  1. Mr. Free Speech https://fortune.com/2023/06/21/elon-musk-declares-cis-cisgender-slurs-twitter-punishable-suspension/
  2. Under previous ownership, Twitter fought censor requests in the Turkish courts and won. Musk complied with Erdogan’s demands without a fight.
  3. Oh for sure. Maya always excels as Kamala and Dana Carvey was a welcome addition as “JoeBiden” - he really killed it.
  4. Thanks for the heads up, wasn’t even on my radar. Currently watching travel vlog videos on YouTube but will try to remember to switch over to NBC later
  5. The Republican presidential candidate unveiled the “Official Trump Watch Collection” on Thursday. The most expensive, listed as including 122 diamonds on its bezel and available in three 18-karat gold styles, costs $100,000. Another “Fight Fight Fight” model is listed at $499. https://apnews.com/article/trump-election-campaign-watches-c6000a9944a5e9116b99ca2fe8b95cb0 I noticed Clarence had upped his style game as of late:
  6. Oh come on, you had fun with it.
  7. Are you sure you aren’t just a little Kamala curious? Maybe you’d prefer the soulful stylings of Jon Batiste laid over this funky groove?
  8. Nailed it! Like and share if you agree.
  9. The barcode is on the envelope
  10. In theory, yes, as should San Pellegrino I suppose and maybe it does for some. But for me and it just may be a “me thing” but the marketing just doesn’t deliver as immersive experience.
  11. I like Fiji Water because I can pretend I’m on vacation.
  12. I think Nick Offerman would be a shoe in casting choice for a Ulysses movie.
  13. It’s perfectly normal, try to remember all the moments you shared.
  14. Dude, they won the 2014 People’s Choice Award for best TV Bromance. That’s right, they beat out the guys from Big Bang Theory, so show some respect. https://fandomnetnews.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/supernatural-boys-win-peoples-choice-award-for-favorite-tv-bromance/
  15. How would they know the temperature 485 million years ago? They didn’t have thermometers back then.

  17. Man, what a character
  18. Oh sweet, you’re back with a fresh bucket of rocks. Carry on good sir, happy Friday!
  19. Here is where he said he didn’t have any wars. He didn’t say “not start”, he said I’m the only President in 72 years to not have any wars — which is incorrect.
  20. Technically, she didn’t lie: But none of this is “war,” according to the US government. A Department of Defense official, speaking on background, told Vox, “An aspect of military service includes serving in locations where hostile actions may occur. Those locations are designated by executive order and/or the secretary of defense. However, it’s important to note that just because a service member is in one of these locations does not mean they are engaged in war. The US is not currently engaged in a war and does not have troops fighting in active war zones anywhere in the world.” Harris does appear to have carefully chosen her wording — “active duty in a combat zone in any war zone” — though this may not be a particularly meaningful distinction for troops facing an incoming drone attack. One could also get further in the weeds and point out that the US hasn’t formally declared a war since World War II, and that US troops in Iraq and Syria are still operating under legal authorizations passed in the wake of 9/11. Beyond the legal hair-splitting, Harris made the comment in the context of a defense of the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, and it is true that under Biden, the US military posture overseas has significantly shrunk from what it was under the Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations. (Trump has falsely claimed in the past that his presidency was the first in 72 years that “didn’t have any wars,” despite the fact that he oversaw four years of combat in Afghanistan as well as major military escalations in Iraq, Syria, and Somalia. At least 65 US troops died in hostile action under Trump’s presidency.)
