They are trying to manage their way out of this. The other approach is to innovate out of this, like, say, cloning at scale. Well, they can also let in a lot of immigrants.

There are 16 Pearl harbor survivors alive. https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/07/us/pearl-harbor-anniversary-survivors/index.html I thought there was a nip in the air today.

If you only want to read the lipstick bit, here it is: Nurses used their lipsticks to mark the foreheads of the wounded as to whether they had received morphine or a tetanus shot. Which is about what I expected before clicking into the article.

He sure does.

Gee, who would have guessed?

If ever there was a role begging to be played by Aubrey Plaza, this is it. I'm not sure who'd play Jon.
