Has anyone ever given any thought to trying to capture all the floodwaters that seem to be increasing lately, and moving them to the more drought affected areas?
For most, Their business is not to uphold the constitution, protect freedoms or inform the electorate, it’s to make profits. A free and inquisitive press is critical to these funxtions—which is why the major corps are controlled by a very few rich and powerful orgs. If you want to shape narrative you need uniform messaging.
For profit News media are just businesses like any other, don’t expect any more social or national goodwill for them than you would Lockheed Martin. For profits will operate under Saddam Hussein or mother Theresa. Money is all their structure values, and so cannot hold onto things like democracy.
It doesn’t answer your specific question and isn’t meant to be preachy, just want to say that I’m shocked more people don’t use public libraries for books they don’t want to keep forever. Check it out as often as you want, no need to keep it on a shelf, if you really love it, then buy it.
Between my birthday of 1/1/1901 and unlicensed game inheritance, shit is going to go down in the next 50 years. We’ll have AI legal reps for powerful firms requesting a statement of all software licenses by the deceased, challenging them, and then having a court order the rest null.
Let’s specify and make sure to call out “but not in the US because their rail is owned by oligopolists who have 19th century tech and great real estate and will be damned if they let anything improve an iota because our air travel between the DHS and Boeing is such a success.”

“No one will click my finance article unless I quote peak to trough as if it’s not a 🍒 picked to exaggerate a point or trend.”
Everything that is wrong with finance and news. I didn’t start reading about business until the great recession and immediately thought it weird that instead of saying X company saw Y change over a standard set of time, it’s always whatever time period serves the writers point the most and is super fucking irritating to anyone who understands journalism, statistics or isn’t anything but a clickbait charlatan.

They either break and collapse because they likely know they had to play almost perfect to beat the Celtics or, they come back and win game 2 and at that point assert massive dominance. Option 1 is where my money lies.
With the loss to the Timberwolves in game 7 last night the defending champions are knocked out of the playoffs. Let see how their offseason is shaping up....
Porter Jr is a spot up 3pt shooter and no more. He will continue to kill their team both in play style and salary cap until he slips back into role playing. He’s trying to pretend he’s a superstar and “look for his shot”, it doesn’t work when you don’t have what it takes to perform in the playoffs. Didn’t see him get one steal despite his size and being taller than most players guarding him. It’s great you can hit 45% during the season but doesn’t mean shit if your 15% in playoffs.
Gordon should be making Porter money, Porter should be making Reggie Jackson money.
Naz Reid just earned himself a lot of playing time, a contract and maybe a ring with that series. Performed repeatedly in the clutch, defense AND offense, just wildly impactful.
Predict a big year for Murray next year going into UFA, but shit, they gotta deal with Porter and that wasted cap space.
Political implications interesting. Since the poors will be the Floridians withiut options, it makes sense they’d go to GA…normally poors would be bluish voters but in FL, fuckssake who knows. Rich FL will just fly back to their homes in AZ, TX, NY, etc.
The only response to this is “channel 2 copter just captured a spectacular 15 car pile up, blood and bodies everywhere, tanker truck exploded, police noted two drivers texting looks to have been the cause.”
So awesome, my Spanish is good enough to follow most of it. Felicidades!
I think it’s pretty clear you left out the epic part this was done overnight, presumptively, because of traffic–that makes it so much cooler! Dinner in the middle. Definitely have to have your route planned, the blacktop/asphalt looked super smooth from the sound of it, no wheel, bearing sound barely at all?
I’ve got some nice big 3 wheeler blades, I’ll come for 2025/2026!
Our pacifist, agnostic campus had a southern Baptist commencement speaker desperately invoking the parallels of graduation to a higher power and lauding our nation’s military invasion of Iraq. How in the actual fuck did the admin greenlight that one. Strangest ending to 4 years ever.
