I was going from his Wikipedia page. It really doesn't matter, Chapman presumably was aware of this when it hired him, since he made no effort to hide it.

I think he was 65, but yeah, awful.

Chapman parts ways with Jack Horner following Epstein files mention — The Panther Newspaper Emails released by the Department of Justice show that lecturer Horner and Jeffrey Epstein corresponded and met on multiple occasions.

At least we got rid of this Epstein connection www.thepanthernewspaper.org/news/chapman...

His suit gets pressed once in Chicago, and then he gets to wash and have new clothes in the Rapid City hospital, but yeah, tough week

I would wish you good luck for convincing the crews of tankers to participate

Annual number of objects launched into space Line chart showing annual counts from 1957 to 2025 on the horizontal axis and counts from 0 to 5,000 on the vertical axis. The caption notes this includes satellites, probes, landers, crewed spacecraft, and space station flight elements launched into Earth orbit or beyond. From 1957 through about 2015, the plotted lines for individual countries and the world stay low and relatively flat; after about 2018, there is a sudden, steep rise, with the world total climbing to roughly 4,000 to 5,000 launches per year and the United States rising to just under the world total. Other series shown in the legend — China, Russia, Japan, France, Germany, United Kingdom, India, and European Space Agency — also increase more modestly and remain well below the world and United States lines.

A record number of objects went into space in 2025—

4,510 objects were launched into space in 2025, surpassing the previous peak of 2,903 objects in 2023 by a large margin.

The data shows that US agencies and companies were responsible for launching 3,708 of these objects — 82% of the global total

If I'm a foreign government, I'm putting everything into monitoring/hacking these stupid betting sites

I'm old enough to remember when we were sure it was Cuba that would be the next regime targeted for change (it was yesterday)

He explicitly says he is in the quoted skeet

Worth noting that Iran has more people than any European country other than Russia and is almost three times the size of France

Couldn't be worse than watching the Rangers this season

Anyway, if the NHL is looking for new ideas, I think this is a pretty good one.

Wild dream in which I was watching a hockey game on TV, and two bearded guys in women's figure-skating dresses and skates invaded the ice during play, like streakers. They just kept going back up and down the ice with the players and referees, who ignored them. The announcers were laughing.

the entirety of europe and china must commit to sanctions against the US and its oligarchs. crashing the nasdaq is simple and it will work

If Americans can’t figure out why we’re starting a war with Iran, then frankly they don’t deserve to know.
