I feel like I’ve watched a variation of that game 30+ times in the last 5 years Opponent jumps out to a 10 pt lead early on Hawks cut the led to 7 then get a turnover which sets them up for a TD drive FG for a 3 point lead and grind it out for the rest of the game

It’s kind of funny how John Le Carre is held up as the gold standard of spy novels and the theme of most of his stuff is basically “espionage is not some grand adventure, it’s a miserable job that breaks people and usually doesn’t even matter”.

listening to a lot of audiobooks lately and I just came across one where the final book in a series got released like 10 years after its predecessor. same narrator, except in 10 years he forgot how to do the voice and now the main character has a noticeable Boston accent.

One of the more galling things about Trump surrounding himself with pretty young blond Republican women who don’t seem to have any real qualifications is the sputtering indignation when anyone suggests there may be something untoward bout that whole situation.

Anyone who’s been alive since the early 80’s will recall that these people the OP is QTing will trot out this “conservatism is the new punk rock” line every couple years in some vain attempt to argue that they appeal to “the youths” It’s not true, but they desperately want it to be

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

They're taught separately from others because they continually hurt other kids. The kid who targeted my son (another special ed kid) in the gen ed setting took multiple incidents of violence over the course of YEARS of elementary school before he was finally moved to a separate classroom.

Shawn McCreesh Reporting as part of the White House press pool

I'm one of the small number of journalists traveling with the White House press pool tonight. We were in a hall just outside the ballroom when the commotion first rang out.
Several things happened in quick succession.
Tuxedoed agents pulled out guns and began running toward the ballroom. White-jacketed caterers screamed and bolted for stairwells.
Pandemonium reigned as top cabinet officials were evacuated.
Robert Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines, came out and were ushered intr an
elevator. Then Jeanine Piro emerged. The F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, came tearing across the hallway with two men in tow; his girlfriend was hiding in a room with another man who was holding her hand, Reporters are about to be taken back into the ballroom.
The show will go on, apparently.
