I'm OK with a site containing ads. What grilled me a bit about the ads on surly were the constant pop out video ads and particularly the ones that took up the entirety of the screen warning me about a computer virus, requiring me to back out of the page to get back to the content. I've never seen ads like that on any other site I've ever been on.
Surly would be an ideal place for Longhorn-connected companies or those selling Longhorn gear could advertise without abusing the eyes too much. It may be less money than the previous ad mix brought in. But it would be something going to a good cause and more relevant to our interests.

You'll need the sound on for full effect.

If you’re winning, i don’t see how it can be a good thing to have unplanned changes in leadership. Hopefully the new guy doesn’t rock the boat too much.
The new guy being a Crimean Tartar certainly sends a message about Ukraine's intentions toward the recapture of that peninsula. Hopefully his effectiveness matches the positive optics.

Some context on the oil tanker, what it was up to and where it was hit.

That Orban guy sounds like he sucks. We really need a mechanism in place to kick countries out of NATO. Europeans should consider the same for the EU. Hell, Turkey is presenting itself as less of an obstacle to European unity than Victor is right now.

What does one do when a group points out that you don't crack down on online hate speech? Well, you sue that group of course! Free speech absolutism at its finest.

Access to the building denied to inspectors two days in a row? Seems there is no permit (duh!). Claims the installation is temporary for an "event". Elmo remains a master businessman.

Sure reparations won't be part of national 2024 platform but I also wouldn't dismiss it as "fringe". I fully admit that I don't know the ramifications / likelihood of passing but in California there was a state task board that has met and presented recommendations to the state senate including economic reparations. Those weren't defined, as the task force specifically said they weren't able to come up with a number and recommended economists come up with something, but I do think there is something brewing.
Now the word reparations can mean way different things to way different people, but again just wouldn't dismiss it as kooky talk.
Well, some numbers have been tossed around. For California alone this amounts to up to $800 billion (2-3 times the entire CA yearly budget) and somewhere between $1.2 million and $5 million per eligible person in the state. I'm not aware of a single reputable official who has backed this actually being enacted. The optics of coming out actively against it wouldn't play well I assume. I think most politicians are just expecting (and hoping) it will run out of steam.

Reagan gets credit for the economic recovery that followed Paul Volcker's steps to curb inflation. Who nominated Volcker as chairman of the Fed? Jimmy Carter. Life isn't fair and politics even less so.
