Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy
Boooooooo
I’ve got my eye on those German shepherds. They seem to do it for the love of the game.
Checking my notes, I have: “the horses don’t but Paw Patrol does”
my favorite notre dame story is my best friend from high school, a no-shit genius who also liked to party, did a weekend visit there as a high school senior. the kid he was visiting with passed out at the happy hour on friday night. my buddy went home and applied to UVA.
he was quite positive in telling me that I had not used the proper terms in talking to an Admiral, but at the same time he admitted he couldn't think of a better way to explain my point. There was complete agreement that the Admiral had the right to go anyplace he wanted.
"Don't you worry about me, just carry on, you can see I'm well-protected," as he pointed to his orderly. We "carried on," the Admiral continued forward in the direction we had come from and the war ended shortly afterwards. When my company captain heard about this incident that night,
When he drew abreast, I said, "Sir, what i hell are you doing up here?" "Just taking my daily walk," he said. When I explained we had just killed a Japanese soldier the day before, and it was dangerous up here, he smiled and said,
It was Admiral of the Fleet Chester Nimitz the supreme commander of the entire Pacific. The figure behind him was his Marine orderly, dressed in starched khaki and armed with a 45 pistol in a shiny holster.
Suddenly, the forward scouts began to signal and point ahead of them. Quickly getting up to them I saw a naval officer walking towards our position with a solitary figure following him about 25 paces behind. This man turned out to be not just any naval officer! but one with 5 stars on his collar.
with a grenade in his hand, but he was quickly dispatched. On the 7th day my platoon had been assigned to patrol the open high ground behind the harbor at Guam and close to the Headquarters of the Pacific Fleet. I had two scouts spread out in front and several on each side of the platoon.
This was accomplished by lining up the division across one end of the island, almost shoulder to shoulder, and walking to the other end. Of course, the hills, rivers and jungles made it a little tough to stay abreast. On the 6th day we had found one Japanese soldier up a tree,
I was still with Baker Company, 3rd Marines, but had now been put in charge of the 3rd Rifle Platoon. At the same time, we had never completely finished the job of cleaning out all the Japanese left on Guam. So once more the division was ordered to sweep the island.
Guam itself had changed fantastically in the year since I had been there. There were large B-29 airstrips, miles of warehouses, a huge naval base, and they had moved the headquarters of all the Pacific Naval Forces from Pearl Harbor to Guam.
Copied from some stories he typed up in the late 90s when we got him a computer: MY LAST PATROL It was 1945. The 3rd Marine Division had been returned to Guam after participating in the invasion of Iwo Jima, and we were very actively training for the invasion of Japan.
It is not in my nature to compliment a West Pointer, so you know I mean it when I say thanks Col. Underwood. This Kind of Academy:
they voted and politic for impunity.
it would also be very effective to show that the government (the parts that are helpful to you) is shut down but sections like ICE are still getting paid/bonuses/etc. build that resentment.
I owe you the story of how my grandfather almost shot him
Because we’re in the dumbest timeline tiring him and reversing the sales slump would also probably tank the share price
i only make fun because i'm jealous and desperately want the opportunity to drive one.
i hope some hero with a truth social account is making sure that article makes it into trump's feed
i mean, about the only thing they'd be useful for is NOT sinking with that armor belt
"what's this?" it's an AA gun tub "what do we do with it?" we sit in it and get our ears blown out by 16"ers
hey don't suggest he do the coolest thing possible!
ER docs love The Pitt apparently
i'll be pissed if they march one actual step. just hovering the whole time.
Hhahaha as someone with a decent amount of experience with the Navy, if you didn't like Army's marching ... you're gonna hate ours. Real "let's bring in the REAL experts" moment here.
WW1 is outside my wheelhouse, but podcast land sent me down a rabbit hole last week on german massacres in belgium 1914. not to disagree with your point, just felt that history went against the sentiment we see regularly that nazis could do what they did because they spent WW1 with bayonets.
oh man i've got a whole rant on that money/time/single parenting thing in baseball - the whole industry is insane. think we can add to the list, downstream of geography, hours of just driving around, sitting on the sidelines, tinkering on facebook/tiktok.
this is how i know i'm getting old. i see that and think "oh man, he must be so sad"
It’s the same dumb ass behavior: playing dress up
Also seen in truck form where a brand new stock truck demands 10k in after market parts, only to be traded in 2 years later, without ever engaging 4wd. Also known by my buddies who build Baja racers as Parking Lot Princesses
ugh, you know there's gonna be a pregnancy involved.
It all clicked for me when someone pointed out that these guys are just playing Barbies, accessorizing and obsessively collecting. Just sitting at home brushing their guns' hair.
take that, MOM
any good folks closely following the Ravens?
remembering fondly that time i smoked a cigarette: "this is gonna pay off down the road"
you wouldn't believe how many stores are only open in december for christmas
Side eyeing bay park here
Captain Planet voice: “eyebags!”
*whispers* I actually think this is the most likely move in the next 30 years but also I made the mistake of reading the preface to a WW1 history this afternoon that sounded unfortunately prescient about stacks of causes and indicators and there’s a decent chance I’m trying to drown that out…
@rodger.bsky.social did they tell you about when you had to commute to work in uniform (camo) but had to wear a high vis vest if you were riding a motorcycle? It was very funny and very not tough looking
That’s not how radar works, or undersea drones. What a moron
“Lethality”
say what you will about donald trump he got cracker barrel to put the gay guy back in its logo
(As somebody with bad handwriting, definitely would strategically smudge some numbers on those history essays)
First things first, we still need an accessible data set for crime rates in rural areas, small towns and small cities. No more of this “population over 100k” nonsense.
“We need a new pen, we ran out of zeroes”
i, for one, count abuses by federal agents as “crimes” and thus the proposition that masked agents swaggering around cities terrorizing and brutalizing local citizens “lowers crime” because fewer kids smoke weed on street corners is absurd & false
Grand jury nullification here we come
“I will seize every lifted truck you buy with your ICE recruitment bonus and personally give it to a refugee”
“Over my dead body” plays!
we definitely need a good data set on crime rates in small towns and cities, < 100k population.
Would you struggle if you saw the national guard get deployed to Oklahoma for "Hurricane Relief"? It's obviously pretextual bullshit, based on the dozens of cities more dangerous than DC.
and confer arbitrary benefits on companies he does like, and he does both all the time. Giving him a 9.9% stake for free might be a good deal, just to get him on your side."
"I used to have an “Elon Markets Hypothesis,” where the value of a company was determined not by its cash flows but by its proximity to Elon Musk. But now we have a world where President Trump can inflict arbitrary harm on companies he doesn’t like,
hes back today!

