It's a tiny, utterly irrelevant thing...

But having written for & edited a few local print publications back in the day, I can't abandon em-dashes to be nothing more than LLM owl pellets. 😂

(And just to be comprehensive: American glass company guy suspected of being CIA using aforementioned as cover. But it's kinda neither here nor there b/c US companies operating in unstable regions always end up having pervasive interactions w/ US intel AND fully-fledged ex-CIA in the mix.)

It could be both. Delcy's father was tortured to death at age 34 by the prior (relatively) pro-US regime for his involvement in kidnapping an American glass company guy.

Maduro/Flores may have skimmed enough to warrant giving up to the US w/ the goal of continuing/increasing Chavista hold on power.

Roborock’s latest vacuum is reaching new heights, literally. The Saros Rover is equipped with legs that help it climb stairs so it can clean multiple floors in your home. It can also clean the stairs as it goes, roll down slopes, and jump over (small) obstacles.

How long is the U.S. media going to continue to uncritically report the claim that RFK Jr. and his political appointees want to improve trust in public health while they are so obviously, inarguably undermining it?

We aren't taking over their government. We don't have any troops in the country. There's no way for Trump to force his decisions on Venezuela without further military action. And the scariest thing about that is Trump & Co don't seem to have a clue about that fact.

Holy moley I didn’t remember there was a war with Mexico. JFC. We went into the fascist dystopian timeline. We did this right when we had reasonable prosperity, low crime, and NO reason for international conflict. It’s confounding. It can’t be a requirement to have a utopia to avoid dystopia!

Future generations will not believe that we took a guy whose life was essentially a lab experiment in creating the most depraved, contemptible human imaginable, and half the country said: "Let's make this guy the most powerful guy in the world"

And once again: ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF A TINY PERCENT MORE OF THE POPULATION HAD JUST FILLED IN A LITTLE OVAL NEXT TO THE BLACK LADY’S NAME.

We ALL fucking warned EVERYONE, but too many didn’t listen or shrugged it off.

Apparently, if you elect a president who is a narcissistic sociapathic rapist with arrested development, and then surround him with a mixture of yes-men too afraid to stop him and evil profiteers happy to use him, things don't go well? Who knew 🤷‍♂️

Worth mentioning that Heated Rivalry is a Crave Canada production: 100% 🇨🇦 in origin, production, tax funded. HBO is merely streaming it
