Who is to say that this isn't a test of our faith.

I wonder if it had occurred to any of Trump's people that this could lead to a breakout in military conflict between Morocco and Algeria (a conflict which Algeria is way more prepared for). Morocco has been cooperative with the US and NATO for a long time, but the latter have sat on the fence when it has come to intra-Maghreb issues.

There's just a lot of little things that are starting to add up. For example, the West's biggest cultural export this summer (The Odyssey) was filmed on conquered land in Western Sahara. It all sends the message that they don't care about the pretense of neutrality. Reninds me of the USA fucking around with Ukrainan politics in the 2010s, and the fallout from that.

I wonder if this is some "creative accounting" to account for any F-35s that might have gotten destroyed in Iranian missile strikes.

Tolstoy had random chapters in War and Peace where he would dunk on the Masons.

Tolstoy warned us about this.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for Trevor Horn's wall of sound production style. Interestingly, I've always gotten the impression that Seal felt a bit artistically disconnected from his 90's albums because of that.

I'm a little older, so it would have been cassettes in the 90s. If I got my pick, it would be Superunknown and Badmotorfinger from Soundgarden and Dirt from Alice in Chains. Grunge music was my jam back then. My mom was really into R&B and Pop music, and I developed an appreciation for it - I still think Seal's second album is pretty good and listenable, and would have been down for that during the car ride.

You gotta think of the upside, like how the panopticon helped the cops rescue Nancy Guthrie!

I wanna snorkle on a Cambrian beach so bad

The Daily Wire is going to get right on that after their IPO.

Are these people capable of second-order thinking? They seem to think that the only thing that's going to happen is that the mid summer weather is going to get worse.

I'd Like to See Ol Jared Wriggle His Way Out of THIS Jam!
