People who always have to back into parking spaces (especially in massive pickup trucks): what the fuck is wrong with you?

that twitter billionaire's dumbass grok image proposing oil transfer by land through what looks like oman and uae, both currently in range of iranian drones and missiles. the trucks have been replaced by a giant slip n' slide running between the ships and a caption that reads "Pour Oil into Giant Slip n' Slide"

Can this be a solution?

1. Buy the bridge.

2. Hire a troll to make people answer his riddles three in order to cross, or pay $39.99, plus gratuity.

3. Profit?

Over a week ago, in the FT, the *shipping* guys were saying "it's not just insurance. We just don't actually want our ships blown up."

First, we track down a bunch of magic lamps, which I’m guessing they have just lying around there. Then, we…fill each one with a lil bit of oil, and pass it, person to person (Hands Across America style) to another tanker.

Can I be CEO of Aramco now?

Two Live Nation Entertainment Inc. executives bragged about the high fees the company charges fans at its venues, joking in internal messages that the company is β€œrobbing them blind” and that β€œthese people are so stupid” that β€œI almost feel bad taking advantage of them.”

In a series of chats from 2022, Ben Baker and Jeff Weinhold, two regional directors of ticketing for Live Nation amphitheaters, boasted about their ability to raise so-called β€œancillary fees” – like parking, lawn chair rentals and VIP access – and still get concertgoers to pay for them. In one exchange, Weinhold gloated about raising VIP parking costs at a Virginia concert venue to $250.

β€œThese people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them,” Baker wrote, adding later, β€œI gouge them on ancil prices.”

In another exchange, he bragged about charging β€œ$50 to park in the grass” and β€œ$60 for closer grass.”

β€œRobbing them blind, baby,” he said, β€œthat’s how we do it.”

The company said in a statement that the messages did not reflect its values.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

As a reminder, the Senate GOP caucus could have all been rid of this nonsense in February 2021 if they’d simply been able to locate their respective testicles
