Stumpy

I suspect 88mph is out of reach tho

Amazing tech. The idea of turning my house into a capacitor is pretty scary though!

I'm trying to place it without googling - I'm thinking something mel brooks - Blazing saddles?

How do we think this aged mr Duck? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66285161 Ben Shapiro must be throwing all his toys out of the pram about now.

Yup - when tesla was the only game in town it was a different thing and the stock rose on its own merits. Now with loads of really good options on the market from automakers that actually know how to build a robust car, tesla is looking less and less appealing - anyone pinning their dreams on the cybertruck is smoking something IMO. Tesla was never an option for me because they don't do a proper wagon and I can't imagine living without the load space (and a pickup is not an option because they are dumb for most people!)

Theoretically - I'd love to know how this would happen. I think the fantasies of seeing him in Gen pop in an orange suit are sadly unrealistic - I'm guessing some form of house arrest on an island - like Napoleon? (Lots of parallels there!) I don't see it ever happening somehow but I'd love to be wrong.

That's sad for anyone. Not good.

When people put out lists like this - I always wish they would add something utterly trashy in - the latest Dan Brown (or whoever), something less cerebral and deep. I haven't checked out every book on this list but they mostly seem pretty serious.

He's happily selling his thneeds.

Nothing says innocence like trying to hamstring your investigator.

My son had some idiot teacher show them a video about the easter myth with fairly graphic representations of crucifixion etc at the age of about 5 (non-religious school). He had nightmares for weeks. Some choice words were had with said teacher - She was christian herself but hadn't actually watched the video prior.

Creationists are up there with genuine flat earthers as a special kind of stupid. (I distinguish "Genuine" flat earthers here - I'm pretty sure most flat earthers MUST be taking the piss for shits and giggles)

I suspect there is a high correlation between heavily religious types and Q followers. The mentality that needs to be led.

That should do the job just nicely

You forget, baseless innuendo and lying about everything are pretty much all they have.

What specifically?

He uses the words "Woke left media". Instantly identifies him as someone lacking critical thinking skills.

Nah - from an external perspective (and having spent plenty of time in both states) california is weird, and quite a lot neurotic. Florida is full on, card carrying, screaming at the moon crazy.

As currently a native of scotland I'm now extra snobby about Whisky. Crown Royal doesn't really qualify.

Oh wow. It takes some serious head in the sand thinking to genuinely believe this. Read the john scalzi link that billvon posted. I don't hold much hope of anything penetrating but you never know. That's not the most wrong thing I have read on the internet today, but it's up there.

The right wing talking point is that Sotomayor is just as bad because she took money from Penguin. They clearly aren't bright enough to understand the difference between a legitimate business relationship that was oficially declared, and whatever it is that Harlan Crow is doing to Thomas.

In which case, you CAN protect people in schools, just about every country in the civilised world has managed it, there are just far too many people with money invested in not wanting to do so, mainly on the right hand side of the isle, but the left is not blameless either.

Oh dear, you really are struggling aren't you. Vietnam is probably not a bad analogy, in that the larger more powerful invading aggressor got schooled by the underdog.

I'm guessing thats a rhetorical question
