Every single oil executive in the entire world must be having the same slow, horrible realization that led Rex Tillerson to eventually snap and call Trump a "fucking moron".

I just checked after seeing this, it's been four minutes since you posted, and it's already up a buck and a half (but could just be marginal fluctuation now)

Recall the months, in most cases year+ delay that the scores of troops wounded in the January 2020 strikes after the Soleimani hit had to wait for a Purple Heart. Because Trump wanted his 'no one was harmed' lie to be the headline and then said TBIs didn't really count.

Your reminder that Ludditesβ€”the actual people in the early 1800s, not modern, incoherent, quarrelsome online anprims (iykyk)β€”were not inherently anti-technology, but specifically against new technologies that were deployed to take away their standard of living, actually decent for their era

The Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed U.S. service members was more severe than previously known. Dozens were injured with brain trauma, shrapnel wounds and burns, with over 30 still hospitalized, including about 25 at Landstuhl in Germany. -CBS News

this song is NOT about how shitty of a paper the NYT is or how bad they are at covering national news. Nor how biased they (and you) are in favor of the fascist regime.

PS you know you can get your NYT PR account verified on here? Would make you all appear slightly less amateurish

Pop a collar on a polo and you look stupid. Pop a collar on a jacket or coat and sometimes it looks cool. Anyway I don't wear polos much anymore. My wife doesn't like them so I stopped buying em a while ago.
