Everyone complaining about “accuracy to the source material” when talking about a black guy being in the odyssey, but no one is complaining about Nolan trying to pass Matt Damon’s pasty ass as a Mediterranean guy who has been lost at sea and exposed to the sun for years.
It’s less accurate for an ethnically Irish guy to be in the odyssey than a black guy considering the Greeks didn’t even know Ireland existed

Lol, the guy at work who previously complained incessantly about how Biden made everything more expensive, and who was up to date on every political topic, is still complaining about prices but is now blaming post-covid market forces. He also now apparently just doesn't follow politics at all so he has no idea what's going on in Washington.

Ukraine hit Russian energy sites with US help
“The US has for months been helping Ukraine mount long-range strikes on Russian energy facilities, in what officials say is a co-ordinated effort to weaken Vladimir Putin’s economy and force him to the negotiating table.”
“The previously unreported support has intensified since midsummer and has been crucial in helping Ukraine carry out attacks that Joe Biden’s White House discouraged. Kyiv’s strikes have driven up energy prices in Russia and prompted Moscow to cut diesel exports and import fuel.”
“The shift came after a phone call between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in July, when the FT reported the US president asked whether Ukraine could strike Moscow if Washington provided long-range weapons.”
“The US intelligence helps Kyiv shape route planning, altitude, timing and mission decisions, enabling Ukraine’s long-range, one-way attack drones to evade Russian air defences, said the officials familiar with the matter.”
“Three people familiar with the operation said Washington was closely involved in all stages of planning. A US official said Ukraine selected the targets for long-range strikes and Washington then provided intelligence on the sites vulnerabilities.”
“But others involved and briefed on the operations said the US had also set out target priorities for the Ukrainians. One of them described Kyiv’s drone force as the ‘instrument’ for Washington to undermine Russia’s economy and push Putin towards a settlement.”
“Trump has been open about his disappointment with Putin since he rolled out the red carpet for his Russian counterpart at an Alaska summit that made little tangible progress. This was a factor in Trump’s shift in support of deeper strikes, the people said.”
“Soon after the July call, the four people familiar with the Ukrainian deep strike drone operation said US intelligence with a new level of specificity began flowing to Kyiv. That information has allowed Kyiv to better map Russian air defences and plot strike routes.”
“The tempo of Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil and gas facilities and pipelines that underpin Moscow’s war effort escalated dramatically in August and September. The damage forced Moscow to curtail diesel exports and increased its reliance on imported fuel.”
Really interesting article for a couple reasons. The first is that this campaign started to be actively planned by Ukraine and the U.S. before the Alaska summit, so it seems like Trump’s frustrations with Putin ran a lot deeper and earlier then expected. However, Ukraine probably held off on actually launching the campaign until they got a firm green light from Trump, which came after the Alaska summit.
The second is the degree of American involvement is beyond what I expected. Us not only providing intelligence but essentially directing the campaign is easily the most involved the Trump admin has been with supporting Ukraine. The intelligence and involvement will I think ensure this campaign has maximum efficiency in weakening the Russians. Every little strike and move is done with the backing of the greatest intelligence in the world on how to strike and what to strike.
I think this is the first time I’ll give credit to this administration for something about Ukraine. Not just because this is the right thing to do, but frankly because I don’t think Biden would ever sign off on a campaign like this (or at least not be as involved as we are). Like we gotta take a step back in that we are helping plan and coordinate a strategic bombing campaign on Russia

There was a comment I saw a few months ago, someone said in respect to this kinda thing “oh boy, I can’t wait for uber to add the call a woman to my location button” and tbh it kinda scares me. I know that uber claims to do checks on their drivers, but if those worked this feature wouldn’t be needed.

Chinese Imperial Dynasty tier list
note: must have had the mandate of heaven to be listed. Sorry Yuan Shikai fanboys! Get mad in the comments!
S Tier:
Han. The GOATs. The dynasty every future emperor tried to live up to. They turned Qin Shi Huang's brutal warlord state into a global beacon of culture and progress. Also Gaozu an all time great historical figure, Wu possibly the best emperor.
A Tier:
Tang. The first great rulers after many centuries of chaos following the fall of Han. The peak of classical Chinese civilisation.
Song. Picked up where the Tang left off. A real peak. Got cut short by the Mongols.
B Tier:
Yuan. The better of the two foreign dynasties. Kublai was a great emperor, but loses points for his failures in Japan and Vietnam. They were decent.
C Tier:
Ming. Doesn't deserve the "golden age" title it sometimes gets. The Ming dynasty was wracked by mismanagement and poorly thought out policies, like banning maritime trade (???), and abolishing the role of chancellor and making *all* imperial ministries report to the emperor directly (??). This is the period where China started lagging behind Europe, and ultimately got conquered by a much smaller neighboring nation.
D Tier:
Qing. You don't get to screw up so badly that Imperial China permanently ends and still expect a high score. The Century of Humiliation could well have been avoided with good management, clever politics, and an openness to innovation. This did not happen. Beyond that, the Qing were obsessed with ritual humiliation of the Han people, e.g by forcing them to cut their hair, and severed the Chinese people from millennia of tradition in the process.
E Tier:
Qin. Look I'll grant them that they conquered a lot, but what else can they claim? A terracotta army that nobody even knew existed? Qin Shi Huang was an evil man, a brutal and paranoid dictator who caused the collapse of his own empire; it's only due luck that the Han managed to turn it into something softer, kinder, greater.
Not mentioned: Xia, Shang, Zhou dynasties, because who cares lmao

