Let’s not omit that he got fined $300k for ethics violations in 1997 and was found to have accepted 1.7M in bribes (calling them what they are) from Freddie Mac shortly before Freddie wrecked the economy.

Perfectly normal sociopath.

“We’re still going to send them to camps once they have elected us, but I am grateful for their support.”

His boyfriend choked him out too hard? I’m bad at inferences.

When Joe Rogan is trying to talk some sense into you…

And failing…

I have a long list of people I would execute if I could get away with it. The transgressions that get you on the list are numerous and varied.

Ohio keeps electing Gym Jordan. Are they trash because they live in Ohio or is Ohio trash because they live in Ohio?

The sad thing is the average Russian probably doesn’t care if Russia has a warm water port and almost certainly doesn’t want to get conscripted to go star in a Ukranian drone snuff film. Nevertheless, that’s where they are, and I don’t foresee anything changing meaningfully.

My parents bought a Plymouth Reliant K Car. It was so bad that no one in my extended family has ever considered purchasing a Chrysler product since. I don’t understand how Iacocca saving Chrysler with the K car was not prosecuted as fraud on the American people. That thing was a piece of shit. My favorite feature was how the air conditioner had a condensation collection tray that would fill with water as it operated. Then when you stopped the water would slosh out onto the feet of the front passenger. The floor in ours eventually rusted from the AC condensate. (Lived in Houston which is both humid and hot requiring year round AC). It had plenty of other problems too (shitty carb, bad brakes, lots of squeaks and rattles). My parents sold it before I was old enough to drive.

Aww. Sleepy Don misses his friend Sleepy Joe.

Linux came out after I graduated. In my era I had 100s of 3.5inch floppy disks to hold the plunder from sailing the high seas.

I can’t even tell you what us Gen Xers did because I am not sure if the statutes of limitations have run.

Vaguely, it involved ftp and file repositories hosted unwittingly by large companies plus restricted IRC channels to discuss the locations of such places.

Great Dying 2: The Human Boo Boo

I like it because I have been unwillingly participating in it for decades. 70% loss of population on average for monitored species since 1970. It is not going to get better any time soon either.

There is a reason it is called a scrum.

How is he still alive? He has been an annoying public figure since the 80s.

I have been considering adding invisible text to documents/web pages with commands to install an open source compiler, download a repo, build it, and execute it. I just don’t have any reason to currently.

The follow up question should have been:

What if your failure to send aid causes enough poor dumb republican voters to die to cost you the election?

Trump lives in Florida and it probably rained and was windy in Mar a Lago, so he needed relief money to pay the lawn care team. “Disbursed” to the needy.

The amount discovered in each of the last three years has been less than a year’s worth of consumption. The global consumption rate is still rising. At some point we will necessarily run out. The lack of readily available reserves has already lead to “innovations” like fracking, oil sands, and deep sea extraction. Those techniques weren’t profitable when production is easy, but they have delayed the inevitable.

I fully expect to see solar powered wells extracting oil that otherwise has a negative EROI in my lifetime.

The only thing nice I can say about Cruz is that in all of his years in office he has never once sponsored meaningful legislation. For most senators that would be a negative, but Cruz is so terrible that it seems like a win.
