A long life, well lived is something to be celebrated. We should all lift a glass in toast and hope that we do half so well.

The University of Memphis is public institution, and as such counts as a government entity.

It's very much a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing. Back in 2016, the media reported every deranged thing that Trump said of did, and it had the effect of sucking all the air out of the room where every other candidate was concerned. Trump owned every media cycle and it was pretty easy to forget that anyone else was running. The strategy of ignoring all his craziness has drawbacks, but IMHO it is much than blindly chasing after his every provocation. Sure, the special counsel was not kind to Biden and right now his campaign would very much like to change the topic, but in a week or two America will have forgotten all about it. However, Trump can be counted on to keep bringing up the special counsel report and if the media allows him to lead them around like they did in 2016, then the public will keep hearing about and the issue will live on like Hillary's emails. IOW, the Biden campaign should be careful what they wish for.

Yeah, I am hoping that SCOTUS straightens this out soon.

In the distant future, assuming humanity gets a distant future, archeologists will simply assume that is a sculpture of a goddess.

There was not anything to explain. The idea that the super soldier formula slowed aging was never introduced into the MCU.

That is absolutely not what the Bible says. Has she even read the book?

I have one that isn't an MCU role but it is MCU adjacent in that it would be with MCU directors the Russo brothers. Apparently, back in 2019 they acquired the movie rights to Grimjack. Keanu was pretty much born to play John Gaunt.

I would have gone with a fart in the bath tub, but a glass of carbonated water works too, I guess.

She has lived a heck of life, long and full, but still it is sad to see her go. Jimmy might as well follow along after. I can't imagine that there seems like a lot to stick around for with Rosalyn gone.

Hamas In Plain Sight For Their Attack On Israel

Not a single Democrats needed to vote for McCarthy. All that needed to happen is for a dozen Democrats to say that that the Republicans needed to sort out their own messes and refrain from voting. The decisions to go all in for getting rid of McCarthy may bite them and the rest of us in the butt in 43 days, when the continuing resolution expires, and there is no one in the speaker's chair to negotiate with and the extreme right wing feels more empowered than ever.

Wow! That is big. Now anyone who wants to use Bill Willingham specific versions of the Fable characters or any new characters that he created for the series in there own projects can do so. If you want to make a Fables-based movie, TV show, RPG or play then go ahead and do it!

I don't think that it will be. McDonalds has very cheap prices on its fountain drinks. Other fast food restaurants charge over twice as much. So, other fast food restaurants can use there extra profit margin on people who don't get a refill or get only one, to cover the expense of people who go back for 4 or 5 refills. Mickey Dees not so much.

When I heard about this on the radio, I found myself saying the f-word over and over again. I wasn't saying it anger, but with more as "how can this be?". She was still so young, and she had so much life and so much charm. It just doesn't quite compute for me.

Congratulations on your new job.

I don't agree with Ms. Hoover. The standards to get up on the debate stage may be high, but Trump isn't the only one that can meet them. Ultimately, the more candidates that are on the stage, the more it favors Donald Trump. Trump has his voters locked in, and it works to his advantage to have a whole bunch of candidates fighting for the rest of the voters. That leads to a bunch of candidates with really low poll numbers for Trump to tower over. Ideally, it would be best from the standpoint of defeating Trump, if in the primaries he was running against a single, conservative, charismatic candidate who is not a Trump clone. Failing that it would be best for only a small group of rival candidates to share the stage, so as to make it relatively easy for one to break free from the pack and establish themselves as the Trump alternative.

The Flash's powers lend themselves much better to comedy than Cyborg's. Also, the whole quadruple amputee thing is a bit of a downer.

Glad to hear about the cutting back and the weight loss thing. I think that I speak for everyone here in saying that we want you around for a good long time. If you don't mind me asking, which country were you thinking of moving to?

Hmmm, I'm not sure if that is brag or a cry for help.

Not so much. Roy Thomas was basically Stan's right hand man for years, and many of the people who held grudges against Stan didn't like Roy either.

Yeah, I was thinking that about Prigozhin. To paraphrase Emerson, if you are going to shoot the king don't miss. Well, having seconds thoughts after if you pull your gun probably isn't too good for your health either.

Nebraskans Are Really Starved For Entertainment

Daveed Diggs is Jewish. His mom is Jewish and by tradition it passes in matrilineal fashion.

True I'm sure. However, when you send a notice out to everyone in an entire government agency, it is going to be very hard to figure out who leaked the notice. This is doubly true when the agency in question does not have any investigative powers.
