Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

NEW: Trump's Department of Homeland Security bought an Atlanta-area warehouse it's converting into a migrant jail.
I found the LLC selling the warehouse shares a DC address with The Carlyle Group, the Baltimore Orioles new owner's private equity firm.
All the pieces matter. issa new [eyeblack]:
I wouldn't say I liked it, but just on the merits passing a bunch of tariffs that he didn't remotely understand, all of which made everything at the grocery store cost either $7.99 or $13.99, really was one of President Trump's better policies.
Whose idea was it to give the O's printable schedule a black background? I am not made of printer ink!
Jesus.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors
The FBI searching Hannah Natanson’s home for classified documents is an attack on the first amendment meant to chill sources and journalism. Her reporting this year has been outstanding.

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.
It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.
BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.
For someone with such a titanic life and career, my first thought on hearing the news was of his guest appearance on 30 Rock. "Magnolia Bakery? Sorry, hips!" What a tremendous loss.
BREAKING: Waingro has endorsed Andrew Cuomo
Julianna Moore you will always be Nancy Donovan to me no matter how much I love you in Magnolia and all your wonderful Todd Haynes movies
I'd never fault anyone for this as someone who associates many A-Listers with their 30 Rock guest roles ahead of their award winning performances
Has this World Series consistently featured the highest quality of baseball? No. Has it featured the widest array possible of beautiful, weird, specific baseball delights? Yes.
Bring whatever angle you want as far as your rooting interest in this World Series. Mine's all about watching the greatest living ballplayer do what he does best

Surprised this guy didn’t call them lunatics, haters, and punk trash
Began the day by seeing an extremely misguided take about video stores but don't worry: I am working on something about video stores for a currently thriving video store right now!

One last thing: the idea that nostalgia is what makes people think fondly of video stores is misplaced. Rarely do people come in for the "video store feel" (which we don't really have anyway). It's usually as a response to a fractured, expensive, and inconsistent digital marketplace.
Particularly wild thing to say when the digital landscape is either walled behind one of a dozen subscription options, on a free streamer with lazily placed pharmaceutical ads, or available as a shitty pirated copy on 123movies
Even if this person broadly meant corporate rental shops like Blockbuster/Hollywood Video (where I still had great and diverse renting experiences growing up), you can't say "video stores" and expect people not to come in with their own set of experiences
Setting aside the thorny falsehood of "unprecedented media abundance," working at a video store for the past five years has introduced me to countless new movies, experiences, and people (many I now consider friends). I'll take the communal experience over any digital landscape no matter the scope.
I currently work at a video store and the best part of my shift is talking to everyone about what they thought of movies they just returned, excitement over what they're about to watch, and recommending movies to each other. It makes a largely solitary experience into something genuinely communal!
