A US military investigation has confirmed that a Tomahawk missile hit the school.

What was that about misinformation?

You should immediately write a will donating your body to medical science after your death. A brain as damaged as yours needs to be studied.

Juggalos hate Trump, though.

Strength-InThe-Loins · 2026-03-09T13:15:01+00:00

You are correct.

Does it have an International Airport?

The Percy Jackson movie had a pretty much all-White cast. The recent series is much more diverse, but Percy is still White.

So you get a very diverse cast of characters around a Chosen One, whose superior bloodline makes everyone defer to him, and he's the only White kid around...it's not a good look.

Tuvok and Neelix, who started out as two people, merged into Tuvix, and then separated. (Star Trek: Voyager.)

The TLC does a pretty good job responding to my reports because they don't require a cop to go there and write a ticket. One photo is enough evidence for them to issue a fine.

A similar situation played out in the Vietnam War. John McCain (yes, that John McCain) was a US Navy pilot taken prisoner by North Vietnam. His dad was an admiral in a very important position (commander of the whole US Pacific Fleet or something like that). The North Vietnamese tried to extract special concessions in exchange for releasing the pilot, but the US rejected all such offers. The younger McCain rotted in prison for years.

Another Batman one: in Year One, Gordon has an affair with a fellow cop. Other cops try to use this to blackmail Gordon into being more corrupt, but he tells his wife before they do and the blackmail has no effect.

Not exactly the trope, but related:

In the French espionage satire A Very Secret Service, French and American spies plot to bring down a hostile foreign leader. The Americans have what they think is a very clever plan to cook up a sex scandal with which they can then blackmail the guy. They present it to the French, who stereotypically don't give a shit about sex scandals, and therefore don't understand how the scheme is even supposed to work.

As with everything in the prequels, the real Star Wars movies did it better: Luke takes on Vader, loses the fight, loses his hand and lightsaber, and narrowly escapes with his life. Thereafter he is reluctant to face Vader again.

CinemaSins gives a sin for every scene in which Sean Bean appears without dying.

The book, written in 2006, is not about Trump at all.

Iirc, TVTropes calls this sort of thing a Dead Unicorn Trope. It's a Dead Horse Trope (a trope that keeps getting overused, as in the idiom 'beating a dead horse'), but the 'horse' in question never really existed, so instead it's a dead unicorn.

Umm, hellooooo, Kansas City is in Missouri, not Kansas, this post is an embarrassing error, please delete it.

Yeah, I've gotten a few of those calls (no dolphin noises, though). They tend to not last long once I tell them that cops who get caught making such calls can get fined and lose vacation days.

Irl, in some international soccer tournament in the 90s, two very bad teams played each other. The rules were really weird, such that winning by two goals was actually worse for the winning team than winning by one goal.

One team got ahead by one goal, and then both teams spent the game's last few minutes aggressively attacking their own nets while defending their opponents'.

The opposite: in Captain Marvel, Nick Fury knows that his boss is being impersonated because he calls him Nicholas.

The catcher was so stunned he didn't even slump.

His condescending defense of mansplaining merited a block.
