Maybe he was afraid that if he kept lurking they’d eventually charge him with espionage.

He’ll just threaten to invade Sweden unless they give him the peace prize.

Start a website like geoguesser, where you post everything you remember and have people compete to find and save the victim.

Some animals are more equal than others!

Ok—to the extent that SVG is HTML, the variant of HTML that it is is a flavor of XML.

The second law of thermodynamics.

A poem by the 19th-century radical essayist Leigh Hunt, referencing an 8th-century Bactrian Sufi mystic.

Also, be sure to fully specify the location—one time I just put “Athens” and ended up in Athens, Georgia.

Yeah, but you’d think that doing something like this would impact their ability to get future clients.

At one point Monday, the firm’s prior private security firm — whose contract was ended after it coordinated with DOGE — also appeared at the building, at one point “proceed[ing] to walk toward the Institute’s gun safe,” pushing USIP staff to ignite its lockdown policy.

Are all private security firms that corruptible?
