Oh boy, are people only finding out about this now?
Because this was happening 20 years ago in my Marine Corps JROTC program in Hawai'i.
Basically if you didn’t register for classes, you got placed in JROTC. As unit Admin Chief I had 20+ empty files of “ghost cadets.”

I have serious about concerns about the recent New York Times investigation that found that students from across the country—particularly students of color and students from low-income backgrounds—are being forced to join JROTC programs.
I’m getting to the bottom of this.

Bill Watterson and Berkeley Breathed are the Aziraphale and Crowley of the syndicated comics world and I love that at the height of their success they were pen pals.

Bill Watterson remains the inspiration: create something of insurmountable and timeless beauty & then toss a smoke bomb and disappear into legend like some ninja unicorn.

Okay, so, this Canoptek Tomb Stalker is a really difficult build but… I’m really enjoying it?!
Modern model kits go together so nicely that I’m getting a huge charge out of doing one where I really have to work for it.
(FWIW I drilled it, then threaded a wire through.)

Your periodic reminder that comparisons of the modern United States to the “Wild West” is ahistorical, since in most places during that period it was illegal to wear or carry guns in town.
Guns were only allowed while “traveling” otherwise it was assumed you meant trouble.

Just HOURS ago DeSantis announced that Floridians would be able to carry a gun without a permit
Well, guess what?! 9 people were just shot in a mass shooting in Florida
DeSantis has blood on his hands & hopes to pave his road to the White House with the dead bodies of Americans

Seriously, if you’re into crime novels and haven’t read the Cartel Trilogy, you are doing yourself a disservice.

Blackadder is the only show I can think of that actually gets better every season.

What sitcom has the lowest fall-off?
Like everyone agrees Frasier gets a lot worse about half-way through, or that Community season 4 is bad, but for my money, 30 Rock is pretty great the whole way through

We have induction in Hong Kong and gas in the US, and every time I arrive in America and see that gas stove my first though is just, “Ugh.”
Quote Tweet
I’m not exactly a chef but from my own experience it’s undeniable how much better the experience of cooking with induction is than gas. theguardian.com/environment/20

After nearly a year resisting it, I must make a formal statement:
I concede that the theme for Hong Kong’s YUU supermarket rewards program officially slaps.

Jack ReVelle found and defused two nuclear bombs that accidentally fell on North Carolina. He couldn’t talk about it for 50 years. He fought the VA to prove his cancer was caused by radiation exposure. He died, quietly, 3 years ago today. Here’s his story:

One of the most poignant and moving objects I’ve ever held…
A doll made from the fabric of the clothes worn in the death camps. Made to say thank you to the nurses who cared for the survivors after they were liberated.

Second thread, but I think it's important. Some people say about American Dirt 'see, success is manufactured' As if that's bad. 'Manufacturing' success is not bad. It basically means a publisher has invested a lot of marketing and publicity on a book from the get go. Let's--

This story obfuscates reality: it's - a federal regulatory agency - that says entanglement in fishing gear is the leading cause of severe injury or mortality for North Atlantic right whales.

I just want to add that this was thrilling for me because Loremasters is my favorite show on WarhammerTV. It combines a brilliant and clean presentation style for the lore with gorgeous visuals from the Warhammer archive.
I watch each episode religiously.

In the latest LOREMASTERS episode on Warhammer+, does an amazing job covering the galaxy's favorite world-pillaging academic.
He also connects the dots on some Easter Eggs scattered around the Trazyn-verse which you might have missed...

When I got an alert this morning about the Monterey Park shooting, I was about to sit down to finish the latest chapter in my book about Chinese exclusion in America. I switched gears and wrote about history, fear, and the Asian American experience today.

Seriously girl, why are you fighting me on this? All I need is for you to rinse the toothpaste out of your mouth.

Imagine it's Sunday morning. You've been allowed to sleep in as long as you want, and you have no chores or responsibilities all day. There's fresh fallen snow on the ground. Your mom makes Cinnamon rolls and serves you breakfast. But you're almost 3, so you are blind with rage.

TBH it always reminds me of that classic Hitchhiker’s Guide bit where everyone’s tired of getting guilted by vegetarians so they genetically engineer a cow that wants to be eaten.

look this was a weird way for it to happen but i think it is inherently unsettling when the mascot begging you to eat the product is the thing you're going to eat if the ad succeeds

Awwww, she’s me!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail doesn’t get enough credit for its spectacular gore effects, especially considering it came out in 1975 when that type of thing was fairly new.
