but some members of his administration are, and they have used Scripture to frame controversial policies as justified by the Good Book.

At the bare minimum, we should elect people who can control their emotions.
