From the archives: Chuck Norris and his wife, Gena, warn of '1,000 years of darkness' if Obama wins in 2012...

@TrueSlazac @chowell2000 @CameronCorduroy @nikitabier This whole "get Americans mad" for money thing didn't exist until recently, punish is a strong word.
Maybe EU eyeballs should try to be more valuable.

@chowell2000 @CameronCorduroy @nikitabier I think there are better ways to deal with nigerian slop posters than punishing entire continents

Garcia: While you were being assaulted, you told the agents that you had filmed this on your phone?
Bazan: Yes.
Garcia: And that’s when they took your phone away. These agents didn’t just take your phone. They sold it. They pawned it at a kiosk for $250. Is that correct?
Bazan: Yes.

This is quite a story about the enormous losses Russian forces are suffering. I have read the full Russian-language report linked below (I am a native speaker), and can confirm it amply documents these conclusions (based on original Russian military docs provided by an officer who defected).

We already knew the Kremlin was sending men to die in Ukraine. But a new @dossier_center investigation based on leaked military records shows it's far worse than anyone imagined. For soldiers in front-line assault units, the odds of surviving the war are approaching zero. (Read on)

@DerekPederson3 My understanding is that it’s not enforcing laws on either side

Very few people who agree with both of these correct claims:
A) The settler movement in the West Bank are modern-day fascists, and the Netanyahu government's implicit endorsement of the recent rein of terror there against Palestinians is not only morally repugnant but potentially catastrophic for the future of Israel and the region.
B) The IDF did not systematically target civilians in the Gaza Strip and I still have no idea why that became consensus when it's pretty obvious to me that, even if the IDF were simply *indifferent* to civilian loss of life, they would have easily killed orders of magnitude more people than they actually did kill, and in a much shorter time frame. And it would not even really be that unusual for urban combat.

Viktor Orbán ordered a military no-fly zone over the entire county where we held our campaign event today. He then uploaded a drone photo to his Facebook page that had been taken before our event. He doesn’t even follow his own decree, and he used the police to do it.
This is an abuse of power.
Farmers are not allowed to spray their fields, yet the prime minister instructs the police to produce a misleading photo of a TISZA event.

Fun fact: Lucas liked The Last Jedi, unlike the installments that Abrams directed. The reason is simple, and revealed here—he wanted something new. Further, the crap that the worst and most negative fans pile on Rian Johnson for Luke Skywalker's arc? That was heavily based on Lucas's own original ideas—a broken Luke in self-imposed exile, haunted by a betrayal of a student, cut off from the Force, and acting as a mentor to a young female protagonist only reluctantly.
Hottest of takes here, but Rian Johnson was simply one of the best directors we ever had on a mainline Star Wars installment, and the fandom is full of childish idiots that should have been ignored. He has the originality of Lucas, respected his vision, and is innovative and the master of his craft. He managed to get more emotion out of the actors for Rey, Kylo, and Luke than Abrams ever did, and his special effects were interesting and spectacular. The throne room scene in particular was truly great.
That more people do not appreciate what Johnson did is because they are philistines. He should have been allowed to direct and write all three installments. Somewhere in an alternative universe, people there got to enjoy a sequel trilogy that wasn't childish and derivative trash. I'm jealous.

Bob Iger on George Lucas' disappointment after seeing The Force Awakens: "He didn’t hide his disappointment. ‘There’s nothing new,’ he said. In each of the films in the original trilogy, it was important to him to present new worlds, new stories, new characters, and new technologies. In this one, he said, ‘There weren’t enough visual or technical leaps forward.’ He wasn’t wrong, but he also wasn’t appreciating the pressure we were under to give ardent fans a film that felt quintessentially Star Wars. We’d intentionally created a world that was visually and tonally connected to the earlier films, to not stray too far from what people loved and expected, and George was criticizing us for the very thing we were trying to do." Was George right in his criticism?

Of course Project Hail Mary has a millennial sense of humor, what's a zoomer sense of humor? Blurting out random numbers and listing the cookie companies you think are too Jew-coded?

In 1975, US Marine Oliver Sipple saved Pres. Ford from assassination, grappling with the shooter in SF.
After, Harvey Milk outed him, hoping to dispel the stereotype of cowardly gays. But Sipple wasn't out, and his parents disowned him to his face. He died at 47 from alcoholism.

The murderer of the two Palestinians in Qaryout two weeks ago hasn't been arrested, despite being caught on tape. More pogroms are the immediate result of impunity.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are now attacking the village of Qaryout in the West Bank, setting Palestinian homes and cars on fire and attempting to burn families alive. They killed 2 Palestinians in the same village two weeks ago.

Four years ago when Ken Starr died, Bill Clinton stated he read the obituary and realized "his family loved him," which he considered "something to be grateful for.” Clinton added he was taught not to speak ill of the deceased, saying, "I have nothing to say.” #trump