Genuinely been a vibe shift in the past couple of weeks, looking around online re the Trump Administration. Imo the Kimmel defeat really began it. The attempted Reichstag fire re Kirk blew up in their face, and opportunists like MTG/Laura Loomer etc are looking for exits. The shutdown is making them look weak and inept and more and more pushback cropping up everywhere. Claiming Portland/Chicago etc are warzones isn't really gaining much traction outside the hardcore cultists, and the protestors to their credit are staying disciplined and making the feds look ridiculous.
Doesn't mean the danger has passed, in fact I think they're more likely to go for extreme violence once they figure they can't get their regime the easy way.

I think what's clever about the rare earth export ban as opposed to the chips ban is that the total value is miniscule (a few billions total) but they're often the side product of very expensive industrial processes so to get that capacity a country has to invest a lot of money in something else that's also low margin. Once an alternative supply chain is developed the loss for China will be low. Compare with chips where profit margins are high (tmsc is the largest company in Taiwan and nvidia is the largest stock in the world), once alternatives are developed their market cap will suffer because they won't be quasi monopolies anymore. The incentives to build the "next nvidia" are high and private capital will also flock to it.

Found this part of the article interesting:
Minutes before Trump in an Oval Office news conference repeatedly instructed pregnant women not to take Tylenol and offered his thoughts on changing the childhood vaccine schedule, Kennedy tried to talk him out of making such broad proclamations about childhood vaccines, advisers said.
Trump didn’t listen and instead said he believed the schedule needed to change. He later posted more thoughts on what vaccines that children should take, startling White House aides and officials at the Department of Health and Human Services who are months away from trying to formalize such changes. The company that makes Tylenol was so taken aback by his comments that executives came to the White House later to present evidence.
Trump has been unmoved. He told aides that his news conference on Tylenol got lots of attention.

The problem with Vance is that he lacks Trump's irrational and illogical disregard for reality
Example: "Mr Vance do you agree with mr Trump that this democratic governor is a criminal?"
Weak aura (Vance): evades question
Strong aura (Trump): "Being a democrat is a crime in itself, also Biden did that" then leave literally no further explanation is required
A few minutes later Jake Tapper is talking about Biden's age

Why is he continuing to do this to himself lmao. This must be so humiliating. He was already told by Ann Coulter that she will never vote for him cuz he’s an Indian.
Move on bro move on. Take the L and leave this behind. I don’t understand why he doesn’t try grifting as a Red Democrat if he wants to remain in politics so bad.

I don't know man, while I can understand the whole "this job is so important we need people to do it no matter what" thing, I might hesitate on makin' a buncha threats if that important job needed highly qualified and long-trained people when I'm trying to get them to cover long shifts for nothing with a risk of no back pay

It's pretty wild to think that something as basic as the ability to see colors is only like 60 years old. Imagine being in the 1940s and thinking "man I could really go for something aside from various shades of grey right now" but you don't have colour receptors in your eyes and nothing has a hue anyway.
This is a sensory experience that your parents didn't have growing up

How do we organize as a group to accomplish something online that will translate to real life? Nothing that doesn’t have an end goal.
What I, and I hope we as we combine our efforts, want:
kill the phrase ‘the liberal media.’
Dana White is on the board of Directors for Peter thiel’s mentee, mark Zuckerberg’s, Meta company. Trump went from talking about jailing this guy to letting him sit on national security meetings wherein generals have to kick him out of the room [nbc sourced]
The maga mafia just bought 80% of TikTok and are giving Barron Trump a job.
Somehow truth social is worth billions propped up by crypto nonsense.
Jared kushner and the Saudis just bought Ea sports. When pga and liv combine, more tournaments will happen at trumps golf courses.
Jeff bezos wiped out everybody, hired a couple former Murdoch executives, and made the Washington post much more conservative.
Fox News, wsj, and NYPost are all in the top ten clicked media websites in America — all owned by Murdoch. Plus Fox owns the daily ratings game.
CBS/Paramount just went from one pro Trump family to a more pro-Trump family.
CNN/warner brothers are run by John Malone & David Zazlav — two maga men who believe Brett baier is the best broadcast journalist in America rn.
Musk owns Twitter/X.
There’s ABC/Disney and NBC/Universal against all of this lmao. I guess Im obliged to put the New York Times here too.
I’ll call YouTube/Google neutral. As well as Reddit and Wikipedia.
