SoftBank sold its entire stake in Nvidia, pocketing $5.8 billion ahead of a rash of planned investments by founder Masayoshi Son to build his own sphere of influence supporting artificial intelligence.

It’s obviously not hard if you just reset. But also, if we’re taking the movies as one long sequence, the guy is, what, 95? But somehow that’s not something that has to be explained.

I think the most sensible of them is that it’s only difficult if you follow the recent style of Bond movies, which are sort of realism-ish? If we’re in the earlier movie universe it’s barely even a hiccup.

JCO proving what I’ve been saying for years when it comes to engaging with chuds - they don’t care if you think they’re stupid, or hypocritical, or evil (they’ll like it because they hate you). But if you find the way to accurately show how *uncool* they are, you can really really fuck with them.

The legal distinction is biologically absolute nonsense and they should just fucking downschedule it already, but until then, there was so much abuse going on and the people producing the "legal" products from converted CBD or concentrated THC have been pulling Some Fuckshit.

--as long as it was concentrated from the tiny amount of THC allowed in "hemp" or converted into THC from the CBD present in hemp. (Again, scare quotes because there's no biological difference between hemp and marijuana except the THC content.)

I am still annoyed, because the actual solution is to just fucking downschedule marijuana already like Biden started trying to do almost as soon as he got into office, but all the stakeholders who had to weigh in are slow-walking it as essentially a pocket veto and it makes me so fucking mad

"Hemp"-derived products that contain only CBD will continue to be legal, and any state that's legalized cannabis will still have legalized (and regulated) cannabis. This is just to close the loophole that resulted in some dangerous products being technically legal.

The inclusion of the ban on THC-containing products derived from "hemp" is to close this loophole and stop allowing THC that's chemically converted from CBD. The completely unregulated market for these products has resulted in some dangerous shit being sold!

So a lot of companies *say* they're using "hemp" (scare quotes because hemp and marijuana are the same damn plant) and converting the THC, but are actually just growing plants that contain the THC and using those.

What it bans is the loophole that accidentally made selling THC-containing products legal in nearly every state, as long as you started with a plant that was less than .3% THC. It's possible to chemically convert CBD to THC. The process is expensive and kinda dangerous!

“James Bond is eternal and belongs to everyone” was my defence in Broccoli vs Twlldun on the subject of “James Bondage: 00Heaven”, my artistic project
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
