Does this mean humans are the same species as vulcans, klingons, romulans, betazoids, trill, ocampa, and ktarians?

She also tried to claim that someone inserted the puppy murdering bit in her book to make her look bad, even though she was familiar enough with the story to answer questions about it before it got backlash. In other words, she's a psychopath who never seems to get better at lying despite the constant practice.

She's the kind of liar that would shit herself and immediately claim someone else did it.

There is no statute of limitations on murder.

The feds will protect him, but that's only guaranteed for as long as the current regime is in power. Even if the next administration (or the one after that, or the one after that, etc) isn't inclined to make a federal case out of it, they could easily decide to just not obstruct justice and cooperate, handing everything over to the state.

She was clearly performing a Y turn to steer around him. You can see him pull his gun out as she's switching from reverse to drive, and he fires the first shot while she's barely moving. She continues to accelerate after getting shot and yet he doesn't get hit, but he does continue firing.

Her intent was obviously to escape, not to inflict harm. His intent was obviously to inflict harm, not to escape.

Real people don't have scripts to read from.

But seriously, listen to the way people talk. It's chaotic, messy, often unclear and very inefficient. Conversations meander wildly, with dangling threads that are never concluded and often times with people talking past each other as much as to each other. If you wrote dialogue that way it would just be harder for audiences to follow and waste precious screentime.

Realistic sounding dialogue is about writing what a real person would say if they stopped to think for a minute between each statement.

In some states you have to be registered as a member of a party to vote in their primaries. In states with open primaries you can vote in primaries without registering as a party member, but they still typically have party affiliation as an option on the form.

And the microorganisms. He's gonna need an eternity if he has to go through one by one.

Starbug from Red Dwarf is top left. The Milano from Guardians of the Galaxy is beneath that. Slave 1 (Boba Fett's ship) is the top right. Not sure about the bottom right, my best guess is Samus Aran's gunship from Metroid.

And let's not forget the student loans that are being forced onto worse repayment plans, and brutal collections for anyone who can't keep up. Because the only thing the department of education does that they actually support is keep people weighed down by crippling debts.

Honestly, if I was some admiral trying to protect a bunch of R&D projects in development from Trump, I'd probably wrap as many of them as I could into a pitch for a big battleship with his name on it then spend the entire budget on the technologies that are supposedly going into the ship. Put basically no effort into the ship itself, just show him concept art and maybe send him a model or something to make him think progress is being made.

And that's how the party ends up on the run for counterfeiting.

 

Over 200 American outlets under USA Today parent company Gannett will not back candidates “in presidential or national races,” according to USA Today.

“None of the USA TODAY Network publications are endorsing in presidential or national races,” a spokesperson for USA Today, Lark-Marie Antón, said in an email to The Hill on Monday.

 

My SO and I are always looking for good movies, shows, etc. to fill the month of October. We like things that are atmospheric, cerebral, or just fun. But a lot of the standard recommendations are your typical slasher movies and the like, disgusting body horror, kids movies that we have no interest in, and things that are just plain miserable.


Here's some things we've liked to one degree or another from previous years.

Action Horror / Horror That's Actually Enjoyable

  • Aliens
  • Bram Stoker's Dracula
  • Fright Night
  • Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
  • The Mummy (1999)
  • Silence of the Lambs
  • Sleepy Hollow (Great? No. Fun? Yes.)
  • Termors 1 & 2
  • Various Stephen King Mini series (IT, The Stand, Rose Red)

Funny and Spooky

  • Army of Darkness
  • BeetleJuice
  • Bubba Ho-Tep
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie)
  • The Burbs (didn't love it, but a good fit)
  • Death Becomes Her
  • The Frighteners
  • Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
  • Ghostbusters 1 & 2
  • Gremlins 1 & 2
  • High Anxiety

  • Various MST3K horror movie episodes
  • Young Frankenstein

Anthology Shows (inherently hit or miss)

  • The Twilight Zone (60s)

  • The Haunting (1963)
  • The Haunting of Hill House (with Rifftrax, but still counts)
  • The Last Man on Earth
  • Psycho
  • The Invisible Man

Barely Qualifies as spooky but still good:

  • The Dead Zone (movie)
  • Men in Black
  • Pacific Rim
  • The Shadow
  • They Live
 

A new poll shows former President Trump leading Vice President Harris by only 2 points in Florida ahead of what could be a tighter-than-expected race in the red state in November.

Trump leads Harris with 49 to her 47 percent support in the Sunshine State, according to a Morning Consult poll released Monday. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus two points.

 

And don't get me started on modern conveniences.

It seems like all the other markdown stuff works, but we're missing ^superscript^ and ~subscript~ in connect. As a frequent user of footnotes,^1^ I would greatly appreciate support for these tags.


^1^ Great for citations, explanations, or really stupid tangents

 

Amazing how one little letter can make such a big difference.
