Farragut West! I'm sorry I didn't get his name!
Shout out to the WMATA employee standing just to the side of the flood of people leaving the faregates, wishing everyone that passed a good morning.
It reminded me, however briefly, that I was a person. π₯²
Unironically yes. Sell the world a $5000 BYD sedan and a million acres of pv cells
Chatham why aren't YOU running for congress
Holy shit, chicken-fried steak FOR TOMORROW
portioned for lunch
IS AN INCREDIBLE MANEUVER.
Alt text says it's awaiting gravy; are you taking it to work with a reheatable gravy sidecar?
I think my problem is that my knowledge base consists EXCLUSIVELY of this stuff, which is scarcely load-bearing information outside of a handful of industrial processes and/or green witch herbcraft
Thank you! I really appreciate you breaking this down.
along the lines of the MUPPET MOVIE's bit where someone yells "That's a myth! MYTH!" and Carol Kane pops up and goes "Yeth?"
I cannot help, every time someone uses "forthwith", also hearing "with force" with a similar lisp. "We shall do it forthwith, with force!"
I read about Iran harrying tankers, of courseβbut has the converse been true? are American and Israeli missiles striking Iranian tankers, or has Iranian transit through the strait been at the same dead stop as everyone else's?
I have a dumb question about that: doesn't Iran have oil it would like to export via the Strait?

"Blooski," says Senator Kennedy, for some reason that it hurts to interrogate
Do we call that incompetence, malice, or inappropriate LLM use by the AUSA? I guess maybe all three, right?
Genuinely heroic to come back under these circumstances
We don't even have the excuse of lead poisoning!
Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

And how's the headache flipboard tracker? How many days since the last incident?
i cannot get over how incredibly insane it is to think you can pull the same move you did on maduro against the entire regime of iran. in time this will be recognized as caligula-level insane. totally bonkers. hard to even fathom how someone could think this.
we want functional tools, not to have to offer prayers to the machine spirit to get excel to work
79% approval among republicans is scarcely an encouraging sign for a president that regularly puts up low 90s!
In this poll from january, 83% of GOP voters thought that the Venezuela Fiasco would stem the flow of illicit drugs into the US, which is, charitably, horseshit

It would be very, very grimly funny if this conflict destroyed enough oil refineries such that it ceased to be profitable to rebuild most of them. Like "augh, that's a 5-year project at least, by which time China will have made enough PV to pave the entire state of Arizona"
I'm also not in a mood to doom. Here's an oil analyst making a pretty stiff assertion, though:

I'm no newly-minted expert, but I will note that I looked at the price for brent crude in March 2022 when Russia first invaded Ukraine, and it was was like $120/barrel
I hope it takes, Nick!! Best of luck to youβyou are gathering SO MANY STORIES this year.

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand
When they start singing the marseillaise in the barβand you realize, holy shit, most of these actors playing French people are *FRENCH REFUGEES IN HOLLYWOOD* from the war that was ongoing during production!!
Man, it gives me chills
