I called the cops once after my apartment was broken into. They stomped around, flipped all my shit over, and "dusted for fingerprints." Then they accused me of attempting insurance fraud because I said I had more electronics than they expected.

I've never known a victim of a crime who was relieved after police intervention. Have you?

Oh, to be young and hot again...

It'd likely require a different statute. Like how running a red light is a different penalty if the driver is pulled over by a cop versus the vehicle owner being caught by a stoplight camera.

I realize someone already answered you, but just to further clarify: astrology was a common literary theme during the English Renaissance. Probably the most famous example modern audiences would be familiar with would be Romeo and Juliet, the "star-crossed lovers."

Stars signify destiny and birthright, so if the young lovers' stars are crossed, they're not in alignment and their union is doomed to a tragic ending. If one of them could've "changed their stars," Romeo and Juliet might've had a happy ending.

In February 2024, she reportedly went undercover as nonbinary to “expose” best practices at a gender-affirming care clinic associated with UC Davis.

Very weird.

Your problem, Henry, is that you are hung up on words, on labels: "gay", "homosexual", "lesbian." You think they tell you who a person sleeps with, but they don't tell you that. Like all labels, they refer to one thing and one thing only: Where does a person so identified fit in the food chain? In the pecking order. Not ideology or sexual taste, but something much simpler: clout. Who owes me favors. Not who I fuck or who fucks me, but who will pick up the phone when I call. To someone who doesn't understand this, homosexual is what I am because I sleep with men, but this is wrong. Homosexuals are not men who sleep with other men. Homosexuals are men who, in 15 years of trying, can't get a pissant anti-discrimination bill through City Council. They are men who know nobody, and who nobody knows. Now, Henry, does that sound like me?

I mean, DC canceled Gretchen Felker-Martin's book, because she posted on BlueSky "Hope the bullet's okay after touching Charlie" on the day it happened. So people are saying some crass shit, even if you haven't seen it.

From ABC's perspective, that is not any better. If their programming isn't on air, they're not making advertising dollars. Whether it's because Sinclair chose not to show their programming or ABC chose not to let Sinclair show their programming, the end result is the same: no advertising dollars, and Kimmel still isn't on TV.

Both. Sinclair won't air it, so ABC has suspended production. In theory, ABC could've had it keep airing on non-Sinclair affiliates, but they'd be biting the hand that feeds to do so.

When I was in high school, the girls running team had shirts that said, "Fast girls have good times!"

Silksong feels like being thrown into the deep end

I think it feels less like a standalone game and more like high-end Hollow Knight DLC. The gameplay expects that you've already completely beaten and mastered the hardest parts of Hollow Knight, and expects you to pick up from there.

Maybe that would be fine if I'd been grinding the Godhome continuously for the past seven years. But I think most people haven't been doing that.

Hochul is getting primaried by a more progressive candidate, and NYC has always been relatively weak for her because she's from Buffalo. This isn't actually about the mayoral race; she's begging the city to keep her in the governor's mansion.
