After losing in court one can now safely mention that the Müller brand of milk products is owned by an AfD (Germany's officially declared "extreme right wing" party) supporting billionaire. Whose giant family relocated to Switzerland in 2003 btw, to avoid 30% inheritance tax when he passes.

שוק המניות הקוריאני נופל בחדות, למעלה מ-12%, ככל הנראה כשילוב בין התלות הקוריאנית בנפט לבין חששות מפני נפילה בשוק הבינמי עקב "מלחמת שלום האבו-ז'". הכלכלה הקוריאנית מאוד תלויה בנפט מחד ובהמשך צמיחת שוק ה-AI מאידך. אירוע.

Some delightful bit arbitrage

I imagine this will be one of multiple tactics. In places like TX where Rs have an AG, a governor, or both, they’ll lead the push to go to court. In states where they don’t, they’ll have private parties ready, challenging registrations beforehand and totals afterward. This is just the beginning.

If you're making excuses for Haus of Decline Protocols-posting in front of God and everyone, ask yourself if you would make the same excuses if she wasn't a popular online account who makes you feel good

"Not happening! ­ You’re asking too much. The budget is off limits to you.” So spoke USSR General Secretary Yuri Andropov in 1982, when Mikhail Gorbachev asked to see the Soviet bud­ get. Gorbachev was astounded that even an official such as himself—­ a Politburo member, one of the top dozen po­ liti­ cal figures in the entire country—­ was not allowed to see the coun- try’s consolidated figures for revenue and expenditure. Only ­ after becom- ing general secretary himself in 1985 did Gorbachev fi­ nally gain access to the Soviet bud­ get. He discovered, he ­ later wrote, that it was “full of holes.”

Israel simply does not have the power to force the US government to do something it does not want to do. What Rubio is doing here, by claiming Israel forced the US hand, is making Israel the scapegoat for a US policy he knows is unpopular. This framing is going to be so bad for Diaspora Jews.

I mean when has a hopeful moment of popular uprising against a despised regime ever given way to a new revolutionary government that came to be just as corrupt and repressive and sclerotic as the one it replaced. Certainly never before in Iran.

Assuming this is accurate, one assumes they'll try to blow this guy up next, but the swiftness of the transition is another strong indicator that the Venezuela-style decapitation plan is going to be really damn challenging in Iran where the regime is authoritarian but not personalist.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

do you remember when the left would always get very annoyed at right-wingers who would respond to anybody sympathizing with Palestinian suffering by saying “but do you disavow Hamas”

Now they’re doing the same thing but they’re doing it so they think it’s fine