id love to see the space by the airport approved as well, that some terrible people got shut down - or paused ? - last year
my first place here long time ago was at 14th and broadway. it was a ghost town walking home from the bars, empty lots and abandoned buildings. now you'd be walking past bars, restaurants, parks, and apartments. its great. needs more, and we need more shelter space.
credit where due: new build in golden hill next to the 5, the east village buildup, all the new mission valley construction. not due: large complex north of balboa at the 5, trolley stop at clairemont dr & the 5, clairemont town sq housing plan - all stuck in development hell, all transit adjacent
there are *certain* lots i see driving around that drive me insane that they're not full of multi-story apartment buildings. either no one will do it or they're trapped in planning hell.
"i bought this *time piece* to show that i am a baller, but alas i am not a baller, i am sad little baby boy, so it sits in my dresser until the cops come out and escort me to and from my uber so i can use my wrist to display my alpha-ness"
"wearing their watches again" is the single most loser thing i've ever read
eligible for the deduction. The deduction is available only to non-real estate professionals who own at least a 10% interest in a rental property that they actively manage and that operates at a loss during a particular tax year"
also, rental losses: "Up to $25,000 may be deducted as a real estate loss per year as long as the individual's adjusted gross income (AGI) is $100,000 or less. The deduction phases out for individuals earning between $100,000 and $150,000. People with higher adjusted gross incomes are not ...

I know we’ve said these people are bumbling idiots and I tend to agree but to start with Bolton and Pompeo seems … eerily smart. Testing the fences level.
Ctrl + F: wife
It makes me so unrealistically happy
Haha that’s the guy that made me laugh the most. I’m old now but I still remember thinking, “… this guy? But he’s pretending to be a baby? I’m so confused…” And I’m still confused.
(It’s ok it’s a joke and I have years before I have to deal with the healthy dating issue)
I’m over here with the daughters like “what did we learn? That’s right, they’re evil demons.”
And they’ll remember that their dad wasn’t too cool to take them
This vibe is only partially explained by going to palo alto a month ago and seeing rows and rows of campers where the kids who work at these places are living.
It is such a shame that Ohio state and Yale have such excellent history programs, yet Jimothy Dimothy seems to have completely avoided engagement with both. Just like lawyers shouldn’t do history, neither should “philosophy majors”
My vibey answer that I only have anecdotal evidence for is that tech is very close to a full reset on the VC model and the training pipeline- and that churn is going to throw a lot of other systems out of whack
Agree generally, I just think the financial panic is the glue that makes it systemic. A lot of mortgage back securities on data center spaces, etc.
Listen, lots of folks in DoD are true believers but still angle very hard for good duty stations - enough so that if you send them to run a jail for not criminals in bumfuck nowhere, they’ll consider it a punishment
I want him to get public sainthood for the drug company so we can convince him to build Cuban Brand (tm) homeless shelters and public housing.
AI industry collapse/reset is at the top of my list for “snap” candidates.

I had the old leaf and it was great except for range. New one is supposed to rectify that, at like $32k?
Over 2 years ago, when my daughters were 6 and 3 (almost 4), I dropped them at my sisters’ in Brooklyn while I had a work trip in Manhattan. They took the train for 4 straight days and were in love. They’re not even city kids and they’re tougher than Duffy
Found this stuff by accident and it’s amazing. Not a gin guy but it works for me

Right? Little trial, little underway time…
The point is not that they’re survivable. The point is that they need to be dealt with. And we used to deploy PCs and MCMs across the world too, it’s possible
Get back in there and don’t come out until you’ve designed me a nuke powered ice breaker, USCG
