Wonder whether Palantir executives have already picked out the partners with which the company will merge to form Cyberdyne Systems

We spent a lovely day in Bourton-on-the-Water last week. Truly sorry we missed all the excitement.

This is why it was such brilliant strategy to hold #NoKings rallies across the country, in neighborhoods and small towns as well as big cities. If Fox viewers didn't see the crowds in person, they might not know they existed.

If only there were a bunch of Marines and National Guards nearby to help with that
