For anyone who loves dinosaurs that is near Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium just opened a new exhibition of animatronic dinosaurs throughout the property and it's pretty neat.

"for once..." and for all! (please!)

Excellent -- congrats, Bob!

He just wants news orgs to know that they will have legal expenses if they don't say things he likes, yet another disincentive towards holding him accountable.

And Carlos Mendoza?

Cowen is not stupid. But I stopped listening to him a few years ago when I realized that he didn't seem to care about other people; as long as he got to eat good food and talk to interesting people, he really didn't seem to care about how "the world" was doing. So I'm going w/ disingenuousness.

How often, historically, are VPs sent to do this kind of negotiation? Wouldn't it normally be Sec State doing this?

Of the ones on that list it's RUSH, but no Pink Floyd?!

How can one tell the difference between an administration that is actively *trying* to destroy America from within and one that thinks it's M'ing AGA but is spectacularly incompetent at it?

Fills me with the urge to defecate"

Right now would be a great time for some D to propose a War Surtax, a large extra tax on high income and/or net worth individuals that pays for DoD costs above some threshold. See how long it takes before Bezos & WaPo start editorializing about need to end the war

ok but honestly it IS pretty funny that software continually works more and more like shit as we get months downstream from all the software bros high-fiving about how awesome AI coding is

My god it works perfectly
