I liked that one.
The sedate old dude wedded to the young hot thing and the Tom Wolfe-ish takes on how activists in Kenya might react to such a controversy took me out of it a bit.

But does it have the LeCarre existential angst that you and I desire and must have?

I don't usually boost the top ten most followed people but the linked video made me tear up.

Position papers produced by advocacy orgs for, respectively, nukes and big tech.
I apologize. I just don't have time.
Have a great Friday.

@darnell
Nuclear, as I recall, can't easily increase or decrease production either, so I'm not sure where you're going with that reason to build more nukes.
Wind, if over built, scales up just fine in that, unlike nukes, one can safely have wind turbines sit sidle. Same with solar.

As you said [โ€ฆ]

GP, man.
Every time I wonder if it makes enough of a difference to have one more potential vote to win back control of the house.

I hope somebody further in from the left fringe (that I'm part of) says this out loud.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett reacts to something but quite right as she speaks to her supporters during an election night watch party in Dallas on Tuesday. (Tom Fox/The Dallas Morning News via AP)

Representative Jasmine Crockett conceded the race, it's true, but she will win any future meme war.

Interesting.
The accounts I read on Blacksky all pretty much say it's proof Texas liberals won't vote for a Black woman.

It should be obvious that reading Automatic Noodle long after dinner and right before bed is a rookie mistake.

Thought: You just described a good model principle for competent adversaries but how does one model effectively when of the players is being directed by the Magas?

I don't generally boost brand accounts but Mullvad having their TV censored in the UK is .... something.

Calling the Senators won't stop this but it's still on the list.
I called Murray and Cantwell and told them to hold fast. No money for DHS until ICE and the Border Patrol are defunded and demilitarized.

It's near bedtime on a Sunday on our shared time zone.
Just what kind of guest lecture is this and where?

One of my wife's coworker just spent a year working two jobs and couch surfing while she sub-let her apartment - all to pay for her dad's cancer treatment and to pay her family's bills. He passed away two months ago.
She got word today her boyfriend was told to expect deployment.
