Comedy Of Errors

A beautiful euphemism. We could apply it to all of the USA’s current admin and its activities.

I’m not sure I like that you think that distinction matters to ICE and the US’s current admin.

Why even a zip code?

That’s the minimum personal data Merrill has determined his company is legally required to keep about its customers for tax purposes.

A little personal peeve:

But to call such anonymous phones “burners” suggests that they’re for something illegal, shady, or at least subversive.

I mean I guess so, but primarily “burner” implies that it’s disposable. Which above project is not aiming to be. Prepaid anonymous SIM cards already exist.

healthy

* not sick yet

Everybody gets sick evtl. and if health care isn’t available chances are it won’t get better or it’ll leave permanent marks.

Replace her in your mind with any rich person stealing 4 chickens worth of anything, with or without good reason…

The what now? Sorry, there’s been too many school shootings in between.

And that’s just what they’re willing to admit publicly a.k.a. the tip of the iceberg.

State internet regulator Roskomnadzor alleged in a statement that the service is being “used to organize and conduct terrorist activities on the territory of the country, to recruit perpetrators (and) commit fraud and other crimes against our citizens.” Apple did not respond to an emailed request for comment.

Lol, what could you possibly reply to that? “It’s bullshit.” OTOH, in the current political climate in the USA, they’re probably wise to just not say anything.

I wish I could say Darwinism will sort it out, but it will mow down the wrong people. Those pulling the strings will still get their vaccines (on the down low). Once again, fuck this timeline. But since we cannot switch it’s time to help Darwin out a little.

An unknown volcanic eruption (…) triggering a cool and overcast period in the Mediterranean, the eruption started a domino effect that led to a downturn in agricultural production, which required merchants to import grain — and the bacterium Yersinia pestis that causes bubonic plague — via the Black Sea.

“Unknown”?

When combing through contemporaneous historical accounts, the researchers noticed reports of reduced sunshine, increased cloudiness and a dark lunar eclipse, all independently reported by observers in parts of Asia and Europe between 1345 and 1349. All of these astronomical and weather phenomena could be attributed to a large-scale volcanic aerosol layer

“California must not be allowed to gerrymander their districts in favor of Democrats that close to the election.”

Somehow I feel this headline could be much shorter, more concise. Let’s see…

SCOTUS SUCKS DON’S DICK AGAIN

This makes me feel bad.

Exactly. It all just creates more “feeling bad”.

“Not that pesky compassion again! Need to get this done by tomorrow.”

Simple as that.

If that happens, nations around the globe should really wake up to the threat coming from the USA.

…oh, who am I kidding…

Fellow being, this particular mask has been off ever since Donny the Destroyer appointed his cronies to be SCOTUS judges - “too close” to the election, btw.

Fuck that shit. They use this argument whenever it suits them. And what suits this fascist admin, suits the SCOTUS.

Didn’t Trump himself appoint SCOTUS judges “too close” to the election? Clowns.

Well, that sort of podcast won’t survive for long in my podcatcher app.

But the “2 guys” format is very common, and to stay with the theme of the cartoon:

Often one of the duo is clearly the main guy while the other interjects something that tries to be humorous but falls flat, or contributes so little that they’re just a sounding board for #1.

In some podcasts this is so bad that I constantly carry a little vicarious embarassment for #2 while listening.

A little scripting helps, or an agreement that e.g. #1 talks (freely) and #2 reads (articles or quotes etc.).

AMD marches “against Intel”? Is there some sort of confrontation going on between the 2? Or does this just mean AMD makes good processors and sells better?
