He did make several appearances at 3B in his career.

Been doing that for a good 50 years. Often more than once.

I first saw it when I was about 15. That was a long time ago, and I've seen a lot of movies since, but this has and always will be my favorite.

Conrad Veidt also donated his earnings to the war effort to defeat Germany.

imagine being a history buff and getting this random tattoo on your chest that you look at every day in the mirror and then when you watch history documentaries for the next 20 years you never notice that all the nazi uniforms had your chest tattoo on their hats?

Problem is they need laps in order to better diagnose the issue for a fix. Treating like a mini test session should be ok, and they can always pull in earlier if it gets too bad. And sponsors still want the cars on the track.

Honda and Fernando - a match made in hell.

I'd prefer he find out that the devil is real.

@kaitlancollins.bsky.social is about the only press person in the room who consistently pushes back on administration bullshit. Good for her and more need to do it.

I know it's super reductive to keep comparing the U.S. to declining empires of history, but I do feel like we've been speed-running the last century of the British Empire over the past 25-30 years or so. And now we're getting our own Suez Crisis.

I was so proud to be one of her constituents for most of her run in Congress. She's now the Mayor of what I still consider my hometown, Oakland, CA.

Heck yes! I wish he hadn't gotten punted on that last restart - would have loved to see if he could have gotten to Reddick. He was running fast enough before that last caution.

I've felt much the same way. Then I got up this morning to take a shower and the handle broke - no water. Off to the hardware store, it's now fixed, but it just made me feel even worse. Then I saw a post about a local indoor flea market getting 1000 new DVDs...retail therapy incoming!

Yup, it's a perspective alright, but will Carney have the same reasoning if Trump invades Cuba for some specious reason? My fear in all of this is an even more emboldened Trump. Venezuela was episode 1, Iran ep 2, where is ep 3, all with no real follow up plan? And Carney should know this by now.

I've seen the same and my response has been giving in to a bully just gets you bullied even more.

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

The US and Israel slaughter over 50 children in a single night and play pretend that they're the good guys.

Canada embarrasses itself to be available to get whatever scraps of war crimes it can

When a country endorses something like US/Israel illegally starting a war with Iran, as Canada just has, they own a piece of it, whatever the outcome ends up being. And the worst part is we have absolutely no control over that outcome. We just signed onto it anyway.

The timing is uhhhh...I have no words to describe it. It was bad enough that she was doing this to begin with, but now? This administration thinks foreign relations are a joke.

So yeah, Trump tears up the nuke deal negotiated by Obama and that they were abiding by, only to bomb them to they can't have nukes. Nice logic there, fella.

So you support the actions of the guy who tore up the treaty to end the Iran nuke program and instead do it by bombing them into oblivion? Right....

If you think Carney's statement will make any difference to Trump in the end, I have a Gordie Howe bridge to sell you. He should have just shut the hell up. Pragmatism is what has gotten us into this mess to begin with, and caving to a bully just gets you bullied more.

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.

As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos.

When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
