Look at the dates. Inauguration was January 20, 2009. He was a victim, I tell you, a victim. Seriously though, while unis do seem to make an effort with retention, etc some students just don't graduate and for many reasons.

Nick Dyer:

I guess Twitter is having more issues and some long time account holders are being greeted with a Welcome to Twitter page. Of course, they then take that and run with it:

Ted is such a lying liar. Newsmax term with Direct ended and Newsmax wanted to change the contract and Direct declined. Not censorship. Newsmax is free to seek an alternative arrangement or stream (which I think they do already).

Update. Saw Empire of Light. Agree with those of you regarding pace but overall liked it and the cast. Which brings me to the other movie I happened to watch recently, also with Olivia Colman and a solid cast; *The Father. Wow. That was pretty heavy but quite good. *I'm not sure how I missed it especially with the awards it garnered but what with Covid dominating our lives for the last few years, our attention has been elsewhere.

I would like to state for the record that my impression of Elon was one of being cuckolded by David Lindhagen (Crazy Stupid Love). I would like to strike that and change my latest impression to Baron Bomburst from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I should not be surprised that there are 179 pages devoted to a wealthy man child but here we are.

Georgia grad huh? S-E-C S-E-C Also, I noticed on her fentanyl tweet that she used an apostrophe in error. Must be that Trump grammar.

Even if they were hard up for dollars, Elon was chatting up Rupert at the Super Bowl and either telling Rupert he knew just how to fix all this, or he was passing along the number to get in touch with Saudi investors. I mean, I'm kidding but once we allowed news stations, even ones that are no longer fit to be titled as news, to have foreign ownership, it does open up opportunities in all sorts of ways.

That was fairly close to what I was seeing on RW forums.

The bot is being confused because you're using the University of Texas instead of The University of Oklahoma. I suspect were one to mention pathogens and OU, there would be richer source material for the chatbot to utilize relating to gain of function. Especially if you bring @Brisketexan's addition of penises into the conversation. And maybe the name Stoops.

Do you mean because it is the same style 3 times? Isn't what they wear a combo of host choice and along with a dresser consultation? I admit I don't know how that all works. The looser blouse has been trending for awhile though: (I used the less basic examples and more fashion-y ones) That's Valentino above. Here's two more: Ryan Gosling, back when he did his monologue (after La La Land came out) wore a sweater with a jacket and it was perfectly Ryan Gosling. (He's worn other stuff, but that one just fits his personality to a T). I love it when men wear the traditional button down dresswear, but I also love it when they are unafraid to try clothes that push boundaries. Both are great and if you feel great wearing it, then go for it.

If it is actually a chatbot, then it did a piss poor job of convincing us that it loves us more than even our spouses or significant others. I mean the little 'love y'all' is weak compared to the way Sydney the AI talked to that married reporter in that news story.

Here is more about Rasmussen from my post in the Elon thread. The tie to David Duke and the phrase is through the editor of Rasmussen Reports, Fran Coombs. Here is a little more about Mr. Coombs and his spouse. I'll go with her first as she writes prolifically. She has been published in The Practical Homeschool Journal, The American Conservative, VDare, etc. Here is one of her published quotes from 2001 on the American Renaissance website: She has a blog, but I haven't gone there. Now on to her husband, Fran. Fran is aligned with the academic and embedded white supremacists in various media and other organizations as well as politicians such as David Duke mentioned above. It would take quite a bit of time to go into the specifics, but even as one connects the dots with his various relationships with known supremacists, he tries to keep a lower profile than he used to. Getting tabbed to lead Rasmussen Reports is, in some ways, an achievement as it shows how much the tentacles reach in places one might not have thought. The Archibald in this quote is George Archibald, four time Pulitzer prize nominee and is referring back to the time when Coombs was still editor at the WT:

Given that elected officials have healthcare on the taxpayer dime, I'd rather get more mileage and impact instead of a repetitive motion injury. Perhaps a run-in with a toppling plate rack or a treadmill that projectile vaults runners into said plate rack or something.

I should add, that The Sunshine Project had to suspend its operations in 2008 due to a lack of funding. Their focus was on biological warfare and military biotechnology. Here is a wiki blurb about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_Project

Over 5 million global deaths were associated with antimicrobial resistant bacteria (data from 2019) and that doesn't show any signs of slowing down, so by all means, let us just let the chips and bullets fall where they may. Close, my friend, close. CDC details problems at Texas A&M biodefense lab Article from 2007. Incident of infected lab workers occurred in 2006 but the university didn't report it right away. In 2008 A&M settled with the CDC and paid $1 mil. If not for the Sunshine Project there might not have been enough applied pressure to investigate. Note the complaint that protective lab clothing was worn outside the laboratory and the ventilation complaints. This happens more than it ought.... Spoilered for length:

The party that not only endorsed a multiple personality mentally ill candidate from Georgia for Senator but refused and continues to refuse to call out a congressman who is a confirmed liar on so many levels I’ve lost count and we’re questioning whether a military veteran has enough bonafides and charisma to consider a presidential run? What a feckin’ world.

Apparently it’s just Lachlan. IIRC the other children have distanced themselves somewhat from the operations. However, Lachlan is arguably more RW than his Dad so we’ve got that going for us.

Monday and my spouse had a grenade dropped in his lap at a meeting this morning and he comes home: you want a martini cause I’m making martinis…. Two martinis in and that grenade is just a minor inconvenience and everyone we don’t like are assholes. What a nice start to the week. Us vs. the world. Cheers!

You are correct, of course. IMO, the narrative (white victimhood) is being pushed and pushed much harder, the search for something to coalesce around to have a reason is a slow drum beat right now. Ads like this seem to serve more than one master and neither are good.

It was a poll written up in Rasmussen Reports and was discussed in the Elon Musk thread because those two dipwads intersect and amplify each other in too many ways. Maybe a page or two back. It was a dog whistle poll.

Aaaand apparently this is the back of the t-shirt: Seems like S&W has chosen their side of history. Anyone surprised? Sales of $1B during the pandemic but dropped by quite a bit over the past year.....

Um, when I looked just now on their official twitter straight from their website it is up, so they own it. However, it is slightly different than what you see above: It's the plausible deniability route that fascism uses. See the troll they use with the same colors, same typography, same letters. They love doing this and their fan bois eat it up. Marketing to 'tactical athletes, to promote the image of those naked bronzed figures cavorting in the fields and meadows, dodging meth trailers and poison ivy as they brandish their weapons sweaty and hugging each other in ecstasy as they realized another lib has been owned or another school shot up. I'm not going to visit their website right now, but they have a YouTube channel with a couple of shorts of people target shooting, among other things. The company markets itself as veteran and LEO owned which doesn't exactly make one sleep better at night.

Anyone else think Scott and Elon are sitting in a bar somewhere drinking vodka cranberries and bitching about David Lindhagen? Such bro energy and not in a good way the way the good kind is. *David Lindhagen is from Crazy Stupid Love and if you haven't seen it, well you should.

I phrased that quite poorly so no surprise it was confusing. What I was attempting to say: based on your comments regarding insecurity, word and speech patterns along with his interest in Dale Carnegie coursework and hypnosis (thanks @chainsaw!) Adams has this contradiction between seeming like a person interested in self-improvement who is also inflexible in his worldview of others and their abilities/capabilities. Most folks don't want to date someone like that.
