You can say that again!

Yeah, that’s to be expected after launching a war against another country to hold your government together enough to avoid being subject to prosecution.

Tehran wasn’t going to be like “Yeah, let’s just take this in stride.”

What is with this end-times porn? I don’t like to kinkshame, but, like … making sure to escalate things that will affect tens of millions of people because you don’t want to end up in court – and I don’t say this lightly – is straight-up evil.

Is there truly an audience for “I don’t want any proof, just answer my question”?

As Elon said, let that sink in. Perhaps an unpopular position, but if that’s all users want and it makes them more money, of course that’s what Google will do.

I’m in no way suggesting this is a good direction, but it’s unsurprising.

Suggestion: Keep the SSDs and get external housings. They’re unlikely to generate any significant income, so using them as backups may be the better solution.

I’m going to be embedded with Street Medics, so the risk is lower than for somebody just sauntering down there. This does not change having an exit strategy should things go south. The official protest lasts only until before sunset, and we plan to leave at 20.00.

The key word there is “plan” … best laid plans.

My take, and I’ve only been covering politics since the '90s, is they realized they crossed the line for public support, so now there are two options: admit overreach (obviously not an outcome here) or double down.

Respectfully, no fucking shit. I wanted to happily just go about designing pages, and then it became clear the point of the enterprise was not to inform our readers.

I honestly don’t know how others engaged in “journalism” were willing to look the other way. “Because they needed to provide for their families” or some shit? You cease to be a journalist when you compromise your ethics. You’re now in marketing or PR.

I’m short one (1) bike to have a bike as an option.

If you think the forks are bad, wait until you see the spoons! (Tip your waitress; try the veal.)

They didn’t even make the McRib permanent!

This keeps up, and the press is going to be so weakened that we can’t even have seed oils anymore.

When on Earth did that become major?

I mean, that could work as well. A comma in a hed replaces “and” – semicolons are very rare, though.

I’m giving that comma in the hed some serious side-eye. I get Al-Jazeera isn’t an English-native publication, but they usually do better than this. In this context, the comma is saying the two are unrelated. An “as” or “with” fixes the issue.

Are they really “shocking,” though?

How much more can you pack into like eight hours? This was already dense! Sure, I called it 24, but no. It was midafternoon to midnight.

Well, there’s this …

Yep, and this is the first time I’ll not just be there, but as a participant. Sunday was illuminating.

Sure, but this is only going to expand the Overton window in one direction. People with facts tend not to be as inflammatory.

Great, after the horses have not only bolted but been shipped to El Salvador.
