Update: I have now done the first of these two things and it turns out there's an achievement for it! Also I learned recently that despite being a witch's pet, Pyewacket from Bell, Book and Candle is a Siamese and I had misremembered this whole time, so I guess this newly acquired black cat...

Sounds to me like the noise is the purpose of the helicopters. They're aiming to rile up the citizens to the point where they'll try to Do Something About It, justifying retaliatory action from the military.

Imagine running for office on a platform of "I have a time machine and I know how to use it." There's more than a few really good sci-fi stories in there.

A bill to ban data brokers from existing was never going to get enough support to pass anyway. It would bankrupt half the tech industry, and if there's any industry that has both parties in their pockets, it's those guys.

So long as we've got a time machine to deal with the openly-fascist arm of the Republican Party, might as well go back to the 1940s when they started branding everyone who had traveled to Spain to aid in the Civil War as "Communists."

I stopped reading at "a senior Hamas figure said."

Almost certainly. What I want to know is how they got Netanyahu on board. He's the one with the anti-Palestinian agenda here, and isn't just chasing clout.

The catch is that if it works, Donald Goddamn Trump will get to take the credit for the sort of thing that tends to win Nobel Peace Prizes (and not the bullshit kind that Obama got for just existing), and we'll never hear the end of it.

I've heard of the "Night of the Long Knives" before, but only ever described in an ominous and vague way that made it sound like it involved rounding up everyone in the government and military who opposed him or wasn't 100% on board with his rise to power and having them murdered, possibly in a...

Counterpoint to your first paragraph: The most significant privately owned video game company out there right now is Valve, and they're infamous for sitting on all of their IPs and making no games whatsoever.

Oh, when you said he was going to destroy the film industry I thought you meant all the other countries are going to respond with retaliatory tariffs and tank Hollywood's overseas market. And I was frankly all for that because the hell with America's cultural imperialism and movies that cost so...

The problem is that eventually there won't be anywhere left to pretend to be from that won't have similar restrictions.

Does your browser give you a way to scroll through a list of all the pages you've visited recently? Firefox does and I find that very useful for hunting down specific pages I didn't think to bookmark, especially if I can remember a specific word for the title or narrow the visit down to a day or...

If someone wanted to "bribe" me to say or do something I was planning on saying or doing anyway, I wouldn't turn it down either.

I say impeach them all and start over, so long as we're wishing for the impossible (a Democrat with actual balls ever becoming President again).

I wonder if there were people in the 1800s claiming Disraeli wanted to force England to go kosher.

To add to Steevy's post: traditional over-the-air stations/channels remain separate from the networks they pull content from, and despite a glut of content they could be pushing, network feeds still have limited hours of operation leaving space (afternoons, often all day Sunday, overnight) for...

If nothing else, anyone who was unsure whether their local ABC affiliate was Sinclair-owned or not is about to find out.

The funny thing is, I think it's mostly the politically-middle-of-the-road people, the kind of people who get called "normies" and "consoomers" by the left and "NPCs" by the right, who made this happen. Because that's the sort of people who actually pay for Disney+ and trips to their theme...

And it's honestly wild that that's somehow still us.
