I am honestly not sure which is worse. That we have a world leader representing the US who believes

• the population is stupid and complacent enough to swallow this lie.

-that a bribe is something both laudable and acceptable from an active war opponent.

This really is Caligula loosing touch with reality.

Thanks.

Yeah, non statement as per MO.

Does anyone know the Japanese response yet? Or are they staying quiet?

Given that Kash Patel was in the locker room singing, I’ve a bad feeling that there’s a lot more pro Trump sentiments with this team.

Wonderful.

This reminds me of those morons that run out to buy ALL the toilet paper to sell later.

Except it’s the toilet paper manufacturers that are hoarding all their product because there are these billionaire fuck-bags that are promising to produce a massive pile of shit and will pay anything to have ALL the toilet paper.

Huh. I’m curious why they are focusing on the ink as the vector for this pathogen, but no mention of the shop’s sterile procedures (although given that one of the four patients had the tattoo as far back as 35 years ago, a proper investigation might have been tough.)

I think the PSA here is:

If you want to get a tattoo, check and research both the shop and artists on your own before committing. Make sure that they are following all possible health care practices, including their use of legit sourced tools and equipment. And please, please, follow the shop’s post-care instructions to avoid any infections.

Please, please, let me hear that sweet innocent Elon has somehow tragically and totally accidentally fallen out of window in the next few months.

Uh huh, no thanks. We need to clean house on our own.

I cannot stop laughing, thank you so much for that!

Can’t help adding:

-“Les testicules terribles”

-" You’re a man?" crotch grab on Raiden no need on Snake apparently.

-" nano-machines, son"

-" Amazing how you walk around like that"

I swear to god this global whack-a-mole trying to smack nazis.

I agree with you. But for the rest of us that can see the shit fest of destruction coming, what’s going to happen after the next 3 years?

Is it all going to be straight 'reconstruction ’ or a chance for something new to replace?

Can we recover? This is the question that fills me with dread in bed.

It’s pretty rare for a “deep” friendship to work in spite of external changes (having kids, moving for work, politics) AND internal changes (generational experience, level of maturity, dealing with personal stressors)

Instead of looking for a nostalgic ideal of friendship, I think its more realistic to just make a goal to place yourself in new social activities that can give you fun moments of human connection.

Honestly, at this point in my middle age, it mainly comes down to: Do we have anything in common? Cool. Can we have a comfortable conversation beyond small talk? Great. Are we both willing to make time to hang? Awesome. Anything “deeper” can come later and organically IF the connection lasts. I can count on my hand how many “deep” friendships remain in my life.

He was a guest speaker at our Medical college back in 2010ish.

Someone asked him about Rosalyn Franklin afterwards, and he said “…she was better to look at, than to listen to” clearly thinking it was a delightful joke.

Yep, this guy was massive prick.
