Not seeing Panama. Was just there and saw many US retirees.

Love this thread.

welp...sometimes sunlight is the best disinfectant.

nice explainer about Prighozin

Interesting development.

I just hope their idea of a City Connect uniform doesn't include gambling company logos.

Yikes but this feels true

Some good stuff in the portion I got to read

From the same feed. Good work Vladdie.

Another stunning victory for Vladdie

Found this on the same feed and its amazing.

Was sent this yesterday. Very much want to watch

Imagine what happens when Elon Musk gets to name something. T*tty 420 Field Brought to you by Adderall and what was I saying just then?

True dat.

Domestically...I'll give you that. He has been a Jose Andres level, Michelin star wrt foreign policy.

Romad has a shiver up his spine

If he "loved" dogs, he would have a dog. He's actually a dog-hater and as such should be viewed as a possible terminator (the slow moving, fat models skynet built when they were prototyping) or the anti-Christ. The latter seems to fit all the hoary warnings I was given as a kid by the magazines they gave away at Kroger and Great Scott.

and here is why.

Oh golly gee...I don't think it works like that Yevgeny https://www.rferl.org/a/wagner-prigozhin-urges-moscow-end-war-ukraine/32365878.html

As a die-hard GOP guy for my entire life, Biden has been outstanding. He's restored regular order to most things the government does. He got us through COVID lockdowns, he has navigated Russia and China to a much better degree than any President could have been expected since HW Bush or Nixon (both famously foreign policy specialists). He smacked down the nonsense GOP plans to cut the most popular social safety net program that I paid into all my gd life. My negatives: He's older than I like. The degree to which people try to generate outrage against him is weird and artificial.

So, about the latter issue. Navigating all that stuff in a collaborative environment is a headache. The value of information was proven beyond any doubt by the timely provision of critical information to Ukraine about Russia's plans and intentions in the opening hours. The battle of Hostumel. The deployment of artillery to staunch that part of the attack was all because of our data fed and made part of dynamic targeting. However, if you reveal sources and methods to the guy who just wants to get back at his boss for being mean to him... well, facaccta.

Yeah, that reflects a lot of ignorance of how things get done. Network admins are way too powerful in the system where all the bosses are IT illiterate. Also, I spend a lot of time waiting for char women and other worker bees to move along while discussing things where i work. We go to the "so about the alien autopsy, did we find the creature's second heart?" and other nonsense banter to wait them out.

This crap has got to be rooted out and rooted out hard.
