Everyone in the GOP wants a favor from Trump before he dies, I think that's what's happening.

Are you eating the cheese block like an apple?

That's the way.

You can buy a turn key donuts shop for $140k in some smaller American towns.

Even 1970s anti ship missiles are tough to defend against.

Folks with SNAP are more likely to shop at multiple grocery stores for deals.

This man is an idiot.

I want a sequel to The Martian where he's stuck in New Jersey.

Show us your Bill Clinton tattoo for proof of life.

Add an egg and some whisking and folks can also have a wings-flavored meringue on top.

Dagwood it.

I am jealous of military logistics mostly.

Truman hit 32% with the Korean war.

Let's see if Trump can go lower.

The initial Afghan war was sold as a targeted attack on Al Qaeda, not a regime changing quagmire.

It did not stay at 90% for long.

Northern Israeli towns are burning.

This does not seem to be winding down.

Libreoffice works like Office 2013 before AI and is free.

Microsoft is indeed Microslop.

Some new games are shooting for millions of NPCs, no longer possible to have voice acting for every character for every project.

VO projects will always be out there though, just not as many as before.

Sad all around.

I don't engage in whataboutism.

I have family in China, and I've been there multiple times.

I know what China is.

Did Epstein ever work as a back rooms arms dealer for the United States like he knowingly did for the UK?

Was Epstein ever protected from investigation by one of our federal agencies or presidents, and who?

Social safety net?

China has had a 5x increase in homelessness since Covid hit, and that is largely because Xi realized during Covid if he turned consumption inward there would be no Xi or CCP in power for long.

Xi is trying to extract debt from Africa for more military ports and as leverage.

Eh, better than watching your relatives die one-by-one from lung cancer.

Do vapes cause cancer? Because anything is better than cigarettes.

Xi could right now greenlight industries that would absorb the glut of college educated younglings in his country, but he is afraid.

Communism as a vox populi works from rapid agrarian -> industrial, it runs into problems pretty quickly thereafter.

Also, there are a lot of mammals out there why so few milkable species repped at the store?

China is using debt-trap diplomacy to dump its consumers goods on Africa because Xi - and in general the CCP elite - are terrified of a powerful growing Chinese middle class.

Once Chinese industrial contribution is replaced with growing middle income consumption among Chinese folk, what then?

UncPunk is the thing.

Arctic Winter Games open in Whitehorse to cheering fans, athletes For the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Arctic Winter Games opened in Whitehorse, Yukon.

As the opening ceremonies of this year’s Arctic Winter Games were underway there were the usual fireworks and fanfare, but also an artist’s moment that took six years to make happen.

Folks who need black coffee should just pick it up at a gas station FFS.

It is like going to an ice cream store for a cone.

Would alien astrological phenomena be different depending upon the planetary alignments in alien star systems?

Is there some sort of astrological "Planetary System Architecture" that can be divined uniquely for each star system?

Fascists want their opponents to burn energy dissecting their lies and calling them hypocrites.

Just assume Trump is lying.

Voting in one's skivvies in one's own home with a thick voters' pamphlet should be a constitutional right.

My great uncle used to send me coupons and baseball cards randomly before the end.
