Russia sustains its war effort with help from Iran and North Korea. The "mighty Russia is so big, they'll never break, stop wasting lives and give in to the inevitable" takes leave that part out. Russia isn't doing this alone, and couldn't. The costs strain their society, and can't go indefinitely.

Seven times between 1801 and 1869 Congress changed the size of the court, going from a low of five justices in 1801 to a high of ten in 1863. In most of those cases, as in 1801 and 1863, the size went up and down in order to fix an imbalance or overreach by the Supreme Court. My latest

When the american liberals use France's election as an illustration of the need to VOTE, they ignore that people were not only voting against the far right but *for* something. They voted for a campaign which promises to: increase minimum wage, lower retirement age, pay for all childcare, etc

I've finished armchair-travelling Hadrian's Wall. Hinterland & outpost forts remain, but the big read is done. What gets me is, for the entire 330 years Romans occupied what's now northern England, it was *always* a heavily militarized zone. In the south, civilian life took over. Not the north.

Italian prosecutors in Milan investigated how Dior is producing their handbags.
They found that the workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock.
Consumers pay $2,780 per bag.
The production of the bags costs Dior $57.

The flipside to that as well is that the R groundgame is basically trash, which makes even those types of numbers a bit hard to interpret. Basically the whole cycle is a flock of black swans and everyone's trying to peer through frosted glass a bit to interpret what's going to happen

Especially given that Biden was an erratic speaker in his prime—the question is how far off his cognitive baseline Biden is now, and if you're gonna push out a news alert every time he misspeaks and immediately corrects himself, you're just making it harder for the public to figure it out!

That was so much fun that I then replied to the "case is closed email" with emojis, sarcasm or sad poetry to see how long it would auto-reply. I think the total number is 10. I really have better things to do! Just curious about how they are rearranging the furniture in Hell.

Then when you try again, they make you do this "I am a human" test up to 20 times. If you make one mistake, you have to do all 20 puzzles over again. I did it 40 times just for fun and to test the breakage pattern.

Ah well it had to end sometime. My 2FA app died and now Twitter is inaccessible. Even though my account is private, I still followed some folks there. Note their breakage-devoted "customer service" bot still speaks on behalf of Twitter. The case was never "open" so it cannot be closed!
