I’m not too worried about additional tariffs passing through congress, though. That would have been the safer approach to try from the beginning if Trump’s people thought they could make it work. They opted for this workaround loophole nonsense specifically to go around congress because they had already ruled out the possibility of congressional approval.

I just don’t think Trump could ever manage to get enough support from congress. Certainly not with how unpopular the tariffs currently are, and certainly not right before the midterms.

Thomas, Alito, and Kavanagh were the dissenters.

It does still fit the same meter, at least.

Can even turn Venus into an easier direct sell. It’s a lot bigger than Mars (more land = more money), actually has an atmosphere, is named after a Roman sex goddess, and is 100% free of communism (the USSR’s probes were destroyed).

Sure, the scientists warn that the greenhouse effect causes Venus’s temperature to exceed 400°C on the surface, but they already know those scientists are full of shit because the greenhouse effect is fake news.

I dunno, let me ask ChatGPT.

Yeah, it’s a texture thing for me, too.

Some people like a good contrast of textures in food. I prefer consistency. So I hate anything in a burger that has any amount of cold or crunch. Mushrooms I can do, but tomatoes make it worse for me.

Especially when you fail to bite all the way through the tomato and end up pulling the whole thing out along with half the other burger toppings.

Had me curious so I looked it up. Most recent I could find is that she released a book in 2020, and she appears to be semi-active on Instagram, with her most recent post being a few weeks ago, and apparently making an appearance at a premiere for a movie from The Oatmeal as of 5 days ago.

It’s a standing mirror stylized as a guillotine.

It’s always been about keeping guns out of the hands of the undesirables. That’s the only consistent logic we see over the years.

American conservatives endorse stricter gun control every time there are concerns about minorities and/or the left arming themselves.

Meanwhile, they want no regulations to inconvenience the mythical good guy with a gun. As long as that “good guy” is a conservative white Christian.

Those votes would just get thrown out in that case, so if that’s what they want to do, they are welcome to do so.

Trump can be long dead and buried, yet I feel like he’s still going to be running in every US election for the next few decades. The majority of his supporters have only doubled down on his brand of politics, so there will always be another Trump.

I mean there’s a merit to translating names that still keep the original meaning, as with Mexico City/Ciudad de Mexico.

The better question is why is it not called Tenochtitlan.

That’s normally what the charge of “manslaughter” is supposed to be used for in the courts. Murder would be with intent, manslaughter is any other act with deadly consequence.

Why that didn’t happen in this case is beyond me.

Sardines do have the same high salt problem. Healthy in moderation but watch your blood pressure.

Sam Vimes boots theory

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socio-economic unfairness.
