  1. Well they certainly couldn't book Stacy Halfnecky
  2. Welcome to the firehose of bullshit. It's the main mechanism used by Putin and other totalitarian leaders to keep pressing forward. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. The unrelenting torrent of evil keeps pushing the door open further for more evil.
  3. This is where I land. The team played like stepped on dog shit for a third of the season. Not making the playoffs doesn't feel beyond the pale, AND would be good motivation for the team in the off-season. They could have been in the big dance, but Sark got complacent and shit the bed for the Florida game and called a stinker, and the team let Arch down as he was finally starting to turn his corner on development pains. Don't do that next year. Make the playoffs. Hook em.
  4. I think it's largely because while the first strike was illegal, it was within the general "shape" and norms of armed conflict. The second strike breaks every norm of lawful armed conflict, and actively makes US sailors less safe at sea. If we were to enter a naval conflict, our adversaries have precedent to airstrike shipwrecked sailors. AND it's fucking ghoulish. It's what we have more to look forward to, I'm afraid. Who is gonna stop them? The supreme court? They're purging any officer, no matter that rank or service record, that disagrees with them
  5. The boat wasn't even headed towards America! But they maybe kinda could have sent drugs to America so they had to be warcrimed https://newrepublic.com/post/204065/alleged-drug-boat-hegseth-trump https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/politics/suriname-boat-strike-bradley
  6. Yeah NATO is gonna be down a man real soon I fear. https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/u-s-flips-history-by-casting-europenot-russiaas-villain-in-new-security-policy-cbb138fa US. We're probably going to leave or destroy NATO as a Chamberlain-esque attempt to mollify Putin
  7. That sort of thinking would be right at home in the Third Reich. It's fucking wild how many people operate and live that way today
  8. Second Baptist, COME ON DOWN! https://www.chron.com/culture/article/houston-second-baptist-pastor-child-porn-21223160.php On Nov. 26, Carter August Thomas, a volunteer at Houston's Second Baptist Church, was taken into custody and charged with one felony count of possessing child pornography. The Harris County Sheriff's Office was initially made aware of the suspicions in August, according to court records, after deputies received an email from someone claiming that Thomas had confided in them that he had trouble seeking out child abuse content online. At the time, Thomas confessed he was still officially volunteering with the youth of Second Baptist, where his duties included supervising children. According to The Houston Chronicle, Thomas's defense attorney, Stephen Aslett, said that he was not working at the church in any capacity when the investigation began.
  9. It's gonna be a hilarious boondoggle when James Madison and some other sisters of the poor university gets put in above Texas in the playoff
  10. introducing the vaccine took Hep B infections down 99% with the introduction of the infant vaccine https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00333549231175548 We're gonna #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain by following the advice of a heroin addict that believes 5G causes cancer, and that raw milk is safe for broad consumption.
  11. The Fed is out here tweeting and spiking the football over historically high bond rates. They're a bunch of fucking idiots, cheered on by nincompoops
  12. Bragging about bond yields like were in the middle of a global pandemic is certainly a choice. I can't wait to see people argue that's it's a good thing lmao, it'll be good entertainment
  13. It's like every time there's more Epstein news, trump blows up a few brown people to cheer himself up
  14. They're laser guided rockets, so they've got a way higher PK than gunsgunsguns
  15. I've only noticed it with Twitter embeds so far. And the annoying page load behavior is back where it jumps around for 30 seconds because Twitter is deep fried ass and loads slower than a Greg Davis screen pass
  16. It's mainly just bringing receipts to pants the chamber of commerce types who continually assert any sort of public service is socialism. TLDR - say adios to social security and business regulations
  17. Bump - MW5: Clans just released their final DLC for the Battle of Tukayyid, finishing the story of Operation: Revival. New mechs, plus in-game Arrow IV that you can put on your mechs! You can build an artillery MadCat and really get nuts
  18. Read another way - Netflix is putting up a $5.8B deposit against Comcast or Paramount acquiring WBD, which is a pretty decent deal since they've got about a coin-flip chance to actually close the thing
  19. There's actually a very interesting sociological angle to all of this, in that LLM's are trained primarily on contemporary language and dialogue and data. It stands to reason then, that the content being produced by LLM's would be more tuned to more contemporary tastes.
  20. Fuck at least David Zaslav won't keep killing finished projects just to harvest tax savings. Now some new asshole can kill projects after a single successful season!
  21. Ward Carrol with a good overview of where things stand after the congressional briefing Notably, it seems like there were more than two strikes on the boat - as many as FOUR have been reported (so far). Four guided munitions expended just to sink a burning and broken 20ft boat that people were trying to flip back over.
  22. These businesses have been previously found guilty of price fixing and antitrust violations. You did not watch the video and are just replying with your usual "NUH UH" to anything and everything I post. Go eat some applesauce, grampaw.
