They played War Pigs for his entrance. Whoever made that decision deserves a medal. When Trump stepped into the Garden floor, shortly before the beginning of the 10 p.m. main card, he was met with some undeniable boos, but also, some cheering, which—mixed with a sound system loudly blasting licks o...

US sanctions Russian cybercriminal group 'Evil Corp' over $100 million hack

DC Fontana, writer for Star Trek (and several Star Trek novels, and frankly, the majority of the good ones) (though Vonda McIntyre's were also good, and I see she passed away earlier this year too)

OMG. I hope the comment about Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans is a joke because I’m not sure how a battle fought after the Treaty of Ghent was going to change the outcome of the war. https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/11/put-harriet-tubman-on-a-new-25-bill/ Didn't read the article, but there...

California no longer has at-risk students. They're all at-promise.

If you say "at-risk" then you are being doubleplusungood.

Oh, wow.

Can we change "endangered species" to "enfortuned species"?

I think the correct term is 'under-represented species.'

potential dinner species.

Handsmaid's Tale, but from the left.

Kentucky atheist can get ‘IM GOD’ license plate, US court rules

Oh yeah? Well I've got a few complaints I'd like to discuss. I've prepared a PPT stack. You should take notes.

The lack of an apostrophe makes me read this as a command to Instant Message God.

Or we can do like that one guy in Titanic; stick around to the very end, but drink a hella lot.

Yep, same thing here

I just find this amusing: The foreign ministers of Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt have been meeting in DC to resolve a dispute over a dam on the Nile, and apparently Trump was at one of the meetings . I am struggling to imagine Trump trying to discuss this with the foreign ministers of 3 African countr...

I'm sort of meh on Janice, tbh. The whole thing surounding that 'Dark Army Middle Manager' plotline just strikes me as them trying way too hard, esp for this stage of the game. Who knows, maybe it's some unconscious bias on my part, because Irving last season was awesome. It took me a bit to figure ...

Kurt Suzuki is a catcher for the Nats who wore a MAGA hat to the White House and received a bad touch from President Trump.

Now I'm glad he got beaned by that pitch.

If it works the way it does in the movies, he gets hit in the head again and becomes a Bernie Bro.

It's gotta be a bigger rush than arresting some churro abuelita.

Hey, how about them Nats?

It's kind of weird that buttons showed up so late (Wikipedia says "Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century") considering that it's not like they require any particular technology or precision to make. It sounds like they wen...

I think I learned it due to a brief allusion to it in The Wire or more likely someone commenting on the internet on that allusion.

We should just use a language that doesn't have separate male and female pronouns. Sumerian, Hittite, Chinese, and Quenya all fit the bill.

Chinese 'he' and 'she' are pronounced the same, but spelled differently. 他 vs 她

Open-plan offices are a completely different crime against humanity. I'm hoping they're on their way out, because they're never going to show any of their supposed benefits. They're not on their way out, though, because of the secret benefit that is the real driver: they're cheap. All that crap abo...

Well, she's technically a Dark Army auxiliary already, by virtue of her being a virtual bank teller for the Deus Group. Does she know exactly who she is working for? Possibly a little. Does she know the complete nexus between Cyprus Bank, Deus Group, E Corp, and the Dark Army? Probably not. But she ...

I finally caught up - I do not like at all how Esmail 'explained' the origin of Deus Group two weeks ago, but he's always been kinda shit on practical economics and how a real super duper elite would leverage that. In contrast, this week's origin story of White Rose was very well conceived and execu...

Not going to lie, I liked the past spring when the extinction rebellion closed down the streets (or rather, caused the streets to be closed down) around Westminster. It made doing to tourist thing and walking around all that a heck of lot more pleasant experience. But stopping public transit - stopp...
