​“I think Donald Trump will win,” Tyson said when asked about how Republicans would fare in the midterms.

He thinks Trump personally is up for election somehow. That Trump is on the ballot. He doesn't know what the midterms are. I wouldn't be surprised if he said he'd be voting for Trump, and they left that part out.

It's 30 Rock. Just put 30 Rock in the title.

WTH with this clickbait crap?

I'm glad Mr. Roger's heir-apparent has taken up the mantle, and is scolding the dangerous man-children we allow to rule over us.

Normally, this would be news media's job, but they're all owned by the billionaires now.

Perfect for the next 50 years. They're not elected old, they just stay in office till they die, because of cronyism and corruption.

I've noticed a couple of sites pushing these things. I decline.

I'm glad physical books and long walks outdoors are still good alternatives, as long as I leave my phone at home.

I suspect it won't be optional in the future, though. More and more there aren't non-digital options to important functions. How long before we're all forced to bank online, and those who can't are dragged along by some sort of hodgepodge solution using public kiosks? They'll force new accounts to be online only, and wait for the naysayers to die off. Cash will be outlawed.

US Senate Candidate Who Confronted Girl Scout and Mother for Selling Cookies Without a Permit

Oh, yeah, she's in lockstep with the community on this one. Hatred of Girls Scouts crosses all lines, we can all agree on this.

Violin.

First, its shape.

Second, I used to watch my girlfriend play it and the passion was intense.

I looked for a performance that isn't an "influencer" prancing about to generate views, of which there are many; something more honest.

Zooming in to understand that clear, plastic paper guide, I feel like it's a miracle it's survived intact all these years.

Equivalent of "straight to DVD."

We got two solid movies out of it. Let's leave it at that.

This isn't a mistake, he just knows he's untouchable.

Also, there's no telling how many of those buildings around there he also owns. Or, who is living there.

Might be staff, for all we know.

Pike spent her prison time in solitary confinement

Absolute torture.

Warning, hard questions ahead, but, don't worry, I'm sure you can find easy answers.

You might as well just stop reading, and downvote me now.

These are the cases that test the limits of human empathy and compassion.

When we imagine that "there are some people who can't be rehabilitated", how certain are we? In this case, did anyone even try? Who decides when we give up, are the people deciding this fully qualified to do so? Is it a judge listening to a single "expert witness" psychologist? Is it the prison warden deciding? Should more people be consulted, are we ignoring possible solutions out of convenience, or even anger and bloodlust?

Are you qualified to decide? Do you know what's possible? I don't. Did you read what she did and say, "she's not worth the effort, she can't be helped, the only thing to do is lock her away"? Is that your expert opinion? Maybe you learned it from a movie?

Everyone wants simple answers and the simple answer is to say that this person, because of what she did, deserves death, or at least to be locked away for life, out of sight, out of mind. Allow the brutal prison system to do whatever it wants. The experts must know what they're doing. Why even try with this one?

I think "that's the best we can do", only because no one has tried harder.

Have we tried absolutely everything, can we think of nothing more? What could be learned from more concerted effort?

These are the cases that test us and I think we give up out of disgust, hatred, and convenience. Not to mention money in our for-profit prison system.

Why did you use the pipe character (|) in place of capital "I"?

One of the few video games we get better at as we get older.

Also, how does it count? Is it just a camera, or is it something worn?

“Dexter: Resurrection” Season 2 will debut on Oct. 30 on Paramount+

Cool. I liked season 1 better than I expected to. They still got the mojo.
