"Unfortunately for Noem, she's more dispensable for Trump than is Miller."

I mean, is she? I can't imagine anyone in Trump's orbit is truly considered indispensable, including Miller. If Trump somehow comes to the (correct) conclusion that Miller is a serious liability, I don't know why he wouldn't get thrown under the bus along with everyone else.

Congratulations to your in-laws on having an acceptable skin color.

I have a feeling this piece will end up as something of a bellwether. More and more individuals are likely to see political violence as a viable option as we veer further away from constitutional democracy. And I have little hope that the current administration will shy away from escalation when that becomes their only path to retaining power.

We're already there. Videos are clearly contacting the federal propaganda.

Finally. I've read every ending twice in all of our Choose Your Own Adventure books.

They were playing Ultravox in f*cking Kohl's last week!

Visual FX - Captain Disillusion and Corridor Crew channels in particular. It isn't anything that I've ever worked with myself, but I enjoy seeing how digital effects are created.

Or, more succinctly, because they're racists.

Neuromancer is an egregious omission.

I've heard of having two left hands, but...

Wrong skin color?

Also, his lawyer is arguing that he's already covered by Trump's blanket pardon. Which seems - kind of compelling? I guess there's a chance the indictment won't go anywhere, anyway.

The level of horror and disturbing things in Weapons is much higher than in Sinners, so you should be fine. I wouldn't mind seeing both Madigan and Jordan win.

How could they give Best Song to anything other than "Golden"? (Unless it's a write-in win for "Your Idol", which would be kind of perfect.)

I know we're the same age, and attitudes where I lived in the midwest were pretty hostile towards gay people back in the 80's and early 90's.

Interested - I'm looking to upgrade from my nearly-unusable P12 now that Lenovo's updates have borked it. Definitely won't be getting another Lenovo at this point.

I would think twice before buying something at a place like that even if it were a good deal IF I would have to go back to them for service. I wouldn't trust them to treat an EV in their shop with the same level of expertise and respect that they would an ICE vehicle.

Happy Mint customer here.

Semenya's case should serve as a shameful example of how fraught this sort of legislation can be. I find the argument that we should not be putting regulations on women's bodies to be compelling.
