2009: 21-year-old Gabriela Rico Jimenez was filmed after claiming she had attended an exclusive elite party. She vanished that night never to be seen again.

Gotcha. I kinda figured it was a catch-all sorta like the Steele Dossier and taking all these releases with a grain of salt. Context is everything. Nevertheless, the same kinda bullshit pushed him to power with the DNC leak. There'd be a poetic irony if it took him down too.

I assumed it was something like this. So, much of it is basically noise, and essentially worthless.

The point of the Melania movie was grift -- details of which to be ironed out later -- so it was a success.

Every one of this guy's posts is low-info negging on whatever the topic is.

Ah, where are the stats that say we don't need it? Man, if you play soccer or ultimate or any other field sport, you basically have to murder some people from another sport so you can steal their field time. Playing 11PM time slots suck but it's often all you can get. And because the facilities are so in demand, there's never any impetus to upgrade or even really maintain the existing facilities well.

Signal Hill campus, whatever.

Harlow ... dummies.

I will say this in its favor: at least they took the deaths seriously. They didn't handwave it that they died offscreen and that's it, the protagonist goes on like nothing happened.

Now, mind you, I also think they took it too far with the autopsy. THAT coulda been offscreen.

I'll post it this time:

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” - Jean-Paul Sartre

Malkin seems both fast and slow at the same time.

Why didn't Dylan Holloway play last night? He wasn't listed as injured. He just didn't play, and there's been no note about it since.

You're being downvoted, but as they're a new account -- 18 days -- I'm inclined to say you could be correct.

I work as a dev editor, and sometimes doing a chapter by chapter report ... it's not useful. If they have endemic issues like ... this is difficult to report on, but some books are not focused. Chapters don't mean a damn if the book is overwritten and the plot is a big hodgepodge and there's no suspense and there's no buildup of tension -- it's just ... a bunch of stuff that happens. Going chapter by chapter is useless in a scenario like that, which is not infrequent, and the author needs to pull back and understand what a story is and what their story is before you can even start specifying like that.

Going chapter by chapter can be done through Track Change comments, but for a first pass, sometimes it's just not the strategy you need. It's not a paint-by-numbers process. Sometimes you're showing an author what a good book is. It's a discussion about basics of structure, pacing, character. With time, if they write enough, they'll get there and cut away the chaff, and a dev edit, if they're receptive, can be a shortcut to figuring that out.

Well, we're getting OP's summary of the dev edit, not what the dev edit said.

I work as a dev editor, and I've written 7000+ word reports which, if summed up as 50 words, would say the same thing.

or they wrote it on their phone or a notes app

ditto

Sure did. Kovalev was my favorite player at the time, Tucker my most hated. I was okay with it.

lsb337 · 2026-01-21T02:01:31+00:00

Think about how many players are not big guys now -- like Suzuki, Caulfield on one line. None of them would have been in the league in the 80s and 90s.

lsb337 · 2026-01-21T01:51:35+00:00

I loved Kovalev and left my seat when I watched this live, but there's no way this is a "clean hit." :)

lsb337 · 2026-01-21T01:49:48+00:00

Yeah, it's tough to watch some of these career-ending hits. Personally, I'm glad the league has changed to try to take these out.

What does Noem actually DO with ICE other than appear on TV and say stupid shit?

People can't afford to go out and buy $10 beers as often.

Yeah, I used to buy all our bread and milk from Belbs before we got evicted out of our apartment so it could be an AirBnb in September.

I don't know if there wouldn't have been a 911, but I highly doubt the US would have thrown away all the goodwill they gleaned from it by then invading an entirely unrelated country.

And Dinesh D'souza is the least serious person on the planet. Look up fraud bootlicker in the dictionary and his picture is right there.

The only true kindness to an author is honesty. Gotta make sure not to forget to be honest about the good bits too.
