The Leonard Cohen Files is a website previously mentioned on Metafilter as a response on the green in 2010, at which point it was already fifteen years old. Happily it still exists and is still under active development.

I found it because I was trying to figure out how I felt about the lyrics to Jazz Police and found this fantastic essay. I'm so glad sites like this are still around and bravely still using the frame tag, which I honestly thought might have been removed from HTML because it's been years since I've seen a website render in browser with frames. Please enjoy this excellent Leonard Cohen website as it approaches its 30th birthday (!!!) in September.

We'll debunk the myth created by Hollywood that a firearm can be completely silenced, reduced only to a "pew". I'll pull together some examples of silenced firearms and show what silencers/suppressors can and can't do, and compare the noises you'd get to some other types of sound. Then I'll go into the components which make up firearm noise: mechanical, sonic boom, and muzzle blast. Then I'll discuss the advantages that silencers bring, even though they're not as impressive as they seem in the movies. Finally, I'll sum up by discussing the limitations of silencers and why they are not universal. from Silencers: not very silent [Military Realism]

This premiere injects a healthy does of fun into what easily could have been a too silly premiere, resulting in one of the season's strongest debuts and also, another fear on my list: kitty-pocalypse!

"The internal relationships have been the beating heart of this book since Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona created it. What I love about writing Runaways is that every character has a specific dynamic with every other character. There are the romances — Chase and Gert, Gert and Victor, Nico and Karolina; Nico and Chase’s domestic partnership; Gert and Nico’s spiky friendship; Chase’s insecurity around Victor; Karolina’s nurturing of Gib … No matter who is on the page, there are big, messy, ongoing dynamics." -- Rainbow Rowell

The only ugliness to be found is in Shigeru's volcel actions and this premiere's treatment of his body and physicality.

"The passage of Trump's signature legislation earlier this month proved there are still plenty of Big Beautiful Billable Hours for K Streeters, but the ground game is changing fast. 'Lobbying used to be Congress-focused, but they're not driving the show anymore,' said one Republican lobbyist. 'They are all now taking orders from the administration.' ... To have juice in this town these days means having access to the president and his allies, and the old bulls of lobbying no longer have as much of it."
