Wasn't that the hospital?

Uh, you ever see the movie Misery?

Actually, no.

Then this'll all be new to you.

If you look at the actual report https://statesuniteddemocracy.org/resources/electiondeniers/ it's a little more nuanced - in Alaska, for example, the governor is a known election denier, but there isn't an election denier secretary of state or elections commissions chair or whatever, it's just him. Likewise in Montana - the governor's an election denier (and a gigantic asshole) but as far as we know the AG and SOS are not.

We need to get a bunch of people he hates - AOC, Zelensky, the NHTSA - to talk about how this is a terrible idea and would make them very sad.

I don't work for anybody, and I don't know what list of talking points you think I'm repeating other than the specific assertion that Germany shouldn't have shut down its nuclear plants.

I could just as well accuse you of astroturfing for the coal power lobby.

But since you're accusing me of being a shill anyway: yes, nuclear power is clean and safe and our refusal to embrace it has cost us decades of progress in reducing carbon emissions + is continuing to do so now. The anti-nuclear lobby has a tremendous amount of blood on its hands and I'm not the least bit ashamed to be on the opposing side to them.

So we're currently at the 'apology that actually makes things worse' phase, which means just a few more days until 'unconditional surrender but even so nobody will ever trust you again'

Sure, but nevertheless they're burning a lot more coal than they would be if they hadn't pointlessly shut down their nuclear plants.

"We were able to grow enough soybeans to replace half of the whale meat we were eating, but we can't replace the other half yet because even though we have plenty of lentils, we hate lentils and don't want to eat them anymore"

Nuclear output 12.2021: 5599.8 GWh
Brown coal output 8.2023: 5422.0 GWh
Black coal output 8.2023: 2049.2 GWh

So if you, y'know, hadn't shut down those nuclear plants, you'd be burning 1/4 as much coal as you actually are.

Germany of course is the country that recently shut down a bunch of nuclear plants + temporarily (we hope) replaced them with coal.

I think at this point we can pretty much assume that anybody who makes public speeches about sexual perversion is, themself, a pervert.

Cool, I wonder how many points my contributions to the /r/place guillotine cost me.

Does he think, like, anybody at all actually gives a fuck?

Sure, but my point is that this is more like a 10% discount than a 20% one. (For me at least if they knocked 20% off the low end model I’d probably jump on it, but 10% feels like the sort of thing that happens every month)

10% on the 64GB one, though; 15 and 20% on the higher-capacity versions, but thanks to the recent drop in SSD prices those are more expensive than they should be even with the discount.

You can want PEPFAR to survive and yet feel like W weighing in here is nakedly self-serving - it's going to change the minds of exactly zero Republicans while improving his reputation with everyone else.

Personally, I want PEPFAR renewed, and when W dies I want him to be remembered as a war criminal and his death treated with all appropriate disrespect and malice; these comments do nothing for the former and slightly reduce the chances of the latter.

It would be super fun if Hunter's expensive lawyers raise some argument about the constitutionality of gun crimes that eventually makes it to the Supreme Court - put Thomas and Alito in the position of either pissing off gun nuts or pissing off MAGA idiots (and the center of that Venn diagram is quite large).

I sleep much better at night knowing that this is also true for Wikipedia
