Go back in time and do something to prevent Vasily Aleksandrovich Arkhipov from becoming the Executive Officer on the B-59 Soviet nuclear sub in October 1962. He's the guy who talked the Captain and the Political Officer out of launching the nukes when they thought they were being attacked by the US Navy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. His persuasiveness is generally considered to have avoided WWIII from starting then.

Good article. Thanks for sharing it OP.

The LDS Church is a sex cult that got out of control. And a sex cult that specifically focused on exploiting and abusing girls no less. So this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Canada stepping up now that their neighbor to the south is disappearing up its own ass of isolationist fascism. Good for them. But man I wish we (the US) weren't letting so many allies (and potential allies) down.

Good luck to him.

Oh there's plenty of blame to go around. Give a huge dollop to both of them.

Additionally, there's are some pretty nice free plugins for Java Minecraft server (e.g. Deluge) that allow Bedrock users to play on it too - from a PC, Xbox, PlayStation, phone, or whatever.

Newsom has always been a shallow chameleon populist who's main goal was to accumulate more power and influence.

Now that he's achieved his aim of two terms as governor of California, he's set his sights on the next level up: the Presidency. But he knows to stand even a chance of becoming the Dem nominee that he needs to move to the right quite a lot so he can be even considered by the more conservative rural Midwest. Turning against trans rights is low hanging fruit when it comes to that.

The stupid thing is that regardless, most independents and even moderate conservatives will never accept him. His legacy as the firebrand liberal from San Francisco is forever on him.

But still he's trying, because he's self-centered and callous. And in the process of failing in this new goal he's revealed to anyone not already aware that he's a fraud. And he's hurting lots of incident people in the process.

I'm surprised his email account username is that banal. I'd have thought it would be something fucking stupid like "sigmaleetbro420".

Good on you France!

I hope those who are able to tell them to fuck off.

Oh no, that's giving me Game of Thrones / ASOIAF / George RR Martin / King Bran vibes!

Sad Mudryk noises intensify

Swasticars for a fascist government. Makes sense.

Cybertrucks are ugly, poorly-built, and poorly-designed vehicles. These protesters are doing any potential owners who get deterred from wasting their money on them a favor.

Yes. Please arrest her and lock her away.

I doubt that will make much of a difference what with both houses being controlled by the GOP.

Good. He's not a scientist. He's a fraudster.

I agree with this. Unfortunately it was mostly because she's a woman. But it's also because she hits towards the end of the window of each beat. To a lot of people that makes it sound like she's late or that her timing is wrong. But technically that's not accurate. It's the same problem Ringo Starr had. He got a lot of shit for the same thing, but he was also a good drummer.

ETA: I freakin' love the stuff he made with the Raconteurs. Their first album was a bit hit or miss, but the next two have been great IMO. But definitely a different sound from the White Stripes.

A painful read, but a good article.
