I wonder if there is some pattern of downside to shaping your entire political party on the virtues of being petulant assholes aggressively committed to ending democracy.

Biden is such a wuss.

James Comer and Jim Jordan are threatening Hunter Biden with contempt of Congress.

Arrest Jim Jordan and go from there, that's what I say.

Years ago I read about designing the first space capsules and how engineers didn't want to put in a window because engineers hate holes in pressure vessels.

Then the other day a door plug thing blew out of that Alaska Airlines plane and these two bits of information combined beautifully in my head, and I wanted to tell someone but at best their reaction would be. 'Hm, ok.'

"All it took to uncover the fraud was a lick. Charles Hooreman stood in front of a chair for sale at the exclusive Parisian gallery Didier Aaron in 2012. It had allegedly been the property of Princess Louise Élizabeth, daughter of King Louis XV, but Hooreman was immediately suspicious. He noticed telltale signs of familiar handiwork; his practiced eye could spot many of the techniques used by popular furniture restorers working in Paris at the time, and he knew that one of them used melted licorice to make new wood look older. So he bent down for a lick. “I could taste the fraud,” he later told Vanity Fair." atlasobscura.com/articles/colu

Nobody should be presenting Substack choosing to remove 5 Nazi publications from its platform as a win. Platformer alone says it’s reviewed dozens spreading those ideas, and really the Nazi stuff is just the tip of the iceberg.

1) wonder why the power grid just shit itself

2) explain why there’s massive food shortages because there’s no ag EVs in production

3) even if you can harvest, good fucking luck distributing it.

4) you live in an area relying on fossil fuels for power? Lol, die poor

EV stans are so fucking stupid. EVs are the tail, not the head.

Dumbasses.

In a tangential thought, I’d like to know how many more shitheads attempted to enter the room after whatshername was shot trying.

I know court is a serious place, but I *do* hope the judge has a hard time suppressing the giggles when they punt this case into the sun.

😳FFS! Thankfully, everyone at home was safe.

“Special counsel #JackSmith, who is overseeing the prosecution of #Trump in two federal cases, was the target of an attempted swatting at his Maryland residence on Christmas Day.

According to two law enforcement sources, someone called 911 and said that Smith had shot his wife at the address where Smith lives.”

That's cute. PartitionMagic pretty successfully copies the look of Windows 95, although it's purely a DOS program, despite the confusing "DOS 32-bit Win95 executable" notice in the About screen. I don't even have Windows installed on this machine.

And while I'm on the topic of companies with not so great behavior - Boeing is squandering decades of customer trust. Flying feels a lot risker (and may actually be so!) in a Boeing than in a long time.
