I like to replace "slams" with "whines about" when I'm skimming headlines.
If present-day Israel were a movie, it would be titled "Israel 2: Stupid Sequel Unrelated to the First Movie".
I was entirely unaware that Rodrigo Duterte, ex-president of the Philippines, was arrested by the ICC in 2025 and is standing trial for crimes against humanity. And there are others.
There's hope.

Why can't I buy "32x36, but like it's been worn for several years"? I don't want to have to actually measure my waist every time I buy pants. Nobody needs that kind of negativity in their lives.

Can we just jump to the part where they rename it "Visual Copilot" and quietly remove it from their product offerings?

Let's get this straight:
During the rescue operation for the F-15E crewman, the US found it necessary to intentionally destroy two (2) C-130s and four (4) MH-6 or AH-6 helicopters...
And nobody serving on the crews of the six (6) additional aircraft which were "intentionally destroyed" was lost?
Like, we just brought six (6) extra aircraft over there to blow up because "American Exceptionalism"?
Seems to me there's a LOT more to this story.

Writing a book about dinosaurs with section headings like "Tyrannosaurus Text" and "Velocichapter".
Ironic to see the case for neutering the Iranian theocracy being made by people attempting to turn the US into a theocracy.
From now on I'm only going to rank the wealthy by how many strangers' medical debt they've erased. Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel are presently at the top of the leaderboard.
Any other names of which I should be aware?
