Seymour Hersh made an oopsie-doo and published in English a phrase which is not a common idiom in English... but IS in Russian!

Also, the dig his "source" makes about Nigeria is likewise a relatively common line in Russian politics. Nigeria being the key example of political corruption. We don't really say that here in the US!

I think Hersh's "source" is some Russian propagandist. Whether the source is doing this on his own, part of a subcontracted group, or employed by the Kremlin itself does not matter. The point is Hersh is a moron and is printing this because he believes it. 

We need a Global Climate Stalin.

The amount of testimony from pilots describing craft behaving in ways that are beyond our current level of technology is the most eyebrow raising element of this whole affair. Man-made drones can’t move at supersonic speed and then stop and turn on a dime, no matter how advanced. Then you have the reports of supersonic craft moving without any kind of thermal exhaust trail. Fascinating stuff.

From someone very smart I follow:

"We too easily dismiss terrestrial explanations, ranging from sensor error to human fallibility, and I would start there 1000 times out of 1000 before looking beyond the stars for answers."

I would rather have congress had another Hillary Clinton hearing. This is the dumbest waste of public money I have ever seen. 

The environmental movement did not kill nuclear in the 70s. 

Coal did.

Instagram model Fan-Pei Koung moved to Ukraine earlier this year to volunteer as an "emotional support stripper" for the soldiers.

 

Fuck Clay Travis and his garbage website built for and by mouth breathing chuds. 

Now I am become Oppie, eater of almond.

It’s more on the fact that if your aren’t a Russian ship in the water, they’re free to kill you. They don’t care what country you’re from because you might be working with Ukraine forces. 

Right. But also.

I feel this is more likely to be an empty threat, like they're not going to sink a Turkish ship, that would be truly insane.  If the US operated in the black sea we would absolutely continue to operate as normal.

I'm not saying it's an empty threat entirely, but as of today, they haven't done shit to these ships. 

WW3 isn't starting over blowing up storage at a port. Get a grip you guys. 

The trouble with most of these fires is that they cannot be fought because there are no roads near what is burning.

Anyone else in the “Leaving Reality” category or is just me. I know I’ve seen a UFO and dealing with ghosts/spirits at my projectionist job. 

Not really in that category. But I entertain theories about JFK that challenge the official story. There just haven't been any that are better supported than the official story, for me. 

During the pandemic I went pretty deep into studying conspiracy theories. That chart is fairly well known and I have my criticisms of it. But it's generally a pretty reasonable summary of the potential harm a lot of conspiracy theories can pose. 

The only ones I don't recognize are (from top to bottom):

RFID in bras

Ancient giant trees

Avril Lavigne

Greta Thunberg time travel

Kylie Jenner is a clone

Prince Charles vampire

Stuff that doesn't matter, basically.

I don't want to go into full doomposting most, but...I said to myself a while ago, that if something in my body breaks or hurts, I'm not going to try and fix it.  Hell, I cancelled a doctor appointment, even though my weight and blood pressure is much higher than normal.  But...part of me doesn't care anymore.

I'm not that great at words of affirmation. But that's a silly way of thinking. Your life like isn't a car you're driving into the ground. This is you, man! Reschedule and see if you can make some minor changes. 

Save the defeatism for national politics  

If we're gearing up for WW3, I'd be looking for a mobilization of more than 3,000 people.

I use FreeTaxUSA. It's enough for my simple tax return, has similar automation to TurboTax and is, as the name suggests, free. 

It should be what everyone uses if you do your own taxes. 

Not a fan of the movement of Godzilla. Too cgi for my tastes. But I'm always happy with Japanese Godzillas, so I'll catch it. 

I'm sold. This is Rebels Season 5. I'm fucking in. Give it to me now. Hype train rolling.

So it turns out that this commander went for daily runs on the same routes and posted them all online...

And the Ukrainian intel chief "liked" the runs on Strava!  

It is in this moment that we all need to be reminded of the best restaurant review ever printed. 

Guy Fieri's American Kitchen and Bar really, really sucked donkey sauce. 

Restaurant Review: Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar in Times Square - The New York Times

What the food and service at Guy Fieri’s Times Square establishment conjure is pure bafflement, among other things.

How is it that "BRICS" is still a thing? Shouldn't it just be IC now since India and China are the only two countries that have significant amounts of global economic power?

I hear ya man. During covid both my water heater and my dishwasher broke within a month of each other. After that a storm flooded my basement and I had to have mold mitigation and drywall work done across a whole wall. Then I had to get a leaky faucet replaced too. 

Yours sounds a lot deeper of a hole!

Zelenskyy is in Turkey on his Eurotour. Erdogan just stated in a press conference that "Ukraine deserves to be in NATO."

He's got a point. 

 

This is literally the same talking point Alex Jones used yesterday to attack Biden. He DOESN'T have a point. 

The cluster bomb thing is tough. 

On the one hand, the Ukrainians know what they need to achieve and they want weapons to help that. 

On the other is the fact that this will exacerbate issues with demining in a future where Ukrainian territory is retaken. 

In response to the first, they know that they need area-wide weapons to deal with entrenched Russian defenses. Their artillery cannot saturate enough as it is to achieve their aims. So they want wider area effects out of their weapons. Unfortunately, I don't know that this is the silver bullet they want it to be.

Okay, apparently Threads has basically a permanent version of the "For You" tab. You can't make it show you only stuff from people you follow. Haaaaard pass.

Fuck that. 

Also, you couldn't pay me to tweet what I tweet to my IRL friends on instagram.
