    @horace Coherent yes, but still an only a third party investigation unconvincingly presented as objective and factual. Of course the deceased and her partner were engaged in mischief and obstruction. Both could be dealt with later and elsewhere. Beyond that, I remain doubtful. Especially since partisan politicians of all stripes and colours along with their appointed minions within hours of the incident weighed in as self appointed judges and jury on what happened. Hopefully, the ensuing investigation and inquiry will reveal the truth. But that will occur if the “partisans” can keep their mouths shut and minds open.

    @Horace said in Ein Volk, Ein Reich: It's my understanding that X is a right-wing cesspool, but look at the responses. The messaging is fringe by simple observation. Listened to James Lindsey and Michael Malice chat today on Malice's podcast. Their takes was the same as mine, that this sort of messaging is electoral suicide, and there doesn't exist so much as a vague plan to take this sort of messaging to the mainstream electorate. In theory, it appeals to a small portion of Gen Z, and that's about it. Not that they discussed this particular tweet, but messaging like it, from people like Fuentes. I'd be happy to see if it I wanted more Mamdani. I'm having a hard time trying to understand how stupid somebody must have to be to post this stuff.

    Yep. And it's also amazing the number of wrong answers it comes up with.

    You offered the current equivalent of 1.7 billion to Denmark after the WW2. Guarantee the Greenlanders money when they have voted to join the States. The individual people. Not Denmark. The minerals thought to be there are worth trillions, and include REE.

    @jon-nyc said in What are you reading now?: I only just yesterday finished Chernow’s Mark Twain. While I liked the book and was never really tempted to put it down, it was definitely an endurance test. 1200 pages. I listened and the narration was 44 hours. I think they would do well to create an abridged version. Still a fascinating man and a fascinating life. I read/lillstened to that book as well - great listen - but you're right, lonnng.

    Topping is the real deal. They are about the best deal out there. I have their D90SE/D90A combo and their new D900A headphone amplifier. It's a great way to listen to music - gorgeous sound. You have to spend a lot more money on a main system to rival the quality of sound you get through a decent set of headphones and decent headphone amp/DAC.

    said in The Venezuelan Oil Thread: Darren Woods, who leads the largest U.S. oil company, Exxon Mobil, was especially blunt during a televised portion of the meeting. “We’ve had our assets seized there twice, and so you can imagine to re-enter a third time would require some pretty significant changes,” he said. “Today it’s uninvestable.” https://x.com/osint613/status/2010716004947485070?s=46

    These videos will become so much more valuable to high school kids in the near future. Similar to @mik 's post about missing decency with GHWB.

    There was a guy who was famous for "walking" the entire earth. I believe he said Kazahkstan was the most beautiful place he had seen. I could see that, mountains and cold lakes are hard to beat.
