"The Gamesters of Triskelion," by Margaret Armen.

There was a supporting character named "Kloog."

It could have been worse. In the USA, a woman murdered a man by literally kicking him out of the bus

This is the good form of not letting a crisis go to waste:

"Due to the coronavirus, the police department is asking that all criminal activities stop until further notice. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in the matter. We will update you when we deem it’s appropriate to proceed with yo bad selves," the department said.

I bid three hundred quatloos for the newcomer, and seven hundred on the probability of sideboob from the shiny chick.

I wager 100 quatloos on Kirk scoring some alien strange. I wager another 100 quatloos on Bones having to cure Kirk's alien clap. I wager 1,000 quatloos on Bones asking "what is it with you, Jim?"

Never let a good crisis go to waste:

Tucker Carlson Calling Out Speaker Pelosi & Democrats for Trying to Include Federal Funding for Abortion in Pandemic Funding Bill

"As the nation is fighting a pandemic they're worried about abortion. This virus does not kill children, they wanted to fix that."

Sideboob? Did that exist in 1967?

Side boob has existed as long as boobs have.

Meanwhile, wonder how this is going to play in Peoria, or Pennsylvania for that matter?

Here at Omaha Outdoors, we’ve been inundated with inquiries from out-of-state folks – many from California – asking if we can ship them a gun directly. The answer is, of course, no. Despite what politicians and many in popular media claim, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped to your house. Well, you could, if you were a federally licensed firearm dealer (or federally licensed curio and relic collector) and your home was your place of business. Other than that, no, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped, especially across state lines, to your home.

Seems Slate accidentally tripped over a clue.

In an article titled “The Coronavirus Called America’s Bluff,” Applebaum makes the case for why the Trump administration is just as bad as the Chinese Communist Party. Applebaum initially describes China’s failings in handling the virus, but then compares Trump to officials in Wuhan for being “concerned about the numbers—the optics of how a pandemic looks.”

She acknowledges China’s threats against it’s own doctors, but shifts blame away from the Chinese Communist Party because they did not instruct “anyone in the United States not to carry out testing.” She writes “many of those recounting China’s missteps have become just a little bit too smug.”

Hmmmm...

16 Hey, since we're shutting down huge swaths of the economy on the whims of Jake Tapper and Brian Stetler...is there a reason we haven't shut down Twitter?

It's a major source of disinformation regarding Wuhan Flu, it's probably helping to drive cases of hoarding and supply chain disruption, it'll drive every millennial idiot with the sniffles to the ER which will choke the medical system and may eventually lead to riots and death.

Is there a reason clickbaiting, fear-porn peddlers get to keep tweeting that all our grandmas will die if we go outside, but restaurant workers have to stay home without pay for the next two months?

Remember Mallory?

Today.

Silver lining! Silver lining!

It knocked that autistic little "How dare you" bratchild off the forefront of public consciousness.

Even she's a pubescebt stooge in the fist of power-mongers and idiotic daydreamers, the attention we've paid to the natural world has been indisputably deficient, if not merely with concern for "climate change." And this thing is going to be an environmental holocaust, it really is. We're going to feel bad about it.

But a whole lot of world culture is about to be realigned, and we have priorities... Mine is people.
