I love how they expanded on the story in this game.

I think the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art should acquire the Stat Wars: Episode I Pepsi machine

Nope! I always say there is no such thing as self-made. It’s a myth.

It took millions of people - from my parents to mentors to friends to competitors to fans and voters - to write my success story. I did not write it alone.

That’s the American Dream - not a lie about going it alone - but the truth that none of us do, and there is always someone with their hand out to lift us up.

Cracking some Heads to share with friends as we see Spielberg's masterwork 'Disclosure Day' for the third time.  His research into UFO folklore is impeccable.  He depicts the night Nixon took Jackie Gleason to see the E. B. E. bodies.  Hope there's a sequel.  The Old Tall Gray's peeps should blow into town and take him home.

Elon, I can give you many, many names of people who have died because of your aid cuts.:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because you stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of your cuts in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after you interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when you cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to him.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge you: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

It's a regressive tax on stupid people and we should honestly be protecting them from themselves by regulating the fuck out of gambling

It’s funny, motocross at the White House is, like, fine with me. But here’s an example of something that is genuinely unforgivable but that a lot of people seem to have moved right past.

I don’t care that much about professional sports, but I like it when people are happy.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Ha. How about this then:

Jared Kushner: $6 billion in Gulf money. Roughly $90 million a year in fees. A protected island in Albania. All while negotiating a war for the United States.
Me: I sold paintings. About $225,000 a year. The whole of my business while my father was President. Congress investigated it.
If that set your hair on fire, where is all your outrage now?

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Q for Pam Bondi: Did you ever ask the DOJ to find all those missing Acosta emails? Remember, when the DOJ's office of professional responsibility (OPR) conducted it's probe in 2019/2020, they noted Acosta's emails during the Epstein case were missing?https://t.co/Ybf45GBxQe

@PikminBloom I paid for the Pikmin Bloom Challenge Anywhere ticket and I did not receive the Pikmin sun visor. Is there a way to resolve this? I got disrupted when I was selecting the color, and then when I reopened the app I no longer had the option to select it. My Account ID is TomCody.
