It’s easier than you’d think; we stop voting for people, and start voting for policy direction. Then we hire competent public servants to make and implement plans based on voter sentiment. Yeah, and while I’m dreaming, I’d like a pony.

*Epstein Fury. Makes more sense in that context.

Now you see why AI everywhere is so important. Anyone could have made that video!

Yes, and these matchbooks went on to inspire both Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino and Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi as well. One day the four great artists were surprised to learn that the cardboard matches had been crafted by a great artist of the martial persuasion, who kept getting slivers from the wooden variety. Lovingly know to the four as Master Splinter, they went on to great adventures together in the sewers of New York.

Yeah, formal recognition is just a baby step. Only the bare minimum for acknowledging Palestine as a state. I’ll be surprised if anything other than this happens. Maybe we’ll get a stern rebuke or a tut-tut soon.

The formal recognition is only possible during a UN general assembly, which next happens in September. That’s why world leaders keep stating their intention to recognize Palestine in September, at the next session of the UNGA.

Because the UN General Assembly takes summer holidays too. No matter how eager Carney may be to declare it, he still has to wait for the UNGA to resume in September.

Scrolling past, I thought that was a hippo in a blue hood. Now I feel bad for laughing.

Passengers fly on the inside, of course. There are two exits, one at the front and one at the rear. If you need assistance with boarding, one of our supposistewards will be happy to assist you. Thank you for choosing Qantass Airlines!

Dude might have been drunk. If it isn’t intentional, it’s usually a case of too drunk or too old.

Shiny.

No, you can rinse your balls as well.

“That’s called blinking, boys!”

That’s pretty much it. You shouldn’t be berating him for supporting Russia so much as you should be cheerleading him supporting Ukraine.

You’re with WSJ? Yeah, you’re fucked.

Why would this go to the US at all? They said it was a European issue and bowed out.

Trump just looks so weak here. So much for being a strongman. I guess he just likes being manhandled?

I was recently considering them while shopping for an EV, but then discovered the reason their offerings are so subpar is that Subaru tethered themselves to Toyata for EV development, and Toyota is obstinately years behind the technology leaders in the field. Tesla was the frontrunner for EV range for many years, but others (not Subaru) have caught them now. And as Tesla never fixed their build quality problems, they’re second tier at best now. I concur, I would buy a Subaru ICE car, but I may never have to buy one of those again.

I got a woodstove recently and got the same warning about the glass door on the front. Don’t clean it with paper towels or it will scratch up the glass. They recommend using newspaper instead.

They will take measures such as installing cameras in offices, presumably to ensure that not a single moment of a sexual encounter is missed by their devoted followers.
