As an outside observer, it seems perfectly clear that he has no intent to see any more hostages returned alive.

Felt like it was winding down in the closing days of 2016, too. Go vote! I already did, you can, too.

A slightly less boring dystopia?

Officials in Florida and Texas have said they won’t allow federal election monitors into polling sites on Tuesday. And on Monday, Missouri filed a federal lawsuit seeking a court order to block federal officials from observing inside polling places.

The Justice Department announced last week that it’s deploying election monitors in 86 jurisdictions across 27 states on Election Day. The Justice Department declined to comment on Monday on the Missouri lawsuit and the moves by other Republican-led states.

So, not being blocked yet, just announcing that they will try. How much do you want to bet that this is grandstanding by the state AGs? When the feds rock up to the volunteer county election officials with federal court orders to monitor polling and counting, you think the locals will refuse, in the face of felony charges? A few may, like that Kentucky county clerk who tried denying gay couples a marriage license post-Obergefell, but most won’t, despite what their state AG says, because they know they will be the ones facing charges, not the AGs.

The Election Research Institute is led by Heather Honey…

Based on their website, I’m pretty sure the Election Research Institute is Heather Honey.

“If your husband is mad at this ad, then this ad was made for you.”

Property manager, maybe? You don’t get fired from being a landlord, you sell the property.

He says the situation has been “blown out of proportion” and is “so bogus.”

Is this what happened to Bill S. Preston, Esq.?

EQ level on that boyfriend is off the charts.

You can wishlist it on Steam! The developer says he has been playtesting it on the Deck, too.

I don’t know about apps, but they ultimately all get it from the National Weather Service. Since it’s a government service, the website is totally free of ads and other garbage. Just use that. Weather.gov. You can search for your home, and since it uses absolute URLs, you can then bookmark the results page and just go straight to that every time.

Project 2025 wants to disband NOAA and give its functions to Accuweather instead, directing taxpayer funding to a private company while also locking all weather data behind a paywall, so they get paid twice to provide the same info NOAA currently provides with a single payment (taxpayer funding). The Accuweather founder, Joel Myers, and his brother, Billy Lee Myers (unsuccessfully nominated by Trump to be the head of NOAA), are major Republican donors, but I’m sure that is completely coincidental.

Well, that leaves Willie, last of The Highwaymen.

And that was in her graduate thesis! Also, she used Annie Jump Cannon’s stellar classification work to develop her theory.

The pagers that detonated were the latest model brought in by Hezbollah in recent months, three security sources said.

I wonder if Israel has a unit similar to the NSA’s TAO (tailored access operations) where they inserted people into the manufacturing plant to tamper with devices before they even left the factory.

Seriously, I just finished my annual “preventing harassment’ training and there’s a whole section on power differential and how just asking puts employees in a bad spot. Just…don’t.

He just won’t go away. Read the room.

Nothing about the 1995 Dredd movie? What makes a cult classic is highly subjective, but I think it should be hard to find. Makes the hunt more fun. I found out very recently that Big Trouble in Little China is not really available on streaming services. I bought the blu-ray.

Ooo, subscribed.

Definitely.

I believe the correct response is “go fuck yourself.”
