James Talarico says it’s time to start flipping tables

Every country that has built out their solar energy / wind energy infrastructure is saying "let's keep this up." Every one that didn't is saying, "why didn't we do that?"

Obviously he can do that. He can do a lot worse, with just the press of a button.

Yeah. "Adolescence", for example, was excellent.

It's remarkable that it's taken so long for the stock market to recognize that we're headed for a global recession.

I read the news.

I'm pretty sure the most dangerous man in the world is the malignant narcissist with nuclear weapons.

This is what I've been saying. With modern technology it should be relatively simple to line up the Earth's axis with its rotational axis around the sun. Voila, no more need for daylight savings. Easy peasy.

This is the problem with Netflix shows. They put a bunch of names in the show, and know that x# people will watch, because of the names, it's free with the subscription, etc. It's lazy. But when "Daytrippers" was made, you had to motivate people to watch. Bygone era.

Their acting, improv, rapport, make you really interested in them. You want to spend time with them, see what happens, even though very little does. Whereas with "Vladimir", even though it starts with a big reveal, you don't care at all. The actors seem like they've never met.

We were watching "Vladimir", a new Netflix series, then we got bored and I finished watching "Daytrippers", an old movie with Parker Posey, Stanley Tucci, Anne Meara, etc. The contrast could not be stronger. "Daytrippers" is just four people driving around in a car, but you're interested in them.

Laden Iranian ships depart Chinese port tied to key military chemicals Experts said the vessels are probably carrying a key precursor for rocket fuel, making it notable that Beijing let them sail while the U.S. and Iran are at war.

At this point we have Russia giving Iran the locations of US ships so they can bomb them, and China supplying Iran with materials for rocket fuel. The United States, Russia, and China are all moving in the same direction, and it's not towards peace.

There's probably a ton of real life examples of this.

I have a zero tolerance rule for insults. You insult me, you're blocked. Works great. Super satisfying.

It's his most relatable characteristic.

I know a lot of Fetterman voters, and there's not one of them who doesn't regret their vote.
That said, as terrible as Fetterman is, he's still not a Republican. He's good on LGBTQ, abortion, minimum wage.
But he won't survive the next Democratic primary.

I'm reading "Abundance", about the prospects of an end soon to worldwide poverty, and Nietzsche. "Abundance", from 2012, already seems wildly out of date (e.g., Moore's law was ending when they wrote it; since then we've had Musk, Trump, and AI). But Nietzsche is full fresh, difficult, and relevant.

The worst SO FAR. Imagine how bad they would be if they were also competent.

The Democrats (and some Republicans) harassing Kristi Noem into saying stuff that finally got her fired shows that Democrats can, in fact, do something. It's not a hell of a lot, but it is something.

The Glaring Oversight in the U.S. War Plan The Pentagon failed to adopt Ukraine’s best tools for downing drones.

This article explains why. We did not prepare for Iran's drones even though Ukraine was ready and willing to help against the exact same weapon.
This is what you get when the qualifications of your SecDef are "looks good on tv" and "promised to stop drinking."

We may actually lose this war. It seems incredible to say, but we're using million dollar missiles to shoot down drones that cost like $11. We could run out of the missiles before Iran runs out of drones. And then we'll have to, well, withdraw our ships to a safe distance.

Well, at least now we won't have gendered insults for the Secretary of DHS.

BREAKING: President Trump announced that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will be stepping down at the end of the month after serving for just over a year in her role and tapping Sen. Markwayne Mullin to take over her post.

You might find this amusing.

You sure it's an unexploded missile, as opposed to a jettisoned stage in a multistage rocket?

The main thing motivating the anti-ICE resistance is the feeling that we are, in fact, winning. Every day, more and more people stand up, get trained, print and distribute whistles, learn to ID ICE agents. The only way for the regime to win would have been to do it all at once. Too late now.

What government gives a guarantee against tyranny?

The problem being that while he does have knowledge on how to build a replacement building, he has no idea on how to stand up a replacement government. Venezuela has given him the idea that it's not as hard as people say.
