chuds have been mad about the smelt for at least a decade now in california. also the smelt that they get mad about lives in the Delta up near sacramento, 400 or so miles away from the current fire

winds in socal have had gusts up to 50+mph over the last few days and there has been almost no rain all winter

even if it were true - sorry that messaging effectively is necessary if you want to win an election dumbass! not “working families” fault you and your proxies at CNN or whatever can’t/won’t do it!

The Red Wars was one that tried to update the game to a WWII ish setting and it was fun but, as expected, incredibly janky. nova aetas was another one that was an era-update mod like that one put it in a sort of early modern/renaissance era, with colonization, religion, building, and other new features, i think their reach exceeded their grasp but it was fun and interesting. haven’t played warband in quite a while now, maybe i ought to give it a go again

whether or not it’s musk invoking HIPAA like that is one of my favorite dumb guy things that crops up occasionally. yeah it’s actually illegal to speculate about someone else’s health

no shot it isn’t already, the official numbers say 770k but those are generally considered an undercount

Are we Joeback for 2028?

biden was a better vp than president, i think 2028 will finally be time for the jimmy carter/joe biden ticket

pretty funny that the media has obviously known this for years but has waited until the last month of his presidency to finally say it

there does seem to be a difference in scale between SK and the rest of east asia as far as this stuff goes though right? did it because of cult ties but i don’t think that abe was actually a member of the moonies. 2 of the last 3 presidents being directly influenced by mystics isn’t the kind of thing that you hear about coming from other countries in the region

South Korean media reporting growing concerns about the extent of alleged shamanistic and fortune-telling influences within President Yoon’s administration, with multiple spiritual advisers allegedly operating at different levels of power.

Korea’s martial law probe has uncovered extraordinary meetings at a burger joint involving a former military commander who, after being dishonourably discharged, was found to be living in a fortune-telling shop where he allegedly practiced divination alongside other shamans.

what is it that makes south korea such fertile ground for shamans and mystics?

i wish i was/can’t wait to be(?) balding. would/will fit me well spiritually i think. late 20s now so it can’t be too much longer now

the 5-7 minute part of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles from John Candy listening to Ray Charles to the car lighting on fire is among the funniest segments ever put to celluloid. john candy da god

he also commuted the sentence of a city comptroller in IL who embezzled $53 million so she could buy horses. lol

biden commuted the sentence of a judge who went to jail for getting money to give kids lengthy sentences in for-profit juvenile prisons

with how easily digital records decay i’ve seen it argued that this could be the case

i just watched the movie deja vu, in which the govt has developed technology that allows them to look back in time 4 days 6 hours. thompson was killed about 5 days ago…

at first when i read about how much evidence he had on him when they picked him up i figured it had to be a total stitch-up but after learning about the guy it does seem like it’s probably him. i have to imagine he just didn’t want to be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life. otherwise i don’t know why he wouldn’t have just disappeared to some non-extradition country and worked at a hostel or whatever forever, especially knowing that he seems to have come from enough money for that to be a possibility.

knowing what we know about him makes all those takes about how it had to be a hitman or at least some ex special forces guy even funnier. turns out it’s actually not that hard to kill someone with a gun
