More like the Strait of Hardly Moves, amirite?
Some good news on that front (and it’s a class action)

Iran has been preparing for this war for 40 years, but what Trump & Co boldly asked was: what if they hadn’t?
In the EU they don’t let in-house lawyers have privilege because they think in-house lawyers don’t have sufficient independence to give proper advice, on the basis that they can be fired so their advice may be tailored around keeping their job. Situations like this make me think the EU may be right.
Well that would explain it
The motherfucker Mr Magoo’d us all into a shooting war and is now like “herp a derp wow they got a lot of boats”
For sure. I am very grateful and hope it works
If Trump wants money for the conflict with Iran, he should have to take it from the Gestapo.
the thing is that, had they really leaned into her being artificial, like Hatsune Miku, it could have legs. Better a superb weirdo bot than a mediocre human imitation
We just have to ship the solar + wind + battery equipment from the places where such things are made, which is I’m sure a minor problem that doesn’t require oil, nor does their production
Because when I think about what scares me about the prospect of captaining or crewing an oil tanker through an active war zone, what I’m most worried about is whether the shipper will be made whole
Ah, there it is.

Really sounds like somebody wants to build a spank bank with this
Ah it's different if it's attributing false opinions to someone?
i wonder what future generations will think when they look back at today's youtube thumbnail artwork. i assume it will feel like old-timey circus posters do today
I've been saying for ages that I would love to see an exhibition on them and their evolution over the years
I think something to keep in mind for any community from stamp collectors to socialists is that you by definition see more posts from people who spend all day posting than people who go outside and have friends and stuff.
Lycanthropology: the study of werewolf culture
Is this anything

(I'm drawing this from the book ZEALOT by Reza Aslan which I found to be a good and thought-provoking popular introduction to the scholarship on the history of Jesus and the early Christian Church)
He and Paul have a long campaign of passive-agressive letters about what is required of non-Jews to be Christians that gets Paul hauled back to Jerusalem to take a ritual bath multiple times!
Who was the leader of the early Christian church that survived Jesus in Jerusalem!
Dude literally has a brother who is just as reasonably well-attested in Roman sources as most of our other Roman historical figures from the time period
AIUI it began with Greek-speaking Roman diaspora Jews (which is why the Gospel writers are all writing in Greek) and then spread to Roman non-Jews
Why not defamation claims?
Very much disagree about that last bit—the best explanation I've ever been given for why the Roman authorities executed Jesus is that his turning the moneylenders out of the Temple and calling himself the King of the Jews was explicitly seen as part of a Jewish political project & a threat to order
