  1. We all know how well our response to that went too. We got Bin Laden after 10 years!
  2. There is no scenario here that doesn’t end badly. Iran played this perfectly. They kill any peace deal, likely forever, between Saudi and Israel, which keeps everyone from focusing on their sorry terrorist asses. They also get the western world to agonize over Israel’s heavy handed approach, which everyone knows is going to go for a while. Finally it sucks oxygen out of Russia v Ukraine for a while because people have trouble focusing. It’s going to get a lot worse soon. This was planned carefully for many months. The Israeli and west moves are known, we’re fucking predictable as shit. China and Turkey are real wild cards here depending on how much interest they have in getting involved. Turkey has traditionally been sort of on Israel’s side unofficially. Can that continue?
  3. Oh I definitely agree there are going to be exceptions. The admittance rate at UCLA has gotten absurdly low. Like 10 percent. UT is still around one in three I think.
  4. Santa Cruz is the county seat and a lot of their free stuff gets handed out there. It is surprisingly sketchy, to the point it can feel unsafe for women and kids in some of the areas. It’s very different from all the other small towns along the central coast, none of which get that feeling. Re UC schools. If your kid isn’t getting into UT Austin they aren’t getting into UCLA or SD either.
  5. Ibrx laughs as it gurgles blood.
  6. Same except civil. Who am I kidding, I’m too dumb for thermodynamics.
  7. That’s fantastic. Especially dragging they’re nuts with Pooh bear.
  8. Not sure that it’s not obvious to anyone watching, but Russia is never settling for peace with Ukraine while Putin is alive. He can’t afford to end the war without total victory. If anyone thinks there’s an off ramp they are deluding themselves. These most recent acts by Russia internally show that without a doubt. And I’m definitely more worried about the US commitment than the Eurozone, which is a complete flip from as little as six months ago. The euros finally figured out what the Baltics and Poland had been telling them. Credit to the UK which has been on the forefront of this all along.
  9. Irreparable is moving goalposts, but sure I’ll play along. No paychecks for active duty military, no economic data reporting, additional fodder for credit agencies who worry about debt, spending, and lack of will to tackle either… But I think it’s a fun time for the let it all burn folks.
  10. Until it isn’t. But nonchalance toward dysfunction is exactly what begets black swans.
  11. Let’s hope the chamber is empty again. What could possibly go wrong?
  12. Newsome hopefully does better with this pick than with Harris’ replacement. Regardless of Feinsteins decline, and it was precipitous, she was a pretty powerful voice for California. Going from two leading senators to two lightweights would not be ideal.
  13. Yeah the sucking sound right now is getting louder. Between rates, shutdown, and price pressure it’s a perfect shitstorm coming.
  14. I’m ready for Sark to unload on Baylor now. Let’s crush them.
  15. That’s a nice thing to say to a bitch made little pussy.
  16. Shit, I am still on a XR, and really don’t have a need to upgrade, but I’m cheap and an old. What is the main reason outside of storage and picture quality?
  17. Furk I’ve turned into an old. I don’t use TikTok and have to admit I really didn’t pay attention very closely to that video. I’ll shamble off in shame now.
