  1. CNN article about it

    At least three people were wounded after five explosions rocked a military base belonging to an Iran-backed militia in Iraq, a local security official told CNN Saturday.

    The blasts happened at a site belonging to the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), according to Muhannad al-Anazi, a member of the Security Committee in Babylon Governorate, south of the capital Baghdad.

    Quote

    The PMU, also referred to as the Popular Mobilization Forces, is a predominantly Shiite Iran-backed paramilitary force based in Iraq. Unlike other Iran-backed groups around the region, the PMU is tied to the local government, and is closely linked to Iran-aligned Shiite blocs that have dominated politics in Iraq for years.

    The PMU said the blast happened “at the Kalsu military base in the Al-Mashrou district on the highway, north of the Babylon Governorate”. Investigators are currently at the site of the explosion, which also caused material losses, PMU added.

    It's estimated that the City of Austin lost 6.9 BILLION gallons (roughly 21,175 acre feet) of potable water to leaks in 2022.  I'm sure that number is increasing year over year as the system ages. 

    They are working on fixing/replacing those old pipes.  I have to deal with the traffic issues from them digging up streets in our area almost every day.

    I've thought this for a long time and this really should be the start and end of it. "So, Senator/Representative/Governor, are you saying you yourself were not legitimately elected?" I get so tired of un-pretzeling this shitty logic. why are we at the mercy of so many dumb people?

    I would toss this in:  If the election were rigged and the Dems somehow managed to pull off the White House, wouldn't Soros have paid for the down ballot races as well (both in '20, but also the '22 elections), so that the Dems have a solid House and Senate majority?

    These are the fuckheads driving Project 2025 so of course they are interested in committing voter fraud.

    Sheriffs arresting Arizona women for violating an 1864 law?  Her ‘Tombstone’ sequel script idea sounds dumb as fuck.  

    More like a prequel.

    Hell, Tombstone wouldn't be founded for another 15 years after the 1864 abortion ban.

    Kari is weird as fuck, her political career is all but over, and she's doing stupid shit to not only end her career, but make sure that she doesn't get a show on one of the conservative media outlets.  Then again, if they were interested in her, they would have already offered her, and she wouldn't be running such a desperate campaign.

    Republicans really are out to keep women and minorities down and they are very open about it.  Kirk is heavily involved with the Project 2025 bullshit as well.

    We've been discussing this "Ukrainian Nazi" angle for years.  There is a small faction of their military that identifies loosely as such.  That's it.  Nobody gives a damn about the truth.

    Plus, Russians consider any Ukrainians who believe in Ukraine as a nation to be "nationalists" aka "Nazis".

    If Three Toes cared about rooting out Nazis, she'd start right here in the US.

    Sir.  I believe you mean "Freedom Navy"  LOL

    That freedom fries bullshit should have tipped us off that the GOP was about to start its path to insanity.

    “On the question of Nazis, I’ve written two books as a historian about Nazis and the holocaust. On the question of Ukrainian nationalism, I am the leading scholar of that subject in North America. I’ve been writing about it for 20 years.

    "If the chamber is interested in the degree of far right participation in Ukrainian politics, you can be assured that no far right party has every surpassed 3% in a Ukrainian election. So of course there are bad people in any country but by any comparative standard, it’s a very small phenomenon.

    "In Russia, on the other hand, the army includes openly Nazi formations… The government, itself, is fascist in character, and is carrying out a war that includes the deportation of children by the 10s of thousands, the open intention of destroying a state, as well as mass torture.

    "So if we’re looking for fascism, and if there is anyone who is sincerely concerned about halting fascism or racism, you’d look to halt Russia."

    Why would you say that?

    BBC reporting on it too

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9ezp0lv039o

    The company says an "unapproved change" in the production of the pedal meant "lubricant" was used in its assembly, which means the pad did not stick properly to the pedal.

    I don’t know why everybody is upset, I mean “lubricant” is nearly the same thing as “adhesive”, right?  Everybody ends up in the hospital after sex, right?
