Here's What We Know We know that this is not about Iran’s people, it’s about Iran’s oil and wealth.

"We know that Israel has broken the so-called ceasefire agreement in Gaza hundreds of times with no consequence from the United States. Is this a partnership we want to take into yet another endless and destabilizing war?"

Republicans in the states are trying to decriminalize running over protesters, a favorite hobby of right wingers.

Great voice actor as well. Was memorable in a radio play of Daphne DuMaurier’s The Birds a full decade before Hitchcocks loose adaptation.

Herbert Marshall in The Fly.

Herbert Marshall in The Fly.

Herbert Marshall lost a leg in world war one, and went on to become a leading man in Hollywood. He worked to help injured troops after becoming famous, especially amputees. #TheFilmcrowd

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

Body cam footage shows Kenneth Jackson, the Trump-installed new USIP President; Laken Rapier, Jackson’s Chief-of-Staff; DOGE workers Nate Cavanaugh and Justin Fox; and DOGE lawyer Justin Aimonetti were present at the raid. MPD let them in through a side door, despite USIP staff's objections.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Oh.

“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR? (1965)! Evocatively shot on location in stark black and white, the daringly ahead of its time Joseph Cates's film—presented here in its long-unseen, fully uncensored form—is a relentlessly tawdry time capsule of midsixties Times Square.

You can add the civilians who’ve died for the same reason. We’re all pawns in their game. Or we’re all checkers. Or we’re all scratch-off lottery tickets in their global playground.

If Biden had hosted a WH event on the frivolous topic of college sports while bombing Iran, legacy media reporters would have ripped him a new one. Reporters clearly are more pro-Trump than the average American. I think it’s because it’s easier to cover Trump’s spectacles than policy reporting.

A drunken driver's car crash left him paralyzed. Now he's a Paralympian. Steve Emt was a walk-on basketball player at the University of Connecticut before a drunk driving accident changed the direction of his life.

Good for him but this is nothing to celebrate. Perhaps if he didn't kill anyone when he had his accident. A very good friend of ours, the father of two young daughters was murdered by a drunk driver 30 years ago. It was a devastating loss. He never went to prison.

I don’t see any evidence that he hurt anyone but himself. I see the point about not differentiating between lethal and nonlethal drunk driving because only chance distinguishes them. But the punishment has to fit the crime, and it sounds like some who do kill people aren’t sufficiently punished.
