Torven

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Fun Fact: Dan J. Sullivan registered as a Republican last December, after his previous party, the right-wing, libertarian Alaskan Independence Party, was dissolved.

Imagine tanking a reputation built over 25 years by going masks off with this Carvillesque brain rot two weeks before an election.

I will point out that English proficiency was already required to obtain a commercial license in any state. The test must be taken in English, and language interpreters have been banned from the test since the Obama Administration.

"Our side," they're not even trying to hide it anymore.

End of post chain for Roger Parloff's marathon live posting of the East Potomac Park hearing today.

All rise. Reyes on bench. J: trust everyone's weekend was as relaxing as mine and my clerks. [sarcastic] [clerk calling case] Attys giving appearances. Mark Samburg for plaintiffs ... Norm Eisen ... Abbe Lowell DOJ: Stan Woodward; Andrew Block, Robert Stander, Marissa Pilopato. ... /5

Four days before yesterday’s ICE shooting in the Bronx, Judge Gary Brown of EDNY (Trump apptee) listed 7 outrages in an ICE case before him, including evasive & apparently perjurious testimony, post-hoc sworn arrest warrant containing false info, woeful lack of training … 1/2

To add context to this, Chestnut Blight kills the trees before they reach maturity. The trees in this particular grove have a rare resistance to the blight that allows them to survive long enough to produce seeds.

The State Department has announced that the US declined to invite international election observers, because they do not want to waste the OSCE's precious resources. (Press X to doubt)

"The governor also requested the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to waive federal ultra-low sulfur diesel requirements to boost supply." I'm not sure I can fully express how badly this is likely to backfire. Modern diesels can't handle anything but ULSD. www.texastribune.org/2026/09/28/t...

Google Maps updated their photos of Gaza. This is 2024 and 2026 for the area just north of Rafah.

So, fun little thing I discovered regarding Audible. If you have an old title that has since been republished and relisted, you can't just play the old version on the app. There's no button to start playing. The workaround is to add it to a custom list and access it from there.

These hockey players also participated in gang rape, their names and faces should be everywhere as well. THEY ARE STILL WALKING FREE!!!!

Anyways, this is genuinely the funniest chart in the world because it shows Jill Stein's twitter use spikes every four years and only during years where there's a federal election so if she's breaking her silence now *someone* is panicking

We all know it's true. @atrupar.com

BREAKING: Trump appointed judge orders the White House to immediately restore press credentials.

NEW: 8 sailors aboard the Lincoln attempted suicide per a letter from the Secretary of the Navy to Congress. That is “incredibly high”. www.cnn.com/2026/09/23/p...

Florida has 22 million people. Peak ACA enrollment was 4.5 million. He has his numbers completely backwards.

The president can exclude reporters, even for viewpoint discriminatory reasons EvEn fOr vIeWpoiNt DisCriMinAtoRy rEaSoNs EVEN FOR VIEWPOINT DISCRIMINATORY REASONS storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It is worth pointing out that there are, in fact, two triumphal arches in Washington D.C. One dedicated to the Atlantic Theatre of WWII, the other dedicated to the Pacific. In fact, they literally anchor the far side of the reflecting pool from the Lincoln Memorial:

BREAKING: Evanston police confirm a U.S. citizen was briefly detained by federal agents Sunday morning near Howard and Dodge before being released The man was taken to the hospital for injuries to his head, neck and teeth after agents drove off

What are the snipers for, Donnie? Why are you putting snipers in the middle of DC?

NEW: ICE shooting in Austin. Scant details at this time.

His brain is completely broken. What the actual fuck is this nonsense

JUST IN: The 1st Circuit rejects the Trump administration's 3rd-country deportation policy, finding blanket assurances from countries who say they won't torture U.S. deportees is not good enough. And the judges raise this point: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is so insane I cannot believe this is real. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

In its newest court filing, ABC TV says their first amendment rights are violated by Trump’s FCC probe of ABC affiliates What’s more, they say it’s crystal clear. They cite Trump’s own statements (Usually such cases require inferences. But not in this case. They argue)

footage is making the rounds on Facebook of a canvasser wearing a Stronger Maine shirt (a super PAC that supports Susan Collins) stealing a package yesterday

This is art.

Trump says the Kennedy Center won’t be renovated unless he gets his name on it.

Lukas Graham officially quits the tour. That's literally all of Sheeran's openers.

Trump just posted that the Kennedy Center is “doomed,” and “isn’t that too bad?” He says his handpicked board is meeting today and “it will be interesting to see what happens.” He’s going to tear down the Kennedy Center because he’s not allowed to put his name on it, isn’t he

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

Welp, there's my nightmares squared away for this weekend.

NEW: The federal prosecutor who charged ICE agent Christian Castro for lying about shooting Sosa-Celia has now been FIRED. He objected to the DoJ stopping him from charging a civil rights violation. And now he’s fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-min...

“A 1-year-old baby appeared in immigration court without legal representation in Arizona and received an instruction: File an asylum application before the next hearing or face deportation.”

both Jon Ossoff and Chris Van Hollen have been opposed by AIPAC and backed by the much less awful J Street, but Ossoff is Jewish while Van Hollen isn’t so guess who gets the Evil Red Monochrome background

Fun Fact: In 1999, trucking companies pegged the price of fuel at about $1.25 per gallon and began levying a surcharge to compensate for fuel prices. For every $0.06/gallon that the price goes up, they charge an extra $0.01/mile. The current surcharge is about $0.70/mile ($700 for a 1,000 mile run).

That moment everyone else realizes you slept through the English Transliteration lecture during training.

Farage has declared Count Binface to be "the establishment candidate." I can't even...
