I admit my wife does most of our shopping, and we are fortunate enough that we don't stress too much over most price fluctuations. Which is to say that when even I am aware that "wow beef is *expensive* lately", beef is expensive, not down.
Huh, I had not been tracking this. Linked article shows GOP support for several social issues such as gay marriage or women working outside the home also peaked in 2022 then sharply declined, also led by young Republicans, much smaller change for X/Boomers.
Why 2022?
"Hey IRGC, did you know Khomeini's death is closer to Mossadegh's overthrow than to today? Pretty old, huh?"
Paul, you know they can program the Patriots to *not* intercept missiles headed for certain coordinates, right?
I'm so tired of this "false sense of victimization" these weak men feel.
"Oh no, women don't worship. Women don't want me. Women are too independent. Women should be sex toys. Women shouldn't have rights."
Like fuck that. Only weak men are screaming victimization.
These guys, apparently in seriousness, say they'll be able to launch to orbit by firing out of a giant centrifuge / hypersonic carnival ride

As a career civil servant and a man treats women as professional peers, this is infuriating. Good riddance.
Right, just like they replaced the cables in the San Francisco trolleys with blockchains!
I hate this planet
Look everyone knows space _elevator_ is not workable, but, now listen closely, what this country needs to maintain dominance is.... a SPACE MONORAIL
You gonna let Shelbyville own the Moon?
Now accepting angel investors; crypto accepted
The trailer appears to be invoking Lovecraft/Cthulhu-esque (comedic) references but as the blurb is written I can see how people are experiencing some kampfencringe
Yes but nevertheless it is temporarily grounded and Space Force has shifted several payloads off of Vulcan and onto Falcon9 as a result
Let's assume every penny of foreign aid including domestic refugee/migrant support plus plausible amounts in the DOD budget are pure waste on said cabal. That's maybe 1% of GDP generously. That's immiserating American taxpayers?
She has a book coming out, exposing the globalist cabal back to 1648!
I meant that very loosely in that they do often seem to have coordinated messaging.
Konrad and DataR are both official press Pentagon corps. Cynical is on a OSD P&R task force to reform PME though I don't know if that's paid in any way.
As another data point, the OSD X brigade -- Dort, Publius, Konrad, DataR, etc -- have moved from mostly bashing PME to bashing Driscoll and George
I knew there have been local pols in the SW advocating this for many years but didn't realize it got a serious push in Congress, with official support from LBJ's Interior / BOR.
The hydrologically sensible diversion would be from the upper Snake watershed into the upper Green River watershed, using about half the Snake and causing armed rebellion in Idaho. So the bill in Congress would have diverted below Portland to California (up and down a LOT of mountains)
I recently came across reporting on the mid-1960s attempt in Congress to settle this -- by "importing" up to 8 maf / year from the Columbia river basin. The OR/WA/ID delegations held it off and after the environmental movement ~1970 kicked in it's been a non starter but for a few cranks
“Another way to look at this is that billionaires have joined a war on professional administrative class of public servants precisely because of their proximity to formal mechanisms of accountability.”
That part! Everything from documentation to compliance mechanisms to whistleblowing is a threat.
I also prefer less emphasis on electronics, more on driving characteristics, which I know makes me an odd consumer (and probably less likely to fall in love with the Chinese brands).
That said the HUD is a game changer for old eyes
>Not really. I’m a loyalist (to Japanese cars)
I've become a Mazda fan mostly due to making tradeoffs I prefer and some specific little features I like. But also they are built in Hiroshima so I figure doing my part to atone
Oof. We were fortunate in our previous adversary
«To say that the verbiage and phrasing of this ad functions as a dog whistle for White supremacy and White nationalism would be an insult to dog whistles ... it is a bullhorn—and a sign that Palantir isn’t just willing to openly signal allegiance to fascism, they aim to leverage and recruit on it.»
ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE
I.e., Eisenhower was the Republicans making peace with the New Deal, in broad outline
Clinton remarked at the time that they were playing the Eisenhower Administration to Reagan's FDR. He wasn't entirely *happy* about that, but neither totally rejecting.
Could it be worse than an LCS?
