For those that say the 80's were 'perfect'. Listen to the lyrics of this song by Oingo Boingo (the band fronted by legendary Danny Elfman). The problem @GadSaad illustrates in his most recent book 'Suicidal Empathy' has been here for a very long time.

@JimmysSeafood @RollingStone If they made Thundarr the Barbarian I'd be far more interested.

@benignantShelly @patriottakes Its funny how hubris causes politicians to piss away any goodwill they might have gained outside their frothing constituencies.

@elonmusk @jackunheard I wonder if RICO applies... That would give the Feds maybe some standing to seize evidence...

@okayjery @hypareyli2 I view it as a metaphor about how dense men must act in this day and age; not jumping to conclusions. Frankly, to stay out of trouble we must be straight up wooden posts.

[Dave Fuller @davefuller]

@hypareyli2 I watched it yesterday. Its not Romance of the year afaiac. Its a low key comedy at this point. It could be in future seasons if they become available.

IMO Romance of the year would be You and I are Polar Opposites.

@yureiyks My new background. Thank you.

@johnnyjmils Russia has tried and failed to join Europe for hundreds of years. The problem is their successive governments can't get out of their own way. From the later Czars to Putin, inevitably there is a failure to adapt. Catherine was probably the closest to the achievement. Alas...

I don't normally like Chinese Action Opera's. That said, this one looks interesting.

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine

When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

@johnkonrad His problem is that *he* doesn't know who Britain is.

I need you to picture something for me.

It is New Year's Eve. The year is 2011. Blanchard, Oklahoma.

There is an 18-year-old girl alone in a mobile home. Her husband — 40 years her senior, her best friend, her protector — died of lung cancer six days ago. On Christmas Day. She buried him, came home, and now it is New Year's Eve and she is holding a three-month-old baby boy.

Her name is Sarah McKinley.

She hears a knock at the door. She looks through the peephole. A man she does not know — a man named Justin Martin who had showed up at her husband's funeral under the pretense of offering condolences — is standing on her porch. He says he is a neighbor who needs help. Her gut says something else entirely. She tells him to leave.

He doesn't leave.

He goes to the back door and tries to force his way in. He is not alone. There are two of them. And through the door, he tells her: "Let me in or I'll kill you."

Think about that for one second. Her husband is six days in the ground. She has a baby in her arms. She is 18 years old. And a man is threatening to kill her while trying to break down her door.

What Sarah McKinley did next is the part the gun control crowd does not want to talk about.

She put the bottle in the baby's mouth. She grabbed her 12-gauge shotgun. She grabbed her pistol. She pushed a couch against one door, went to the bedroom, and called 911. She had two guns in her hands and an infant in her lap, and she stayed on the phone with dispatcher Diane Graham for 21 minutes while those men worked to get through her door.

At one point she asked the dispatcher a question that should be on the wall of every legislature in America: "I've got two guns in my hand. Is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door?"

Dispatcher Diane Graham said: "I can't tell you that you can do that, but you have to do what you have to do to protect your baby."

Twenty-one minutes. She held the line for twenty-one minutes.

When Justin Martin finally kicked through that door and came toward her with a 12-inch hunting knife, Sarah McKinley pulled the trigger.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. His accomplice was charged with first-degree murder under Oklahoma law — which holds that when you commit a crime and a death results, you are responsible for that death. No charges were filed against Sarah. Oklahoma law was perfectly clear on why.

No charges. Because the law recognized something that the gun control lobby cannot bring itself to acknowledge: she had every right to be alive.

The media gave this story exactly the coverage you would expect for a story that destroys the narrative. A few days. Some local coverage. A brief appearance on a cable talk show. And then it disappeared. No Everytown fundraiser. No congressional testimony. No orange awareness ribbon for Sarah McKinley. Because she survived. And the gun control campaign has no use for survivors.

Now let me give you the data behind what you just read.

John Lott — University of Chicago economist, researcher of 13,312 statistically controlled regressions across every county in America — found that approximately 95 percent of the time a gun is used defensively, it is NEVER EVEN FIRED. A woman opens a curtain and points a gun at a man kicking down her door, and he runs — straight into a wall in one documented case — and no shot is ever fired. No dead body. No 911 call. No news story. And no awareness campaign.

Between 760,000 and 3.6 million defensive gun uses occur in America every year, depending on which survey you use. The Department of Justice's own floor estimate is 65,000. A JAMA study from March 2025 put the number of DGUs where a firearm was actually discharged at 489,000 annually. That is almost HALF A MILLION times in a single year that a law-abiding person used a firearm to stop a crime being committed against them or someone they loved.

You do not hear about them because nobody died. And nobody died because the gun was there.

The Supreme Court has already settled the question of whether the government is required to protect you. DeShaney v. Winnebago County, 1989. Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 2005. The answer is no. No legal obligation. None. You are your own first responder. That is not a political argument. That is settled constitutional law from the highest court in the United States.

So the political class that just told you the government is not required to protect you... is also the political class trying to disarm the Sarah McKinleys of this country.

Think about what that actually means. An 18-year-old widow with a baby and a 12-gauge is the reason a three-month-old boy grew up with a mother. Take the gun out of that story and tell me how it ends differently.

I will wait.

Quinn's Law Number One. Liberalism produces the opposite of its stated intent. They say they want to protect women. They want to disarm the tool that kept one alive on New Year's Eve while she sat on a bedroom floor with a baby in her lap and a man threatening to kill her on the other side of the door.

I am DONE with the performance. I am done with the orange shirts and the awareness months that suppress the data that would actually SAVE the people they claim to be fighting for. The research is not ambiguous. The story is not ambiguous. The law is not ambiguous.

The gun does not make you violent. It makes you hard to kill. And for people who want to hurt you, that distinction is everything.

But what do I know — I am only a combat medic who has spent his entire adult life trying to keep people alive, a father of four daughters who sleep safely in their house, and a science teacher who believes the data matters more than the fundraising cycle.

@bmwhocking @DanielW_Kiwi It was entertaining as far as popular non fiction goes.

I'm not a huge fan of SG. I prefer BSG. That said, the various series were enjoyable. I even liked the much maligned SG Universe.

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:

"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."

"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."

"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."

"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."

"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."

Why are corporate execs like this?
