I dunno, I can imagine a LOT of corruption.

A donut receipt is an alibi. Just saying.

Nothing but anecdotal, but it kinda looks like Bluesky is becoming a thing. Couple that with a lot of people taking a step back from the world right now.

Poland’s military is about half again larger than Ukraine prior to the war, large portions of it are very well trained, and their equipment is significantly better. If they decided to march to Moscow, nothing Russia has, short of nukes, would slow them down. And Poland would really like to discuss with them, some of the things that happened in WW2, in an up front and personal way.

The US still makes massive amounts of cotton. That all gets exported to other countries before getting turned into garments and things.

Coffee, tea, and everything you’re wearing right now.

Very true, and if the nuclear threat goes away, it’ll look like a pack of junk yard dogs let loose on a kitten.

Right wingers only see problems when it happens to them personally. So the only way to get rid of Trump is to give him enough rope to hang himself. This is just a tiny string in that rope. I’m hoping he gathers up enough to end up like Mussolini.

If not for nukes, Poland probably would have rolled Russia by themselves. The rest of NATO could just be emotional support.

They sell the targeting, from there it’s simple for the advertisers to compile the list with the tracking cookies left behind.

Google has that list, and it’s for sale. Regardless if you tell them, they know.

Finish the refit on our boat, move back aboard, and sail away. It’ll take another year to be ready to cross the Atlantic.

The Doctor doesn’t call himself a pacifist, he just detests violence. If needed though, he will absolutely blow your shit up.

The other quote to go with that one was “Good men don’t need rules, you’re about to find out why I have so many.”

I still like the Doctor Who take on it. “Demons run when a good man goes to war.”

Was the KGB agent Putin by any chance?

Misinformation campaigns are modern warfare. Killing your opponents from the inside is far more cost effective.

We could combine the Dakota’s, Montana and Idaho and almost have 1 state worth of population.

Red states have always been low population states. Over time every state grows, but the big states were already big. The smaller states have more room to grow, big pop states are more expensive because of the population so grow less.

It’s not some conspiracy, it’s just math. Now the Senate is another thing. There shouldn’t be two Dakota’s for one thing, and New Mexico didn’t have the population to join either.

Was it really a bunch of bored nerds, or did a PR agent make an anonymous post to start the rumor mill?

It’s two different problems. UBI helps with poverty, and a lot of other social spending. Give everyone enough money for rent and tomorrow the price of rent is higher than what you’re giving them. Housing is supply restricted, increasing the demand only makes it worse. What we need is a serious building spree.
