Where is Berkeley Breathed in all of this, is what I have to know.

WHAT DID OPUS KNOW? WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?

Weird attempt at an excuse given it'd a part of another actual country

Star wars doesn't even retcon with that much desperation.

Heard on @npr.org @planetmoney.bsky.social yesterday that the tariffs cover several island nations that export NOTHING.

We're all playing 2D chess, but Lutnik is out there playing 3 dimensional Penguin Peril.

No sense of shame or embarrassment. Just double down and lie harder.

Fuck that. Write it. I’d definitely be all over that shit.

I'm wondering how many of these uninhabited islands are nature protectorates or are otherwise restricted to prevent any commercial operations on their land or within their territorial waters? Raising it as a "concern" says much more about the ethics of this administration. Lawyers already engaged.

Could have had Danny Devito read the audiobook

Translation: "We had AI create the list and none of us fact-checked it...but even if we had, no one in the administration knows enough about the world to tell what was an actual nation."

My new elevator pitch is -- It's basically Jason Bourne, but penguins.

sold, call the Robert Ludlum estate

I'd argue that means you should write it, now that it's more believable (though still unbelievable). Penguins are everywhere now so it's bound to be a best seller. Two of our signs yesterday even had penguins (and I saw others too).

Though I had a friend talking about printing 3d penguins to pass out to people as a statement and yesterday they wondered if waiting a week would be too long, if the penguins would have been swept away by the next outrage.

That’s a good point. You never know these days.
