hey man, I hope you keep going. I hope you find some kind of thing to latch onto if you need that, to hang onto. I hope you stick around to find it. Do what you've got to do, but please, stick around in this world. do not let anyone else win. you're worth it. I promise you are, bro.

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?

CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.

Interviewer: You might be able to catch some. It's all completely virtual. It's very simple, but it's also an overlay of physically based information that now exists on top of the real world.

Herzog: When two persons in search of a pokΓ©mon clash at the corner of Sunset and San Vicente is there violence? Is there murder?

Interviewer: They do fight, virtually.

Herzog: Physically, do they fight?

Interviewer: No-

Herzog: Do they bite each other's hands? Do they punch each other?

Happy 30th birthday to PokΓ©mon. Without it, the greatest Werner Herzog quote of all time would not exist.

iran could get critical online support for this if, instead of deploying mines, they simply deployed One Big Boat, which then got stuck

But it’s hard to explain to people that this is a feature, not a bug, when they just want a way to make it all stop. November every two years is not the best feedback mechanism ever, but it’s the one we have.

Certainly we are better off with what we have now than Labour in the UK. One advantage of having a party full of feral cats is that it is much more difficult (though not impossible) for any kind of leadership to commit themselves to things that their voters don’t want.

i do think that if you are going to put egyptian mummies on display, that the room they are in should at least have a Ka door, and that there should be food placed on the lintel. the Rosicrucian Museum has one of those upstairs in the Akhenaten exhibit and it changed my opinion on repatriation.
