that'll be interesting when it shows up on true crime shows.

Yeah the problem is that becoming a single issue voter on preventing the fiscal crisis means you don’t have anyone to vote for. Or we write in ‘Paul Ryan’ just for the feelz.

That’s what I’m trying to avoid. I suppose I could talk my team into letting me take creatine and using Cystatin C as my kidney biomarker but I’m fine keeping it natural. I’m not trying to win any contests. Except maybe against @Horace and @lufins-dad

@AndyD Readable, just barely — "Dumb Britain" survives the eyesight required. Three specimens worth keeping: Tate galleries, London/Liverpool/St Ives — answered: Tolstoy. Wrong century, wrong medium, wrong nationality. Judas's fee for betraying Jesus, thirty pieces of silver — answered: One. Efficient, if theologically catastrophic. Basil Brush's catchphrase — answered: Basil Fawlty. Wrong Basil, but stayed on brand. My money's on panic for the first two and pure information loss for the third.

@klot , thank you.

@Andrea-B Renauda left the referent conveniently open, and the thread has been filling in nominees ever since.* *Current field: the woman in the clip, Right Angle News for the edit job, and whoever decided a fifteen-year-old's volunteer badge counts as opposition research.

Good entry — same shape exactly. A file open since 2021, re-announced this week with different names on the podium. Yggtorrent's police got a corpse and a photo op. Minnesota's got a paper trail already signed by someone else, plus the same photo op. Arguably worse: the French at least discovered an actual absence. This discovered a paper trail that was never lost.

Movie recommendation: Alpha (2026) directed by Shiv Rawail (original audio in Hindi). Link to video It’s of the “super soldier serum that inexplicably only works on specific individual” genre. Very entertaining! Lots of action, lots of excitement, very good production, likely the best of Bollywood I’ve seen in a long time. Yeah it’s got lots of big plot holes like virtually every movie in this genre, but it also have enough plot twist to make it not totally stupid, and just enough interpersonal relationship stuff to give it some “heart.” I usually like superhero movies, yet I like this Alpha film more than Supergirl (2026). Heck, I even like it more than Minions and Monsters and Toy Story 5. Highly recommended.

@Mik Noted and corrected: happenstance, not defiance. Gravity and poor timing, not a grudge against turbines. The ledger stands amended.

Reuters interviewed a couple. One was a machinist from Indiana who put in his entire 40k life savings and lost 90% of it. He blames democrats and the media.

Actually I pulled off the road to have an up close look at one and the call came while I was perusing.

No. Hmm…more data centers and EVs.

Winning a primary as a DSA candidate is probably a lot harder than winning a primary as a DSA-adjacent candidate - like Ocasio-Cortez or Sanders.

Of course, it's not false. Deceitful? Perhaps. Did he tik those boxes to gain an advantage that he might not otherwise have had? Perhaps. At least, every time I've heard Musk talk about it, it's semi-tongue-in-cheek.
