Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.
Let’s see where we are in a week once people have absorbed the move in gasoline prices.
>We need to de-couple from fossil fuels right now, right now, no excuses, save the planet
>Gas prices go up
>Wait stop think about the impacts on the poor-
Do you want paradigm-shifting change in the immediate moment or not
Star Trek Voyager scene. We see a small, lone shuttlecraft fllying through a cloudy sky. Closed caption reads, "(screaming)"
the thing about this is that it would make a huge chunk of New Yorkers who consider free curb space to store their cars to be an inalienable right absolutely nuclear-level lose their shit, but also that group of people voted 95% for cuomo or sliwa anyway
So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
Re-reading this for a project and it's full of remarkable tidbits. For example, the British collected intelligence on German units that had suffered particularly badly from gas attacks and would assign a Special Company to literally follow them around the front gassing them continuously.

It’s an incredibly bad idea to have a tweet go viral on The Most Pedantic Website Ever
One reason this works so effectively is Cook's horrific description of the Battle of St. Julien, where doctors helplessly tried to diagnose and treat gas cases and whole columns of men dropped dead along roads and in fields coughing up bits of their lungs. Virtually the entire CEF was exposed to it.
He also seemed to forget that Mad Max Fury Road is about women trying to escape from toxic masculinity.
Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.
When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.
He then got detained by Saudi guards.
this is so out there I had to go read some NTSB reports to remember how to say this normal government style (it's "presumed dead")
There are a bunch of fatwas from Norwegian imams about what to do when Ramadan is during the period of the midnight sun.

The Wang 2200 computer, vintage 1973.
My Wang hasn’t experienced optimal performance efficiency for decades.
Au contraire: this is TERRIFYING. It means someone in Iran is waking up a sleeper network. I wonder why? (That was a rhetorical question: the obvious answer is "revenge", probably planned some time after 1988 (the US shoot-down of Iran Air flight 655).
i think when we get a final reckoning of how much Noem has personally profited from her office this question might answer itself
Dusting off my theory that the reason the right wing press went so hard on portraying Media Studies as a "Mickey Mouse degree" in the 1990s is because they didn't want a generation of people growing up able to call out this bullshit.
Honestly, the payoff here is when he imitates what he assumes people are reading when they read. He assumes it is about pirates.
Was watching a new video of a ytuber I follow talking about her recent mental health struggles. She starts talking about some problems with food only for the video to segway into a sneaky ad read for a meal prep thing in the grossest way possible. What happened to shame?

To paraphrase Leo Tolstoy: all bad Doctor Who stories are alike. All great ones are great in different ways.
what I love about all this is that the actual product getting back to Beijing was probably incredibly trivial stuff. Like, 'smart Google search' levels.
