I don't know what's funnier, the fact that the tankie Hasan Piker got interrogated by Chinese Police over displaying a Mao meme at Tiananmen, or the fact that he's now *defending* his own harassment by said police.

Absolutely incredible.

remember when elon fired the most beloved man in Iceland and posted its explicitly (actionable) because hes disabled and then reversed after learning his contract gave him like a 100mm severance and spent the next month replying “so true!” “Wow this is so insightful“ to every banal post the guy did
Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

Every Senator knows Minority Leader is a mostly powerless, completely thankless job.

The closest we have to an actual quote on the record about complicity is from an (anonymous) Senate aide who vaguely insists to Zappos or whatever that Schumer could have totally got them back in line if he wanted.
Why stop there? A few can freely call for Schumer's ouster with zero risk because they know that it won't mean anything if the majority of Senate Dems support it.

How can you really know their positions on anything at all? Talk is cheap! And clearly the Senate is full of liars!
Any Dem senator who isn’t publicly calling for Schumer’s ouster has to be assumed complicit. They did the same trick back in March. Most didn’t vote for the CR then either.

I think what is going to happen is that lab-grown meat will gradually catch up with real animals and when that happens we will all quietly admit that the vegans were right about factory farming
i'm convinced if we ever tried to touch the rail of meat politics in America (something that's going to eventually need to happen in order to reduce CO2 emissions), it would lead to a huge right-wing shock
remembering the time a random catholic priest got mad at me about a hypothetical about the government restricting meat production on the other site

meat politics is going to be insane for the next Dem administration which takes climate change seriously, imo

For those who don't know the history, the tree is an annual gift in commemoration for the aid Boston provided after the 1917 Halifax explosion. It's a truly wonderful story.

Also possibly more importantly safety inspections
In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures
So every part of this is dumb but the idea that the Iliad is about 'fighting for princesses' is such a vapid take on a work that tells you exactly what it is about in the first (and last) lines.

You can tell the poem isn't really about Bryseis because her return does not resolve the conflict.

an underrated part of this turducken of garbage is Elon posting an image of the Odyssey while discussing the Iliad, but it's all so terribly, terribly pathetic

as it turns out, there is plenty of evidence on strategically whipping Senate votes such that on-cycle Senators reap the benefits and off-cycle and retiring Senators take it in the shorts.

For that matter: is the Palpatine of the earlier films also a clone?

Was there originally a Shev Palpatine?
I will die on the hill that, as a clone, the Palpatine of TROS should be referred to as "Sheeev"

Much like Cassian Andor, who is believed to be a sanitized version of Kyle Katarn, a former Imperial soldier turned mercenary who aided anti-government rebels in securing plans for a proposed Imperial superweapon.

Now my mind is rolling down the trail that all canonical stories in all franchises are syncretic reconstructions, and it's up to me to tell the real stories that underlie them.
