I won’t defend George w. But there was a whole chain of people that fucked up. Kathleen Blanco was governor at the time, idk who the mayor was, who was in charge of the national guard, who was point man for FEMA at the time. A whole chain of people doing fucking nothing.
It’s easy to blame the president in such situations, and he certainly deserves his share of it. But the entire affair was mediocre at best. I don’t think it was malicious, just fucking embarrassing…
Still not a drag queen…
My kitty will only drink freshly poured (we keep a pitcher of water around usually) cup of water. Out of a human cup. No saucers. She wants the cup. Shell jam her little head in there and be happy about it. I’m waiting for the day she gets stuck. Such a little weirdo!
From what I hear BYD is better than Tesla at this point. I think we’ve come to the time where China is reaching parity with us tech. I mean what do we have that they don’t?
They are. Till they’re not. They’re dumb AF and will just panic for no reason. And they weigh a literal ton, so fight and flight is basically the same thing.

!That scene towards the end when he asks the bishop “what do you know of war?” was amazing.!<
A great movie all around! Definitely one of 2024’s best!
From what I’ve heard about the secret service they were probably at the bar getting plastered. The thief probably had no idea who she was. Or…
This was an arranged dead drop to pass Intel off to Russia. This way the narrative is she was robbed, not just giving a package to some rando. No evidence to back that up, just wild internet speculation for your Tuesday morning.
It’s Herbert! I always wondered what the H was and now I know!
I haven’t owned a personal auto for 12 years, my commute is dictated by how fast I walk. And I’m tired of things being designed to cater to the dumbest among us. Look both ways before you cross the road. Know where you’re going and how you’ll get there before you begin your trip.
Hard disagree. Traffic flows so much better with one ways. If you can’t figure out how alternating streets work, then that’s a you problem. We got rid of them in my town because the bottom 10 percent of the bell curve just couldn’t, and the results were predictable.
Fucking cartoonish in their villainy…
I was wondering about that. Like these people are being deported, but instead they’re just in a gulag for how long… Are they actually being repatriated to their country of origin?
It predates aliens as little green men. And I’m sure the word is a legally recognized phrase. It’s quickly becoming, if not already a slur though. Here’s googles etymological breakdown.
The word “alien” originates from the Latin word “aliễnus,” meaning “belonging to another, foreign, strange”. It’s a derivative of “alius,” meaning “other,” ultimately tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European root "h,élyos. This root also gives rise to the word “else”. The word “alien” entered Middle English from Old French, and its earliest usage as a noun and adjective in the 14th century referred to foreigners or strangers.
It’s half grift, half an avenue for bribery. Buying a lot of this coin is slightly less conspicuous than showing up at the white house with a sack of krugerrands.
Then again with this administration the grift is just right out in the open. So maybe this is a dumb as it looks.
This is why we’ve seen such interest in fusion tech lately imho…
China will fuck with Taiwan just enough to get them to melt their chip foundries, then blockade the fuck out of them till they say uncle. Give china another five years or so to get their own chip industry to something approaching parity, then they’ll strike. Once Taiwan loses their best export, support for them will plummet.
