Agree, but I was gutted that Hicks and Near we’re killed off. Their stories continued in the Dark Horse comics in the late 80s and early 90s, like Outbreak and Nightmare Asylum, which I loved.
The Whitehouse reports that soul searching has completed without a trace of a soul being found.

This is very unfair to Trump. When he said he’d end the conflict on “day 1” he was clearly referring to a day on Venus, which last 243 Earth days.
Typical cop, calling in SWAT for a bun fight.

In Mark 5:9, Jesus asks a man possessed by demons, "What is your name?" The man - or rather the demons possessing him - replies, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

When Bezos directed the Post’s opinion section to focus primarily on "personal liberties and free markets" I didn’t realise he meant the personal liberty of Donald Trump to do whatever TF he wanted to do.

Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry. — Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time
“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's fantasies.” - Donald Trump, The Art of the Deal Ah, Mr Fuckaround. Let me introduce you to Ms Findout.
Zero cost? Someone pays that $50 billion. “the majority will have to be distributed across other markets, because US consumers might swallow a 5 per cent increase, but not 20 or even 40” Explain to me how that works. Apple subsidise US sales by pushing up prices elsewhere? Make that make sense.
At no cost to whom? That $50 billion comes from somewhere. Not fully answered in the article. I hope for a bit more from the FT.
To be fair to Trump he only nominated Powell for the job and the Senate approved the nomination. Perhaps he meant it as a joke. www.bbc.co.uk/news/busines...
President Trump said Mr Powell, commanded the respect of both parties and urged swift Senate confirmation. "I am confident that Jay has the wisdom and leadership to guide our economy through any challenges," he said during the announcement in Washington. www.bbc.co.uk/news/busines...
One thing we can all agree on is that his God does indeed work in mysterious ways.

Their approach seems totally rational to me. In the interview I saw the husband looked desperate. As a convicted foreign criminal she is at high risk of deportation. They are at the whim of an uncaring, brutal system. Their best hope of reprieve lies in an appeal to the Tzar.
This quote is becoming so overused I shall henceforth refer to it as #pig2man “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” — George Orwell, Animal Farm

This is the principle of conservation of trash - that trash can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form into another. The First law of Garbodynamics.
If Serco is the answer then you’re probably asking the wrong question. Unless the question is: Who was fined £19.2 million for fraud and false accounting over its electronic tagging service for the Ministry of Justice?
Or a Tzar. Truth is, we’ve never found a better solution than just chucking the whole mess at Jenkins and hoping for the best. (Adjusts monocle, accidentally drops it into brandy snifter)

Katie Ledecky is an astonishing athlete. She has 17 of the 20 fastest ever long course 800m freestyle times by a woman, and all of the top 20 fastest LC 1500 free times. But her world-record times at 800 and 1500 are both slower than the *qualifying* times for men at the Paris olympics.
“His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are … He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.”
“When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false.”
Also “greatly reducing our federal deficit”. I don’t think he’s a liar so much as a bullshitter. He just doesn’t care what the truth is. Harry Frankfurt’s On Bullshit is a useful guide for these times.

It’s important to know what she proposes the death penalty *for*. She mentions Christian values, so perhaps blasphemy?
Excellent thread. My only quibble is with the word “looks”.

Reminds me of this classic Daily Mash article from 2013: *The Labour-Falkirk controversy explained* - The Labour Party is a poisonous collection of chippy, tribal cretins, none of whom are capable of running a bath. - This is especially true in Scotland. - Falkirk is in Scotland.
Not in the habit of quoting Nietzsche but this came to mind when watching a Curtis film: “Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity.” — Nietzsche, The Gay Science (§173)
