3/5 The fun & beauty of the prose doesn’t really make up for how unfocused, paint by numbers, and “OF COURSE” the narrative becomes. I wish it was more about the family around Monife’s loss & less about romance BS. (213)

What Senator Cotton says here would be a bad defense for the Germans convicted in WWI and WWII war crimes trials -- including for firing on shipwrecked in fully operational lifeboats.
This line of response hurts the US and US servicemembers. It will cause long-term damage unless we get this right.

One could argue that if they were MILES FROM SHORE on sitting on a capsized boat that had no function motor…

There’s a reason why humans tend to die when boats go down, Tom. Especially in the middle of the FUCKING. OCEAN.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Both Trump and Lindbergh’s grandfathers fled their homelands, a step ahead of law enforcement, a factual inconvenience that their grandsons never mentioned in their campaigns against others fleeing similar dire circumstances.

Meta lost $77 billion on this metaverse folly. For perspective, Netflix’s winning bid for the entire Warner Bros studio and its subsidiaries, the IP, the facilities, and all those assets was $82.7 billion.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Remember in 2000 when Al Gore was repeatedly misquoted as having said he invented the internet and that was seen the eyes of many as disqualifying him from office? Simpler times. Today, Trump makes up lies equivalent to "I invented the internet" 30 times a week and no one bats an eye. Good job media
