  1. No CR, but in case anyone wondered what it would look like if Michael Moore started taking Ozempic.
  2. Unfortunately, there's a lot of smoke here. They at least want us to think they'll go through with it. Fucking psychopaths need to be eradicated. As per usual, GRUHorn is on here trying to sow the same poorly disguised dysinformatsya he's been spreading for years. GRUhorn-> Satoshi->Immaculate Vibes-> Caponata->Humble Beast->Mullet Free->Midnight Ambler We'll ban this handle soon too and send this suka khuylo on to his 8th username.
  3. Twitter is already dead. We're just watching to see how long it takes the corpse to rot at this point.
  4. This is the way. We absolutely cannot countenance nuclear terrorism. The only acceptable response is destroying every Russian military asset in Ukraine and any from Russia that try to lock onto our planes. Then hit everything 4-5 more times for good measure. Also escalate sanctions and consider anyone buying ANYTHING from Russia from that point forward as an adversary. Want to trade with a nuclear terrorist? You no longer trade with the West.
  5. One of the defining traits of modern "conservatives" is the ability to hold 2 or more completely contradictory ideas at the same time and believe they are all valid, so long as they all agree with their preconceived notions.
  6. Man, when you are getting dunked on by the fucking dictionary, it might be a good time to re-examine how you got here and make some changes. But we all know, Elon won't do that.
  7. Y'all remember when they were outraged by Obama's pastor? Pepperidge Farm remembers. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ron-desantis-pastor-says-gay-people-should-be-put-to-death/ar-AA1c1Qcs Ron DeSantis' pastor says gay people should be "put to death" The pastor who delivered the invocation at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) second inauguration has said that gay people should be put to death. Tom Ascol — senior pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida — made his comment on Twitter while criticizing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). On Monday, Cruz issued a tweet criticizing Uganda’s new “Anti-Homosexuality Act,” a law that punishes “aggravated homosexuality” with death. “We can string them up above a bridge so that the public can see the consequences of that kind of wickedness.” Cruz’s tweet called the law “horrific & wrong,” adding, “Any law criminalizing homosexuality or imposing the death penalty for ‘aggravated homosexuality’ is grotesque & an abomination. ALL civilized nations should join together in condemning this human rights abuse.” The pastor then cited Leviticus 20:13, the Old Testament verse that says, “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.” Ascol asked, “Was this law God gave to His old covenant people ‘horrific and wrong’?” Leviticus’ ancient Biblical laws also require the death penalty for anyone who practices fortune telling, curses their mother or father, accidentally kills someone else’s animal, or commits blasphemy. Other Old Testament laws demand death for anyone who charges interest on loans or works on Saturdays. Most contemporary Christians don’t follow these ancient Biblical laws and say that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ made them obsolete. However, conservative Christians tend to cite Leviticus 20:13 as proof that God shares their hatred of LGBTQ+ people. Two hours later, Ascol tweeted, “Amazing how many professing Christians, even self-designated ‘conservative’ ones, are embarrassed by God’s Word. Just quote some unpopular words of God & watch what happens. Many so-called Christians react the same way that unashamed unbelievers do. It’s a commentary.” DeSantis has signed numerous laws punishing teachers who mention LGBTQ+ issues, school officials who implement for trans-inclusive policies, doctors who provide gender-affirming care, transgender people who use bathrooms matching their gender identity, and businesses that allow children to see drag queens. Ascol has previously said that women who have abortions should be imprisoned for murder. He also helped author The Dallas Statement, a 2018 statement that referred to same-sex attraction as a “sinful, disordered affection” and same-sex marriage as against “God’s design.” The statement rejected both “gay Christians” and the idea of gender fluidity. It also called “intersectionality, radical feminism, and critical race theory” inconsistent with “biblical teaching.” U.S. evangelicals had a hand in creating Uganda’s law. The law has threatened the safety and well-being of LGBTQ+ Ugandans. Police and civilians have harassed any people they suspect of being gay. Some LGBTQ+ Ugandans have fled their home country, afraid for their lives. The law is supported by conservative pundits, including transphobic Matt Walsh, his colleague Michael Knowles, Heritage Foundation fellow Delano Squires, and New York Post columnist Miranda Devine. Religious conservatives have also praised Russia for its laws punishing LGBTQ+ people. In 2013, Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) President Austin Ruse said Russia’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws were a “good thing” that “most of the people in the United States” would support. In 2014, anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical leader Franklin Graham also defended the law.
