Cold Spark cannons are the most bitchass form of pyro and if your pyro guy only brings Cold Sparks he hates you. Like ordering a steak and the waiter brings you a plate of parsley sprigs and nothing else

No vendor would ever use drape that translucent for anything, which indicates that this is the mar-a-lago in house pipe and drape setup, and it's set up so poorly I've seen people fired for less.

It's really incredible that the only thing he loves is pageantry but he won't even pay for that.
They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

its incredible to read how the regime has to do a hard sell on the oil companies for this. president grandpas 1989 brain does it again. oil is 50 dollars a barrel and the infrastructure is degraded and the situation completely confused and politically volatile. oil ceos not exactly excited. amazing
whatever the real reason for this was by the smart guys, the stated reason for the addled moron in charge is oil. and that's darkly funny considering we don't need it

What does cocaine, The Tiger King, money laundering, illegal animal trafficking, diploma mills, and international crime rings have in common?

Weirdly, our current Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

I also had no idea Rubio converted to Mormonism, then Catholicism, then became a Southern Baptist.
This is incredibly worth reading in light of what is happening now and the basis on which Trump and Rubio are pursuing charges against Maduro.

Just catching up to these pics, holy shit what a low-effort staging. “Put a black sheet in front of the omelette station and uhh everyone look lethal and kinetic.”
Several of the photos have Twitter up on a screen in the background but I can’t make out what search term appears

Two senior citizens who co-founded a strip mall dojo chain are killing each other on a yacht. This is the greatest show ever made.

I have chosen watching all six seasons of COBRA KAI as my injury recovery activity, and this show about strip mall dojos run by local small business owners training cults of child warriors to fight and die for them is kind of remarkable just for existing.
