A truly fitting epitaph

Remember that China is having a bit of an economic crisis at the moment

Honestly though I hope he just strokes out from the high blood pressure

Yeah same tbh. But also I don’t expect this shit to really wrap up one way or another in anything less than a week, and then who knows what Johnson will try to pull at the electoral vote count in December…

South Korea (NK); NATO (he’s pull us out of it); the baltic states (Russia will likely try to invade, after the previous one) Finland (same); Mexico (Trump will probably try to invade at some point)

Eh. I’m honestly pretty convinced at this point that the ultimate intent was never really to make money with Twitter.

Sure, he would have liked to recoup his costs. But at the end of the day, eel on musk paid 40something billion dollars to buy one of the most prolific social media companies in the history of social media. It’s just a big megaphone with speakers in everyone’s smartphones. It’s a propaganda device. He is openly using it to try to swing public opinion towards Trump (amongst various other things), and has been since about 6 months after he bought it and “cleaned house”. He’s using it to try to directly affect the result of the election. That’s it. That’s his plan. And he thinks he’ll become cemented into Trump’s inner circle if he pulls it off.

I’ll just leave this here

And it also must be mentioned that the case was dropped due to some very definitely extralegal threats and strong-arming of the victim and her family.

Just 40? I feel like there’s got to be an order of magnitude more than that from over the years.

Oh yeah, Hell March is fantastic - though I was referring to this one in particular, since the SPACE clip was (iirc) from that one

For real, the instant the courts are intimidated by the wealth of an individual, we know that that’s a level of wealth that should be made effectively unattainable.

But nah, that’s unprofitable. So we must be satisfied with modern day feudalism.

 

Edit: lol yeah, I deserve this, I teed it up rather magnificently.

👀Russian D-30 howitzer with anti-drone screen and dynamic tank protection. Dynamic protection, in essence, is blocks of plastic that explode towards the cumulative stream of anti-tank ammunition and deflect it to the side. Placing this protection on anything other than the powerful armor of a tank is fraught with even greater damage to the “protected” object. Published by Balu.

As the gifts went on, they began to suspect us of something 🤔

Personal commentary: reading the summary (I did not watch the interview live), I’m not really seeing anything that assuages my concerns about his mental acuity. More importantly, I’m not seeing anything that indicates he’s being anything even close to as pragmatic as Macron is being with the election they’re doing now in France, with regards to just trying to make sure the fascists do not fucking win. I must admit I’m feeling quite pessimistic about things.

 

Surprisingly based from ND, to be completely honest

 

Also available with a roasted crab, which is what they’re famous for, but this version is still delicious, because those noodles are straight crack
