  1. This shit was figured out 200 years ago, but assholes pretend like it's new, made-up science.
  2. Edge of a desert. It’s like a blow-dryer outside in your face when you go check the mail.
  3. My forecast
  4. It's all make-believe, funny money. Tesla’s not "worth" $1 trillion -- 1/5 of the entire manufacturing sector of the US economy.
  5. 1,000,000 x 1,000 x 29. Imagine what you'd do with a million dollars. Now, imagine what you'd do with a million dollars times one thousand. Then, multiply that by 29. $29 billion is an obscene amount of money for simply breathing air. There's not a single human being living on Planet Earth who deserves such an obscene amount of money.

  8. 1988: Trump with Oprah on the presidential question.
  9. Very disappointing. No, you can't. If she still proclaims to be a Republican at this point, she's a certified fascist. Doesn't matter. No excuses. I was raised in rural West Texas during the 1970s & 80s. If you're 54 years or younger, born in and raised in America, and still support Trump, you're a fascist, pretty much no matter where you live. That's on you. Every moment of your life has had access to national and global media, but you've chosen to be an asshole. I think I might have heard his name (tough to say), but I first heard him speak when he was interviewed by Oprah during the late 80s. She asked him directly if he ever wanted to be president. I don't recall what he responded with specifically, but I do recall it chilling my bones. His whole demeanor during that interview was stamped in my brain as a memory of his creepy fucking hushed-toned, "I'm actually not a rapist" voice.
  10. He changed his handle to William Bludworth.
  11. He's popped into the Youth Minister's (and other pervs) Thread of Shame a couple of times to defend some prominent pedophile or their enablers, who he claims are "good people." And, of course, we can all guess with 99.999% certainty that he fully supports the one who's currently defiling the White House with cheap and tacky gilding and a paved-over Rose "Garden," while planning a major $200 million construction project ($2,222/sf) there that will fundamentally alter its character, and acting as if he never plans to leave.
  12. New poll -- I wonder if they'll try to rejoin in the nearish future.
  13. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/03/world/europe/russia-volcano-eruption.html A long-dormant volcano in Russia’s Far East erupted on Sunday for the first time in hundreds of years, scientists said, spewing an ash cloud several miles high. The unusual eruption in Russia’s remote and sparsely populated Kamchatka region follows a series of seismic events this past week β€” including an earthquake and other volcanic activity β€” on the Pacific peninsula, 11 time zones away from Moscow. The Krasheninnikov volcano erupted for the first time β€œat least in 400 years,” sending volcanic ash as high as four miles into the sky, the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, where the volcano is, said in a statement. Staff members have been evacuated from the area, the statement said, adding that the volcano was too far from towns in the region to pose a danger to people. Vsevolod Yakovlev, the nature reserve’s acting director, said in the statement that the eruption was an β€œexciting and fascinating event,” and that Krasheninnikov was listed among the reserve’s eight active volcanoes. The eruption began at 6 a.m. local time on Sunday, when staff from the nature reserve on a research trip at the volcano spotted gas and vapor spewing from its crater. They were promptly evacuated to safety, the reserve said. The Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team, a local body in charge of monitoring and reacting to eruptions, said on Sunday there were no towns or villages within reach of the ash plume that resulted from the eruption. Last week, an 8.8-magnitude earthquake shook the Kamchatka peninsula, setting off tsunami waves and alerts across the Pacific Ocean. No serious injuries or damage were reported. A few hours after the quake, an active volcano in the region, Klyuchevskoy, erupted. Aftershocks have rocked the region in recent days, including a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that hit the nearby and sparsely populated Kuril Islands on Sunday without causing casualties or serious damage, the authorities said. Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry issued a tsunami warning, but called it off shortly after.
  14. Same general region but still a decent hike of 95 miles from Sochi. Putin's Palace is at these coordinates, though I'm sure he has others.
  15. This kinda/sorta looks like the same dude from the trench video above, talking about the pointlessness of the war, but the timing would appear to be off. Still, they're both gaunt AF and don't look like they've had much to eat. Some attempts at translations in the comments:
  16. I've been hopeful in the past that something would get through to the Russian public. At some point, there will be that final straw, but I'm done with even trying to speculate nowadays.
  17. The video is of a Russian soldier filming his dead comrades in a trench, saying the war isn't worth it.
  18. Agreed, but Baptist should be the more immediate concern.
  19. He’s established a creepy pattern of defending people who prey on children’s minds and bodies. I really hope he's not involved in any youth activities, like the Boy Scouts or Little League Baseball.
