I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Saskatchewan has been managing it since the 1960s. Going to school in half light wasn’t a big deal and we actually had more usable outdoor time after school.

I have to do this on a smaller scale in my backyard every spring - it’s surprisingly satisfying.

I am very tired of RFK Jr.'s bullshit.
My mother died from cervical cancer. She was only 37. I was 8.
An HPV vaccine means fewer 8 year old boys burying their mother. I went to bed crying, saying "mom" every night for months so fuck this lying piece of shit who is killing us.

I'm sure that now there is a power gap in Iran, they'll stop and have democratic elections to figure out who would be best to lead them through this war. That's how it works, right?

SAM ALTMAN: "People talk about how much energy it takes to train an Al model ... But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart."

More rambling - a replica of Francis Drake’s ship and a quack made good immortalized in Southwark Cathedral.

In London - a day to walk off the jet lag. Borough Market - paella, Turkish coffee and football fans (I think - no idea what they were doing, but it was fun).

They’re creating a narrative - it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. Once you’ve built the narrative, it’s possible to gain traction for the idea.
