    "Several days before the terrorist attack in Russia, Tehran shared with Moscow information about a possible major terrorist attack inside Russia, which was obtained during interrogations of those arrested in connection with the explosions in Iran, which led to casualties," said one of the agency’s interlocutors.

    So did Russia just let it happen so they could blame Ukraine?  Or are they simply that incompetent?

    Titanic

    Watched it with my Gen Z niece who had never seen it. Instead of being into the Jack and Rose love story, she couldn’t stop saying how they did Billy Zane wrong. 

    Watching this now that I’m older and married, I agree. Billy Zane didn’t snap until he realized his fiancé was fucking around behind his back with some drifter. 

    If I spent a shitload of money (allegedly $130K in today’s money) to bring my fiancé and her mother and all of their shit to America with first class accommodations, I would be so fucking pissed off beyond belief and go berserk the way he did, sinking boat or not. 

    Did it bother her that he pushed her into a traditional gender norm and, you know, PHYSICALLY ABUSED her>

  3. Yeah I know Christianity stole the Spring Solstice and made it about Jesus, but still.  No reason Christians and Pagans can’t celebrate together.  Along with the Transgendered folks and their supporters.

    Gonna be a great day, filled with ham and deviled eggs*.  Let’s all enjoy it in the best way we can.

    *Unless you’re vegan of course.  You do you.

    Educational purposes. Didn’t the government used to pay farmers to not grow their crops because they weren’t needed

    Up until the 1996 “Freedom to Farm” bill yes.  Called it “setaside.”  Or more commonly, “government ground.”  There had been other programs like “PIK” and “zero 85l as well.

    There are lots of farmers who hate subsidies (including subsidized crop insurance).  But as ISU has said, those subsidies distort the economics and you can’t compete without them.  It’s perverse.

    Of all of the dumb fucking nonsense arguments used by gun nuts, this might be the dumbest one I've heard.

    A real cowboy carries his guns on his person.  No gun safe needed.
