You’re not going to believe this, but Tom Cruise… has identified you as an agent of Xenu.

There can be enough work. We can build parks, fund art, literature, music. If the needs of society are met with less labour, the free hours can be put to creative work.

But that requires a government for the people.

Like that, but instead of buying a tomato it’s shaping minds.

This is the flaw in the hybrid socialist-capitalist system. Billionaires will sell out national interests.

We’ll see if the government is able to rein in Hutchison.

People are lazy. But I bet more people cut their own fruit now that food is expensive.

How about a dress made of meat?

Jeffrey Goldberg is editor of The Atlantic, a former Israeli prison guard, and very tight with the US security state. He has a history of writing DoD press releases as news.

88 is a lucky number in Vietnam. You’ll see Vietnamese restaurants use 88 in their name sometimes.

Different cultures, different meanings. Not that Nazis are a culture. They are distinctly uncultured.

Dissociating - so she’s dissolving into ions in the bath.

So do you think the wedding dress shop is laundering money for a drug cartel?

Also, is rethinkDNS an alternative DNS which protects privacy?

“Battle for Pokrovsk: The Ukraine that city could be the most important of the war” Do they check their titles for grammar?

10 seconds to explosion. Time enough to watch the pressure wave and sip the Folgers.

There’s a strong Italian influence in the character names, which are often quirky, pun filled, and dirty. I feel like the movie could be a Renaissance Italy sex comedy a la 70s horror films, but with a comedic twist. Like Suspiria or Vampyros Lesbos, but comedic.

Rules based international order, indeed!

China states that it is to cut off supply for military applications. More likely it was a tit-for-tat response to the CHIPS act. Cut China off from the most advanced chips, they cut the US off from the raw materials to make chips.

If it is actually about military applications that’s more worrisome. US generals have predicted war with China in the near future as a foregone conclusion.

Trade war is one thing. Military conflict between the two global superpowers would be disastrous.

Putin is openly anti-communist.

What about the fact that many large VPNs are owned by (the same) ad companies / data mining companies? Despite the technical discussion, aren’t we ultimately placing our trust in the hands of the untrustworthy?
