A Dan Rather, not The Dan Rather

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Maybe I'm sitting in my garage, in the one 15-minute break I allow myself to NOT be wearing my plate carrier, and a lone terrorist invades my suburban subdivision. The only thing in my hand is my ice cold Milwaukee's Best. I charge the terrorist, can out front, catching his bullets.

The “tactical” gear industry knows no bounds when marketing to gullible customers with disposable income. A “ballistic beer jacket” in case your beer gets shot at. Dude use the free koozie that’s just like sitting in your garage, you don’t need every item in your life to be prepped for an assault

Okay, well, this is probably not great: While nursing a shoulder injury (i.e. no climbing, no lifting), I'm down 7 pounds from February. To be clear, I have not been trying to lose weight. There's probably a substantial amount of muscle loss since I paused lifting in December.

I agree with Parker, but it's also a point that Parker is using existing infrastructure and piggybackimasses. And for the other tech, it's very clear he hasn't considered the larger implications of it, which is because A) he's naive, and B) *spoilers* haven't been previously encountered en masse.

Batman in The Dark Knight (2008): I have to use mass surveillance tools in order to save Gotham. I struggle with this, but will have to learn to live with my decision. Spider-Man in Brand New Day (2026): I'm scanning the faces of everyone in NYC and IDGAF 🤪😜

My critique of The Odyssey is as follows: Christopher Nolan should have appeared on screen at the beginning and said "J. Robert Oppenheimer was a Bad Person, and you're a Good Person for knowing that." I have not seen The Odyssey.
