When this first got announced, I remember reading a comment on here saying something along the lines of, Qualcomm has zero interest in purchasing Intel but they do want to look at where they can hurt them the most so they really go under.

So, I know this was to get out of the ethics report. But now that he’s withdrawn, won’t it look a little fucking weird that when the new congress gets sworn in, he’s just like ‘y’all need to find a replacement, I was gonna be AG’ wink.

Annular throbber? Is he trying to one up Trump and the microphone?

I think I read something once that the ash cloid would create a nuclear winter that lasted at least two years. Sticking to those 1.5C goals!

Personally, I’ve been on team Hypercane ever since the Portland heat dome made it theoretically possible.

That’s the power of propaganda. As long as she is pro-choice in her voting, I don’t care what she thinks it’s called internally. Like the people who demonize Obamacare but support its individual policies. They usually vote against it though.

With many of the recent supreme court rulings that have ignored or outright destroyed precedent, I could easily see a situation like you described. Somewhere offscreen a ruling had been made and this is the fallout.

Every once in a while I’ll see the sentiment that this generation isn’t allowed to have a future (saw it again the other day which is why it’s fresh). Things like this show how accurate that is.

Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.

 

Saw two shooting stars pop up while watching the comet last night, one of them showed up in the exposure I was taking at the time.

Was surprised to be able to see it this far south, in canyon of the ancients so super remote.

Taken on a Canon R8 24mm wide lens, iso 1600, 15 second exposure, f5.0; no post processing.
