I can remember not getting that one as a kid.

Which means he has freak genetics. But I guess not the kind of freak genetics that make him superpowered. (There is a so-called “x-gene” for actual mutants in MU)

In the comics it’s supposed to be all muscle, but I don’t think he is considered to have any super powers.

Huh I can’t find a reference so perhaps what I read was a “in taste tests most people prefer” rather than being based on sales volume. I remember it mostly because it seemed like an odd fact to me.

Er, I seem to recall reading that calrose rice (as pictured in the preview) is the most popular variety in Japan, and the “cal” is California. Is this just about a subset of people who prefer domestically grown varieties?

There’s a lot of things it could be, some of which are eyebrow raising. But as you said, usually when someone is carrying that much cash, there’s a reason.

Yeah, definitely. Could be something illegal. Could just be something she doesn’t want showing up on shared credit card receipts.

Maybe just because Trump’s inner circle is making enough money right now that that’s just walking around money to her.

Well that and they view race as so fundamental to someone’s identity that if they’re portrayed with another skin color it fundamentally changes the character.

Oh boy I didn’t need sleep tonight.

He was such a great villain. That scene with the shoe gave me nightmares.

For some reason I have strong memories of my childhood dentist having this song on. They almost always had a “soft rock” station on, which to young me was very awful.

In terms of execution methods. Not debating the morality of execution in itself.

Really nothing inhumane about firing squad.

This is very routine. Supreme Court is highest level of appeal if other appeals fail. Does not mean that it will be taken up. Vast majority are not.

Er, the expression is “look what the cat dragged in,” which I suppose still isn’t very rat friendly.

Well, the steam deck sold something like 6 million, and the switch sold 150 million, so…probably not? But on a more anecdotal level I know a lot of people for whom the Steam Deck took the place of their Switch.

The first part? Abso-fucking-lutely.

This was a high profile case that was all over the news for weeks. And frankly it looks like a slam dunk for the prosecution. The Biden Justice Department absolutely would’ve brought federal charges.

Not sure how you figure that. Trump is not exactly hands off with the Justice Department.
