I’m heading troublesome reports that assassinating the leader of the spice rich regions is not working as per plan; since the son has survived and is leading a religious rebellion blocking spice exports.
Let’s see what happens if Imperial Sardaukar are deployed.
This is true, but people want real value for taxes. If you give them guaranteed retirements at 55 or 60, free schooling of any kind, UBI, health care with $5 copays, free museums and libraries open 24/7 -- taxes seem fine. But no one in power really wants to do that so we get this stuff instead.

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

Could this be a solution?
It really is astonishing how little some people think. That's an enormous amount of infrastructure to build and it would all likely still be in range of Iranian weapons. You might as well suggest transporting the oil via blimps or carrier pigeons.
But de-carbonizing the economy is too silly.
Yes I’d like to see them be held to some accountability as in having their business destroyed by lawsuits.
This. So much this.
Does it just underline every use of the word "expansive" and assume that you meant "expensive"? Yes, Word "Some words are similar, but used differently," because they're different words.
It's like the grammar check is high, and saying "You ever notice that, like, words can be similar?"
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 (via F1)
so what happened was, i read nine john le carré books, then i saw the pictures of the preposterous drapery SCIF at mar a lago where the iran war was being conducted, and then i thought about how many spies there must be at that place
and then i wrote a short story

"Human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.'"
This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.
An inappropriate relationship at Ohio State?
*shakes head*
No, it's THE inappropriate relationship
Very nice tribute to Troy Murray before the anthem. Hard to overstate how much love there is, has been and will continue to be in and around the Blackhawks oragnization for Troy.
and I hope he understood how much fans appreciated him. I hope his family finds peace in his memory, and I hope we all take time to let the ones around us know we love them. 2/2
We should do appreciations for people before they pass. The @chicagoblackhawks.bsky.social tribute for Troy Murray is excellent, but it feels somehow sadder that such a moving moment comes only after his passing. Murray's voice was my gateway into the Blackhawks, 1/2
excellent story about a disturbing new piece of our reality:

I don't know where Alex Martinez got that impressive scar, but until I do, I am going to assume he saved a busload of orphan nuns from being kidnapped by neo-Nazi bikers. Between periods.
