    Nobody Cares: PRS

    Some of them have nice suits and well-shined shoes. Other than that, pretty much everything. Every god damn thing.

    The US-Iran War Has Begun

    Speaking of the Strait ... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uss-abraham-lincoln-thailand/ The Abraham Lincoln and the rest of the carrier group arrived in Thailand. I have never seen a US Navy ship look so ill-maintained. Good lord, she looks she's cosplaying a rusted out tramp freighter. WTF??

    Musicians/Bands that use their name in a song

    KLF, also known as the Justified Ancients of MuuMuu, further known as the JAMM --- and they worked in all three! 35 years later and this still cooks.

    The Trump Presidency, Season 2

    i Look, don't blab this around, okay? I have in my possession a magnet that works underwater. As soon as the patent comes through I'll be rich. So ... play your cards right, know what I'm saying? Completely unrelated: I have a birthday coming up. :whistle:

    "Lieutenant, we're surrounded!" "We've got 'em right where we want 'em."

    Another attempt at a "The World is on Fire" thread

    The fellow they arrested for one of the Spokane fires is doing a terrible job of looking like "the wrong guy." https://currently.att.yahoo.com/att/waited-planned-perfect-time-then-090029892.html

    The US-Iran War Has Begun

    Don't you see? It's all connected! The fluoride in the water, the Denver Airport, Binface, Iran, so-called "King" Charles, Frozen, the way that one lady at WalMart looks at me .... It's all becoming so clear!

    Big Tech Is Finally Paying for the AI Disaster It Created

    And now, having sprinted far down that garden path, nobody wants to be the first to pull the plug on what is clearly a huge boondoggle. "Maybe the other guys will blink first, then we'll have The Whole Market!" See also: Sunk cost fallacy.

    Another attempt at a "The World is on Fire" thread

    Looks like at least one of the Spokane fires was arson-caused. They've arrested a suspect, though the "evidence" they have announced is some waterproof matches and a butane lighter. Dude -- it's Spokane, aka the Fresno of the North. It is about 250 miles east of Seattle, with tons of camping...

    Another attempt at a "The World is on Fire" thread

    The Spokane fires are pretty bad in terms of the number of people affected. The last report I saw was 65,000 evacuated. That's over 10% of the metro area population. No injuries so far, but about 600 structures destroyed. All in all, we've burned up about 2,000,000 acres of forest this summer...

    The US-Iran War Has Begun

    Moral, ethical, and all other considerations aside, isn't someone in a position of authority at least starting to wonder how in the hell the US can spend almost a trillion dollars a year on defense and be, basically, running out of bullets? :confusedcat:

    The Trump Presidency, Season 2

    Most plans cover at least most vaccines 100% and many pharmacies handle all the billing. I show up at Walmart, get the shot, and go merrily on my way. If they don't cover shingles, it is about $100 retail. You really would prefer not to experience shingles. If you had chickenpox, your odds of...

    Things I don't need to buy

    Ad copy says it is a "way of life." Apparently, that's not just hyperbole. Thus, no door needed. Perhaps inspired by Sartre?

    Oh no, not a black Helen! Christopher Nolan's Odyssey and the right-wing reaction

    Of course, he did. She looked just like Holly Hunter. I don't think that's a 100% inaccuracy. Unless there's some new research I don't know about*, bright, colorful clothing was a scarce commodity through much of civilization. Consider -- you have to bleach the fabric; even cotton isn't...

    Oh no, not a black Helen! Christopher Nolan's Odyssey and the right-wing reaction

    Homer --- whomever he/she or, most likely, "they" were -- was not what you'd call a stickler for historical accuracy, either. For that matter, Willy Shakespeare played pretty fast and loose with facts, too.

    Lindsay Graham Dead at 71

    That right there, that's a man reviewing his life choices, that's what that is. Suddenly, that patrol job in the PD of a tiny town in Northern California -- about as far as you can get from DC and still be in the lower 48 -- looks a whole lot better.

    The US-Iran War Has Begun

    We're talking about These Idiots. They are so impressed with themselves that they, to paraphrase a famous movie line, "don't need no stinking good options."* * Technically, that's a paraphrase of a misquoted quote, if you're a stickler for accuracy.
