  1. edit - the xitter post alleged to have been from Ashley St Clare was a fake, and the news that it was an ivf child "with enhancements" or whatever, is false/unknown.
  2. https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-mismanagement-principles
  3. of course the rest https://www.torched.la/rick-caruso-wants-la-to-build-faster-just-not-near-his-property/
  4. The plan is to destroy the national parks and then sell much of the acreage back to states or to wealthy individuals.
  5. Elle Woods prequel in the works. It'll probably suck but this is cute.
  6. edit: so it turns out Luckovich was fooled by an email and his cartoon hadn't been removed. He corrected it later.
  7. He not only admits it, he practices it. How many violent criminals, even some with criminal pasts or currently serving jail time for a different violent offense, received a presidential pardon for beating police over the head, pepper spraying them, or just generally smashing the hell out of them? I put far better than even odd that was intended to send a message to opponents and supporters, alike. But, yeah, sure we're the ones who will get our faces eaten by leopards due to our "Reign of Terror." Meanwhile, who needs a government for auto safety, drug safety, environmental protection, overall general health of the populace, functioning medical care, nuclear safety, a functioning Treasury, a strong network of int'l allies, or even safe and secure elections, when Musk and his dipshit minions can be cozying up with autocrats like Putin and Orban, selling out American soft power across the world and putting people in harm's way while doing so just to make Elon and his billionaire friends even wealthier and more powerful.
  8. Glad you caught the title screw-up. Until yesterday I didn't realize it was a prequel.
  9. this is just the very tip of the iceberg - science research, healthcare research, social security, environmental protection, the list of what he's destroying in this country is lengthy. We are under attack. This is not just a simple, evil rich person being an asshole. He -- along with co-conspirators - is trying to ruin us.
  10. This situation is nothing like either "leopards" or "Reign." You do as crappy of a job of recognizing those similarities as you do judging the value of Tesla's FSD.
  11. Just saw this and now I want to drive to Bakersfield. (no hot dog/sandwich talk, I don't think there's a hot dog thread lol)
  12. Personally -- and obviously theoretically speaking because this is not CR -- I would make an exception for evil billionaires participating in an international criminal syndicate to ensure that they can totally dominate the rest of us. 100 percent, bitch.
  13. If you liked, or wanted to like, the JK Rowling detective series C.B. Strike (Private investigator and war veteran Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott use their unique skills to investigate complex cases that the London police are unable to solve.), you'll probably like Case Histories (Former soldier and policeman Jackson Brodie becomes a private investigator in Edinburgh and solves complex cases sometimes with, sometimes in spite of, a sexy Detective Investigator, Louise Munroe). Case Histories stars Jason Isaacs, who's in the new season of White Lotus. I think it's better and more consistent than CB Strike.
  14. That's all so vomit inducing. Maybe we need a brief thread cleanser.
  15. I don't think I've ventured to CR since the fucking election but figured this might be worth it.
  16. 15 gas turbines running 24x7 and no license or gov't. enforcement measures.
  17. Every once in a while we watch Inspector Morse Endeavor on Prime. It's one of the best British detective series I've seen and it's not old (2013-2023) so the picture is quality. Bonus - the only ad on Prime is a 15 second blip at the start of the show. I wasn't sure about it after watching Ep. 1 (seemed too slow) but I'm glad to have gone past. "Fresh out of Oxford University, a young detective constable faces the harsh realities of 1960s England while solving a string of complex cases using nothing but his keen intellect and unwavering determination."

  19. Not a long essay but it is definitely insightful and puts today's situation in stark terms. https://engelsbergideas.com/notebook/defying-the-lessons-of-history/
  20. I'm putting down 10k at the online casino that -- for some unknown reason -- we'll see and hear a lot fewer racist remarks about the stupidity of this dude Caleb compared to Brittney Griner.
  21. I've been meaning to look into how fiber optic drones operate and the post above reminded me that I've been meaning to do so.
  22. Huh, maybe that Niko dude is seriously butthurt. Hashtag golakers
  23. just sent Apartheid Clyde a valentine.
  24. Things still not going smoothly for Swastikar CEO
