I remember reading the story of a young girl who survived a plane crash by falling through the Amazon forest canopy. She had a bunch of injuries and blow flies laid their eggs in them, so she was constantly digging maggots out of her wounds with twigs. She eventually grabbed a log and floated down rivers until it reached a big enough river, where she found a thatched hut. A fisherman who only visited there once every four or five months happened to go there while she was passed out on the ground, so he got her to medical care and saved her. Is horrible as that story was (Her other family members died), hearing about the blow flies and maggots attacking all of her various soft tissue injuries for weeks was perhaps the most horrific thing that stayed with me
on a related note, it is only very recently that Ukraine has been given real-time access to satellite imagery, showing the location of Russian troops and ongoing assaults. It is this real time information that is the difference between knowing where Russians were 12 hours ago and knowing where they were one minute ago that is allowed them to wreck shop and destroy Russians before they got going. I am positive that this additional intelligence has been crucial to helping them shape the battlefield and create choke points and logistics problems in a way that is far more precise and disruptive to Russian objectives.
Are you saying that it’s not appropriate to celebrate a racist piece of shit leaving this mortal coil? These people are the scum of the Earth. I do not condone people going out and hunting them, but I would not be - unhappy - to learn of their deaths. See the expensive bottles of champagne in my wine cooler waiting for the death of the orange shithead. There are lots of Mussolinis in the country today that deserve a few lamp posts. Maybe you could help me out and post a few good reasons why people should mourn the loss of Charlie Kirk. Because most decent people loathe people like Charlie Kirk. Kirk was a fake Christian and a false patriot to his country by any reasonable interpretation. And while we all agree that violence outside of the law is not the way we want our society to handle politics, when politicians support reprehensible policies, it is not unreasonable to find some happiness in the fact that they are no longer polluting the brains of young people with their hatred and racism and misogyny and homophobia. That you think well of Charlie Kirk says a lot of things about you, but none of them positive. You talk about the “approved viewpoint.” You miss the fact that sharing Charlie Kirk’s viewpoints makes one a piece of shit. I’m glad to have helped.
I rocked a Motorola Goldline bag phone in the early 1990s. I could be sitting next to Mooseoutfront’s cabin in Alaska and likely get a signal. I think that thing had 3 watts. I’m waiting for the brain cancer.
Anyone know if Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina has turned up? She missed the recent St. Petersburg economic forum although she was supposed to speak. If the Russian economy is about to turn into a truly heaping pile of crap soon, then maybe, coincidentally, Elvira was involved in a deadly knitting needle or window cleaning accident ? Any of you info gatherers heard anything about her?
Took a quick glance at my account and every single stock I own was in the red. What just happened? I started the morning with everything in the Green at opening Bell
I was speaking with someone at Goldman Sachs today, and she told me that 34 million people are late on their mortgage payments. What I gather from that data is that stonks are to the moon!!!
After everyone ran out of challenges, I got sucked up in the jet wash and wound up being the last juror in a criminal case where an old crack whore beat up several elderly men and stole their stuff. She argued that they were prostitution dates gone wrong. I was unfortunately elected jury foreperson - so I got to hear my name repeated when we convicted her of each of the five felonies. Coincidentally, that was the only time that I’ve heard “I wouldn’t fuck her with your dick” stated in a legal setting.
