I personally really liked Lanterns, but also I find it really easy to meet a story on its own terms. I've done that with every thing Gunn and Safran have put out thus far and Supergirl was the only one that left me disappointed

"Among the first to appear before the judge was Angel, a 13-year-old. He had no attorney. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked “I don’t know,” Angel said, bursting into tears: “I have no one. I have nothing.” www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

Gonna be clipping a lot of my videos from Denver Porch Fest to post here but what an amazing day! 7 hours with seven different bands across multiple genres and styles. Got an album, a t-shirt, some lemonade and a few other things. Best day of my life so far?

Why won’t network evening news broadcasts show their audience video of Trump dozing off during press events in the Oval Office in the middle of the day while people are talking, as he’s done dozens and dozen of times? Is that not newsworthy? Is it impolite? Will you lose access?

Guys, you don't even know, the whole essays back then on the juxtaposition of how Kylo put Poe on board and interrogated him compared to carrying Rey back to the shuttle like he's Dracula and instead of looming over her when she wakes up like Poe, he's crouched before her. HIM WILLING UNMASKING!!!!

No offense to Jon Watts, who makes enjoyable movies and tv shows, but this feels so safe a choice when they’ve already declined a Scott Z. Burns/Steven Soderbergh/Adam Driver movie and ghosted Rian Johnson and Leslye Headland, as far as we know.

"Just weeks out from midterms that are shaping up to be a bloodbath for Republicans, Trump and his minions are resorting to blaming Biden every opportunity for the fact Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the economy. But the fact of the matter is that Trump has no one to blame but himself."

It's like saying Luke is overshadowed by Vader, or Obi-wan is overshadowed by Anakin. Rey and Ben are the emotional ❤️ of the sequel trilogy just as the other pairs are the emotional hearts of their respective trilogies. Rey is not overshadowed by having a relationship story.

Aside from the naked imperialism here, and cash grab, he admits it’s a war. A war without UN or congressional approval. A war which Rubio denied was a war and claimed was a law enforcement action. Trump as ever undermines his own people’s claims. It was a war. An illegal imperial one.

They can't help themselves. They lie by saying he "entered illegally." He entered with DHS permission under the CBP One program. Literally waited for an appointment to become available and entered with his appointment exactly as the U.S. government told him he should.
CLAIM: This illegal alien is here legally.

FACT: This is false. This person is in the U.S. illegally. He entered illegally under the Biden Administration. The illegal alien had no valid work permit, had no protective status, and had a final order of removal from a Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration Judge.
