When I first read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, my only real complaint was that making the antagonists actual pedophile Nazis was a little too obvious narratively. …I don’t feel that way any more

the original title of the book, of course, was not THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO but rather MAN SOM HATTAR KVINNOR-- MEN WHO HATE WOMEN

(Here's how one reporter guessed the drawing would look--her drawing differs from the real one because the real one looks more pre-pubescent)



CNN has a panel talking about Epstein and the host just mentioned (almost as an aside!) that one of the guys is a lawyer defending Ghislaine Maxwell. And rather than being a guest who's grilled about the case, he's treated like any other panelist who just happens to be minimizing the crimes.

This is from Justice Barrett’s new book. I’ll just observe that it‘s a very strange metaphor to use to describe the decision to move to Washington D.C. to become a Supreme Court Justice. www.cbsnews.com/news/book-ex...

("ROI has never been the primary determinant of SpaceX’s decisions, when the opportunity presents itself to dominate an industry and force competitors out")







CNN







("over his plans to slash the French budget by €43.8 billion") ("Fatalistic in the face of a parliamentary impasse, Mr. Bayrou had, even before the debate began, invited his entourage to a 'convivial moment,' or farewell soirée, this evening.")







Oh. “The events at Heathrow Airport are a "mass hysteria" type event, a source at the Met Police tells the BBC, with no hazardous material found.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

("The London Ambulance Service said its crews treated 21 patients at the airport terminal...'Service and conducted a thorough search of the area. No trace of any adverse substance was found'")















A post crossed my feed today saying "the Star Trek version of Andor is a Maquis show" and now I'm horribly worried that, thirty years on, there are people who don't get that the Maquis were 100% in the wrong and that DS9 and VOY were much kinder to them than they deserved.

(Thread. I've really only seen a few of the Maquis episodes, and it was pretty clear from the Eddington episodes he was the villain)







Gotta admit, pretty funny that Max Muncy's oblique/rib issues come down to him being Perfectly Rectangular Man. www.ocregister.com/2025/08/29/m...

(He "says he was cuffed after he took a hit of his vape, which was on top of the police vehicle, while he was being ordered to keep his hands in place. Otherwise, he says, he was complying with police orders.")
