Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Hey remember when every Team Trump excuse for this proved false and then everyone moved on?

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs Sweeping layoffs at Voice of America made by Trump appointee Kari Lake were declared void by a federal judge, who said she served unlawfully.

BREAKING:

A federal judge in Washington just ruled that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media β€” which oversees Voice of America β€” and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.

Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space

Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.

Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

Mr. Junod pushed the edges at a time when a big story in a monthly was read by everyone. In 1997, he sent shock waves through Hollywood when he slyly outed the actor Kevin Spacey in a cover story. In 2001, he made up parts of an interview with the R.E.M. lead singer Michael Stipe because he found him boring in real life. Some journalists and media critics felt Mr. Junod had crossed the line. He reveled in the controversy.

Kubrick, gone 27 years ago today. #RIP

Few directors were as brilliant at portraying the absurdities of war β€” like generals who say, β€œThe men died wonderfully.”

But you can’t pump stonks into high heaven if you don’t add this moronic mystique.

I remember people putting "I did this" stickers with Biden's picture on gas pumps, showing they cared so much about gas prices.

I'm going to milk this until the party is over. If I get $2,000 of "compute" out of this thing for my $20... then I consider this mission accomplished.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

Yeah. That was a lot of fun. They kicked me out after a couple of hours when 84 was shut. Something about not wearing a high visibility vest and hard hat.

To be honest, I wrote about 80% of the code myself. I had it do boring stuff like setting up Docker instances and configurations and backup and deploy scripts etc.
