How did he pass the security check? Maybe he failed it but it was overruled by Starmer.

How would a UK security check have picked this up?  The incriminating evidence was contained in FBI files.

The Washington Post has laid off all their editors of their book section. 

something dies in something.

Their owner...some guy named Bezos...clearly doesn't know how to run a business.

I think it's the opposite. Bezos clearly knows that the way to accumulate even more wealth is to collaborate. And the best way to collaborate is to destroy one of the best newspapers in the world.

If those are illegal, we have a functioning court system with the authority to make that determination.

How many times has the Trump administration stopped doing something and changed its ways because the court told them to do so?

I am not sure it will be possible to extract Yi's head from the sand given how firmly planted it has become.

What do you call 'sleepy stuff' , other than mucus in the eyes?

I guess there's a medical term for it, but the above alway seemed a workable everyday term.

Sand?  It's caused by some goblins throwing it in your face when you sleep.  Too much can cause your eyes to fall out.  Then the goblins take your eyes back to the moon to feed their children.  I think there was a paper about this in the New England Journal of Medicine.

To be fair to Bezos the White House no longer attempts to hide its scandalous activities, so you don't need Hoffman and Redford anymore.

I grew up reading the Post and up until I cancelled in late 2024, still had a subscription. Sucks to see it trashed and gutted. Billionaires are a blight on society.

HOI4 is only worth playing, IMO, with the Kaiserreich mod.

We call it sleep. "I have sleep in my eyes." Or sleep crusties.

But apparently it is called rheum. I have never actually heard anybody say that word in my life.

Jesus. How embarrassing.

We would rather just keep our subs but we will use your bases to operate them!
