The Iranian George Bush is practicing the line "we can't wait for Trump's crashout to come in the form of a mushroom cloud" in the mirror right now

My only pushback is that just based on civilian death toll, at this point it's probably better to call Milosevic Discount Netanyahu
Back in 2013 our evacuation plan in case the airport road was closed was a dodgy looking boat that would supposedly survive the journey from Jbeil to Cyprus. I imagine the marinas there and in Jounieh have several expats about now
(Intro to every episode)
- Sir, the Cubans want to steal the statue of liberty!
- Let's stop them with the army.
- Sir, they aren't good enough! We need those four green berets who live in a van!
- But those cowboys don't follow the rules!
I assume it's post-Vietnam, post-civil rights movement right wing neurosis, but it's noticeable how much of that era's entertainment was "badass ex-special forces types that the govt a) needs for fighting crime/terrorists/commies/etc. but also b) wants to arrest for the crime of being too badass"
Good article and I feel seen when @mckaycoppins.bsky.social describes how *exhausting* Vegas feels. I spent a weekend there once; day one I thought it was great, day two I thought it was ok, day three I wanted to kill somebody
@katmabu.bsky.social thinks LeBron James > Michael Jordan
I've got a friend who works at Fema--well she used to, until some Doge bros decided disaster recovery is woke and gay and made her and a lot of her coworkers walk the plank. Anyway I wonder what her thoughts are about this

R-minivan. R-hatchback. R-station wagon with wood paneling and sexy lounge seating. The glory and utility of classic design in a futuristic EV package. C'mon auto designers of America, use your imagination!
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
"Nobody knows how the system works. They handle their own little corner of it but nobody knows what's going on."
Nabatiyeh is being completely razed to the ground by the Israelis. It was one of the largest cities in South Lebanon, around 100,000 people. Now around 150 families left there.

Do the attacks have to be true or relevant, and will I get paid if I make some up? @katmabu.bsky.social thinks Don Jr. is cute
The IRA barely passed (via the leadership of a literal West Virginia coal baron senator, which I'll never get my head around) and I don't see that happening if, say, oil money is central to the social security budget
To play devil's advocate, we let obsolete businesses die all the time but the only example I can think of where we shut down a profitable business that made useful products, had political support and was central to people's identity is slavery. Do we act on climate at all if the USG owns oil wells?
As a secret Antifa asset, Donald Trump helps leftist parties win elections around the world by acting like a jackass, But he is also a secret clean energy asset, making fossil fuels expensive via the dumbest possible moves
Every time Bush or Cheney would muse about Iran a bunch of generals and NSC types would materialize to show them how hard invading would be, how many US bases would get hit, and what would happen to the price of gas, and that would be the end of the conversation. But all those people have been fired
Not the main point but, mutilization?
Good Lord is this true. Somebody during covid babbling about ivermectin wasn't getting it from, or reacting to, public health messaging
I wonder if early America's superpower was simply an oversupply of drunk assholes ready to cannonball into the unknown because prudence is for wimps
I love olden tymes "got them drunk" accusations because hey, the guy was giving out whiskey at 8 AM on Sunday, what are we supposed to do, not drink ourselves under the table right before church?
I can't find it but that guy wrote the greatest description of the decor in Saddam's palaces: "imagine an 18 year old kid signing a multi-million dollar NBA contract and converting to Islam"
Human lives are more important than architecture but these are absolute treasures, some of the most beautiful things humans can do. The fact that they're being destroyed by a pedophile barbarian with dementia is hard to take. This is like when different groups of halfwits destroyed Aleppo and Mosul
Florsheim? When I'm a dementia-addled warlord I'm at least going to have the generosity to give out custom made boots. I might give you a logger boot that you don't need--because of the dementia--but it'll still be a damn good boot

I only regret I have but two pronouns to give for my country
Why aren't those cowards marching in Tehran, it's not like it's dangerous out on the streets or anything

Yeah man why aren't the Iranian people walking unarmed towards troops who massacred them a few weeks ago while bombs fly overhead. Jesus these people are stupid. And the fact we put them in charge again says a lot about us.
I grew up during the killer bee panic and was somewhat disappointed when I learned they weren't going to be that big of a deal after all. We could use a good invasive species freakout but I don't want to get hurt again. These crabs better be the real thing
Sorry, 8 QBs. This is true BTW. Gabriel, Sanders, Watson, Zappe, Flacco, Pickett, Thompson-Robinson, and Jameis Winston

(Browns GM) Last year we had 9 QBs on the payroll and now we only have 4. Schneider's on the phone. I'm thinking we get Drew Lock for two firsts, or maybe Jalen Milroe for a first and a third. Maybe both.
