  1. I just watched The Departed again following some youtube vid that claimed that Matt Damon's Sullivan character was closeted. It actually changed a couple things in the watching. Of course it surprises him that Vera Farmiga is pregnant since they show him having a "problem" with intimacy earlier. And, the Sullivan character has been overtly flirty with women all around the office...like he's concealing something? So, the baby that Vera Farmiga has on the way might be Leonardo Decaprio's Costigian character's?
  2. Did Archie heel turn against Trump and Trump Jr all of a sudden? He just described them.
  3. Lets set aside that Jeffrey Sachs is routinely featured on the most virulent show in Russia.
  4. Russia pays well for its propaganda.
  5. oh, interesting
  6. Most interesting tidbit i read about these dudes.. I have all sorts of thoughts about Eagle Scout projects having supervised a couple. Some of them are super easy fig leafs in which the doting helicopter parents do all the work. Others are hyper ambitious and involve actual struggle (in the Virgina heat!) and represent real program management skills. A plaque celebrating a couple of left wing anarchists' trial might have had an interesting approval process in normally very square Boy Scout circles. I get the various historical stances on the correctness of their conviction....but still.
  7. Kind of amazing that a town in Ukraine is still named for a pair of historically significant Italian immigrants to the United States after the fall of the Soviet Union
  8. All that made my head hurt. Is the Jason Mendoza depiction of Jacksonville from "the Good Place" that accurate?
  9. Xi seems to be good at being a gangster. They routinely stiff their creditors.
  10. This is amusing...the obscurity of the Svalbard seed bank part, not the rest of it which is pretty pedestrian.
  11. My hypothesis is that he's working toward his Junior Achiever badge from the INRA.
  12. and it continues under Vladdie
  13. reminds me of the beginning of Desert Storm.
  14. NRA got all that sweet cash from Russia
  15. 1945-1991 was a pretty decent investment. Our stuff from then is still outfighting their crap from then.
  16. Because the Russians suck at this. They may be genocidal monsters but they suck at war.
  17. I think if you are pro-genocide its got to be a deal-breaker in the dating world.
  18. well, you have to trust Ukraine to tell the truth on this. but if so, It appears that the Iranian designers of the Shaheed were treasonous because they fell victim to the previously destroyed 5 Patriot batteries.
  19. The crazy apple falls not far from the tree of crazy
  20. So, its all going to plan
  21. Not arrested: the designers of the Patriot system and its multiple system upgrades. Also not arrested, the designers of the NLAW/Javelin, HIMARS, Storm Shadow and the AGM-88.
  22. That movie is very very good.
  23. Exactly the sort of thing you do to prove you destroyed a Patriot Battery or whatever else the Orcs are claiming That's some Darth Vader level evil. Didn't the same exact thing happen in Rogue One?