  8. I'm sure those law schools are shaking in their boots. How will they ever find an attorney?
  9. They are definitely investigating the Arizona "audit". The FBI subpoenaed Cyber Ninjas and their subcontractors months ago. I'm not comfortable disclosing how I know this, but I do and the info is 100% reliable. The only thing I'm willing to say it that it's from someone that is intimately involved and that would absolutely know. I don't know what the subpoenas turned up, or what the FBI is going to do with anything that does turn up, but they are investigating.
  10. Love this. If it's true, awesome. If it's not true, it's still going to make Putin paranoid and reduce the effectiveness of his intelligence services, administration and military. Hey Vlad...
  11. If the Russians are that scared of made up bullshit about the Ukrainians, the Russians could always just fuck off and go home. Just a suggestion.
  12. Playing Playing with the boys Staying Playing with the boys
  13. Two weeks to excavate something that large is blisteringly fast. You're normally looking at months to years, depending on what type of sediment the object is preserved in, crew experience, funding and a bunch of other variables. A lot of the information in archaeology and paleontology sites is how the objects and artifacts are deposited and preserved. Mapping the site is the most critical step, because you lose a shit ton of information if you don't do it correctly and you can't ever get that data back if you fuck it up. On the video, you can see the vertical posts surrounding the boat that are used to make a grid for mapping purposes. Even in a war zone, they are mapping it properly. Major props that they care enough about their history to do this correctly, even in a war zone. Doing it properly in two weeks is a massive accomplishment.
  14. Off topic, but anyone who hasn't watched The IT Crowd should do so. It's awesome.
  15. Will second this. https://wyomingdinosaurcenter.org/ for anyone else interested. The museum is cool and they also have public dig programs where you can go dig with their interns. Fair warning, it's in Jurassic Morrison rocks and they are really fucking hard to work in, but it's fun.
  16. Who knew there were hobbits that can't grow hair on their legs and feet?
  17. Don't get your hopes up people. Rudy is two steps ahead of us. He's just going to go hide out in Chinatown, because everybody knows China doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US.
  18. Fuck Florida. If your 6 year old is a dinosaur fan, go to CA and also check out the LA County Natural History Museum. They've got 3 Tyrannosaurus rex on display, including a young juvenile, the only one in the world that I'm aware of. You can get really close to the actual skull bones for all three of them. They've also got a huge Triceratops and a bunch of other cool exhibits, many of which are interactive. The space shuttle is right next door at the California Science Center and there's also the La Brea Tar Pits off Wilshire if he's into ice age animals like dire wolves or mammoths. Feel free to PM me and I can give you the lowdown what the museums have on display.
  19. Zelensky calls for legalization of medical MJ to help Ukraine deal with the trauma. Be nice if Biden and the FDA would get their shit in gear over here.
  20. No and if we had, we'd have dropped the fucker and it would not be fixable for a long, long time. No reason to take that kind of risk without absolutely crippling the Russians. Other news. Surovkin under arrest in Moscow. Good news, because he's one of the more competent military leaders Russia had.
  21. That video emphasizes why Russians are predominately apathetic and passive. Some of them chose to follow Pringless and now they will be tortured and murdered. Pickles used Wagner and those that would follow it for his own purposes, then betrayed a lot of people that are now going to die brutal deaths. Better for the average Russian to stay out of the game of thrones, because the serfs are the ones that pay the price when the person they follow betrays them.
  22. Allegedly more Wagner anti-aircraft systems. Obviously shit is breaking fast, so there's a chance some of these aren't legit, but there've been multiple sources reporting Russian air craft losses.
  23. Footage of the active Pantsir. 18-22 second marks. Photo of a burning Russian helicopter.
  24. Reportedly, Wagner has dropped 3-4 helicopters. I saw footage earlier of at least one Pantsir in the Wagner column.
