The theme of this year’s Super Bowl commercials seems to be existential despair.
The one where the guy gets a dream car during a near-death experience, the one with the dude who’s anxious of everything, the Alexa knockoff bemoaning its lack of a soul...
The family telling a robot child that it can’t follow its dreams and be a CPA...
The T-Mobile ad with the guy who’s thankful someone is “there for him” but it turns out it’s just his Lyft driver...
Not just the commercials, apparently!

I can't stress enough how thoroughly disqualifying it was for a sitting federal judge to act Kavanaugh did yesterday.
Two obvious points: He has every right to be outraged at death threats towards his family. He also has every right to defend himself and his actions.
That does not extend to launching angry tirades about "friends of the Clintons" or warning Democratic lawmakers that "what comes around goes around."

The third day of Kavanaugh hearings is underway. Booker is currently telling the committee he'll release some emails that have been marked "committee confidential." (Feel free to mute this thread.)
Cornyn just described Booker's announcement as "outrageous" and compared it to releasing classified information.
Cornyn, to Booker: Running for president is "not an excuse to violate the rules of the committee."

It's day two of the Kavanaugh hearings. I'll be livetweeting in this thread, so please feel free to mute it if necessary.
Today is the Q&A portion. What will senators ask the prospective justice? Some questions from me: newrepublic.com/article/150678…

And from law professors: newrepublic.com/article/151024…
Grassley says each senator will get 30 minutes of time for questions in the first round. There are 21 senators on the committee. It's going to be a long day.

Today is the birth anniversary of Shri Ramana Maharshi( as per English calendar), one of the greatest Hindu philosophers, thinkers of the 20th century, whose Ashram in Tiruvannamalai, has attracted millions of devotees from all over the world.
Ramana Maharshi was born on Arudra Darshanam, a festival observed in the Tamil month of Margazhi, primarily during December to January. Essentially a Shaivite festival,celebrating the cosmic form of Shiva, in the Nataraja form in a small village in Madurai district.
Arudra Darshanam takes place on the full moon night, and is also the longest night of the year. On Dec 29.1879, the festival was being celebrated in full splendor in a village called Tiruchuli, south of Madurai.

Trump is doing a campaign rally in Rochester, Minnesota, his fourth rally since Saturday. Tweets in this thread.
Raucous applause and U-S-A chants as Trump takes the stage. He begins: "So this is supposed to be a Democrat state. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. They have a big very surprise coming."
Trump says he has presided over "the biggest comeback" in U.S. history. He cites the good jobs numbers and other data. He says, "The radical Democrats want to take it all away." He says electing Democrats will mean people's 401Ks are "cut in half" and there will be much crime.

'You didnt know?'

'I didn't know, Sir.' Taehyung answers shortly.

The alpha writes something down in the report.

'The thing is that no matter if it will be an omega or alpha the unborn baby is the descendant of Mins. You have to be punished for what you've done.'
Taehyung doesn't avert his eyes from the floor. He knew he'll end up in prison.

'You're relegated to the city's Omega Center. Your position as a commander of Omega Landfill will be taken over by alpha Lee.'
Taehyung's eyes go wide as he stares at the older in shock.

'You can't fire me..' he mumbles but its all in vain.

There's no way to get his job back.

I’m watching all of the @Marvel movies with @ThereseTheBeast, we are going in release order over the next 8 weeks leading up to #AvengersInfinityWar

Yesterday was Iron Man, we just started The Incredible Hulk now.

Updating this thread with thoughts and lists as we go #marvel
💭 Most shocking moment so far in the @Hulk 2008 is @LivTyler dating the dad from Modern Family.

Also as much as I like Edward Norton I’m just picturing @MarkRuffalo in my head and this movie is even better.
Putting @Hulk on pause to talk Iron Man.

1. I forgot how we used to talk about Marvel movies being “grounded” or “realistic” especially when it comes to color pallete and portrayal of characters or events.

The colors in Black Panther and Thor 3 have come a long way since 2008.
