For stocking up really do I prefer those vacuum sealed bricks, I think Folgers comes in that as well as Bustelo. I think you can also get vacuum sealed green beans as well, and those would keep for even longer.

This position might have made sense ten years ago, but this guy didn't read the room.

If this is true, it's honestly the most impressive and profitable bit of espionage ever orchestrated. What a payoff. It's extremely bad, but it's impressive.

This is (at least) the second ex-KGB agent to claim Trump was recruited. Yuri Shvetz said the same thing back in 2021. www.snopes.com/fact-check/k...

Something along these lines? But gold-plated. OOH. A new Oval Office desk, decked completely in gold leaf. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thi...

My brother-in-law does something like this. We get a lot of "gifts" that are really just incomplete projects. Generous, but then I realize he doesn't want to go to the trouble of selling the thing or properly disposing of it.

Howdy neighbor 🀠 just south of you.

Evolution is not a ladder, but your point stands. Bad things a brewin'.

It's part of the plan. It's RAGE (Retire All Government Employees), the Curtis Yarvin political idea, put into action. Musk calls it efficiency, but this is nothing like how you would do things if you were concerned with efficiency.

These are horrible, but I do want to know how they work. Are they like a tracer round, ignited when fired? So maybe a cavity behind the bullet, solid fuel combined with something to make tear gas when burned, like how tear gas grenades work. I'm sure the bullet isn't literally filled with gas.

Is New York Post going to get kicked out of the press room too?

False: Camacho cared about his constituents. He was a leader and a man of the people. He was among the best that future had to offer. Not his fault that society had declined. He was trying to fix things.

Same energy as that John Mulaney interview with Seth Meyers that he did like right before he went into rehab

So many people in Trump's orbit are Yarvin apostles.

And here is the exact part he says it. April is so soon. I don't know if this is the actual plan, but there is a "Playbook" provided by Project 2025. It is unpublished, but Trump has it. The Playbook outlines the first 180 days. If their plan is to follow Yarvin, that's where it'd be written down.

Ah, thank you very much πŸ™
comment in response to post
Yarvin has written too much stuff, is there a place that I can go to see this plan without going directly to his site?
comment in response to post
This gave me a panic attack but still very eye opening thank you

Ahh, that's a pretty big dish. I don't have one that big. And Mom says I can't drain the pool to make a radio telescope, so I will probably just let this idea go.

Starting to think so. On top of that, there is going to be a 15% cap on indirect costs for grants, which is literally taking the foundation out from under all universities. They require that money to run all the day-to-day that isn't supported directly by other funding sources.

The change occurred sometime between January 24 and February 1. There are no archives between these dates so that's the best I can figure.

Is there any way to receive data from the Voyager modules oneself? Sort of like if you have the appropriate antenna and receiver you can listen to the ISS or other satellites directly.

@consularaffairs.bsky.social Have you heard about this? I'm not sure when it was changed.
comment in response to post
I pulled the archived page from before Jan. 20 to compare, although it may have been changed quite recently. Someone with more patience for the Wayback Machine could easily narrow down a date range for when it was changed. I wonder if it overlaps with a visit from DOGE.

I'm still getting my shit together. How much should I prioritize this or do I have until April?
comment in response to post
Until you hear me say otherwise, file your taxes.

This is madness. All my fellow entomologists are scared and trying to carry on. Thank you for sharing this. Please do not preemptively comply and please continue to stand up for your beliefs. Celebrate Diversity! πŸžπŸ¦‹πŸπŸͺ²πŸͺ°πŸ‘Ύ

I'm always nervous that I'll accidentally pick laces that mean something bad or something I am not trying to signal to people so I just match them to the color of my boots.

Monkeys and bananas, too.

Some bullet holes, five windows, and a single car lit on fire, and you're trying to turn it into the Reichstag. What do you want to bet it's a right winger trying to frame the Dems?

I almost think I know where this was taken
