Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
A visualization of the Constellation class guided missile frigate (originally known as the FFG(X) program). Intended to serve a multitude of roles (such as escorting) that didn't require the presence of a cruiser or carrier, cost overruns and multiple design changes resulted in the project being cancelled in November 2025 with one ship (USS Constellation) about 12% complete and one other hull (USS Congress) pending.
Not to mention the fact they had no FFG(X)s left to give.
"Yo dawg I hea-" 💥
SENATOR AND MRS. JOHN BLUESKY
Stephen King as the farmer who had a strange meteor land in his backyard in the 1982 horror anthology film Creepshow. His body and the furniture in his rather dingy cabin is partially covered with a green alien moss. SPOILER: the situation does not improve.
Someone needs to do a wellness check and see if a meteor landed in his backyard.
No notes.
See, this is why public television is important.

"Cruelest jewel in that dark setting" indeed.
Every time I'm in Vegas I keep meaning to hit the World of Coca Cola and sample some Dommy Mommy Beverly, and every time I miss it or forget for some reason.
Next time, definitely!

Since Walter Sobchak (Goodman's character) was heavily based on director John Milius, does that mean we'll see Mickey Mouse-directed versions of Conan the Barbarian and Red Dawn?
The logic is ineluctable.
An Egyptian mongoose, known in Greek as the ichneumon ("tracker") and namesake of the somewhat better known ichneumon fly. In legend it was the mortal enemy of dragons and would sneak up on them by covering their nose with their tail and the rest of their body with mud.
"Ichneumon dung" sounds classier. Sounds educated.
I think you should avoid the Saturday Morning Podcast. It's really not your type of thing.
Forty years later, the Church of the Miraculous Forcemeat gains its millionth member.
An 1865 three-cent nickel. The obverse (heads side) has a woman's head wearing a crown inscribed with the word "LIBERTY" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 1865" around the perimeter. The reverse (tails) has the Roman numeral "III" surrounded by olive branches. It was the same size as a dime, but slightly lighter.
It can be a rabbit hole. For example, that coin in your pocket with Thomas Jefferson on it is technically a "five-cent nickel piece" because in the past there have been five-cent silver pieces ("half dimes") and three-cent nickel pieces (when that was the price of a first class stamp).
Never again for me: "Heart and Soul" by T'Pau. 🩸👂
If you paid for it in the 90% silver coins of the time (dimes, quarters, or half-dollars) the bullion value would be around $36.73 today.

Normally I'd say calling your bookstore "Grand Splendid" is a bit of overkill, but in this case I think it slaps.
what is this ecru on eggshell minimalist BS I know right
I guess La La Land.
I say "I guess" because I literally could not get through the first scene without switching to something else (or off altogether). I don't know why!
Also, Skittles are very mid.
Ariel, one of the planet Uranus's 29 known moons. It's about one-third the diameter of Earth's moon and its surface features (such as Kachina Chasma and Leprechaun Vallis) are named for "bright" spirits of world mythology.
"My waifu turned into the moon."
"That's rough buddy."
Having a banger (albeit NSFW) alarm tone helps too.

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.
Why yes, Black Peter, I would like to live deliciously.
Unfortunately for you, that involves this incredible goat & lamb burger I had at the Marin Sun Farms restaurant/butcher shop they used to operate in Point Reyes.
I gotta talk to a sheep babe brb.
Well now I understand Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout a lot better.

Commander Kieran MacDuff from the ST:TNG episode "Conundrum". SPOILERS FOR A 34 YEAR OLD EPISODE . . . . . . . . . . . He's actually an alien operative inserted into the Enterprise crew after they were hit with amnesia to direct them into destroying the central command base of his people's enemy.
I'm sure "Commander MacDuff fanfic" has to be a metaphor for something, but I'm not sure exactly what.

If they realized, they would be someone else.
Like the Moskva, she was promoted to submarine.
I know - the local karaoke bars and South Asian restaurants would suffer badly.
