In important decision for separation of powers, court rules Trump cannot fire court-appointed US Attorney, which would circumvent Senate’s role of advice and consent. If Trump wants to replace him, Trump must nominate a confirmable candidate. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

The part that struck me was their insistence that they know the kids at the UT game "aren't assimilated" because despite being at a football game and having the same shitty fashion sense and the same goofy hand gestures as white fans, they still look Indian. Gives the game away.

These bigots like to talk about assimilation because it sounds like they're scoring people on their behavior rather than their genes. But when people are behaving exactly like their ideal of all-American sports-lovin' too-big-pastel-shirt wearin' bros, it still doesn't count.

Good to see the picture (bald man pointing at CRT screen) that launched a thousand digital effects publicity poses. I feel compelled to post this classic meta image, a witty satire of wheels within wheels, that graced the pages of Cinefex 77.
Master cartoonist and visual effects supervisor John Van Vliet (L) and digital artist William Arance make an amusing gesture during the making of "My Favorite Martian" (1999). Picture specially posed and then printed, with tongue in cheek, in Cinefex 77.

Yet they need to. I’m convinced one of the reasons the national news won’t report on Trump’s child rape is it sounds icky and they don’t want to offend their viewers. TOUGH SHIT. It happened, and people need to think about it, be reminded of it. Do you really think it’s acceptable behavior?
