I saw this on X and was surprised (or perhaps not so surprised) at the lack of coverage in International Media. The police kept the groups from clashing, so maybe that had something to do with it.
Mainstream media estimates are around 5000 for the protest and 1000-2000 for the counter-protest.

Ayyy, what book are you up to? I've just started Desolation Island.
Jack also says he likes using African boarding parties because they steal the courage out of Spaniards. There's a scene where the boarders get a bit excited pre-action and cover themselves in cooking grease and ash in Napoleonic Blackface.

5 and 7 are about building accessibility. If they conflate 'wanting your building to have wheelchair access' with 'I support DEI', they are being willfully dishonest.

But billionaires get open license for underage pussy because they're rich? No, they should face the same crushing punishments inflicted on ordinary people who have sex with underage women, regardless of whatever ameliorating circumstances there are.
Absolutely. There's really no excuse for it. Billionaires can afford to employ a 'fixer' to get them whatever they desire (presuming what they desire isn't something explicitly underage). It's not difficult to do a background check to confirm all the girls are 18+, check them for discretion, make them sign NDA's etc.
I will agree that finding and employing a trustworthy fixer is something that would likely take time and effort though.
Furthermore, Epstein committing 'suicide' in the anti-suicide ward while the cameras were conveniently switched off is clear proof of some kind of paedophile-sex ring deeply embedded in the US government. The Q people were directionally correct.
It was blatant. As soon as cameras malfunction in a prison a tech is called out. High priority camera feeds are constantly monitored by people in a prison's control room on a monitor wall. A camera that is used for suicide watches malfunctioning is not something that can happen unnoticed. If a camera or NVR (recording server) malfunctions, a large blatantly clear alert pops up on the security management system. Most systems, especially those in prisons, have a redundant recording server so there are two copies of the video feeds.
I don't know how they got all the prison guards to shut up about it though. It would have been an expensive and high risk operation to shut so many mouths.
I also don't know if it was a paedophile ring, but Epstein clearly knew something that someone powerful didn't want getting out and that someone tied up loose ends. It must have been very important to them to make such a blatant move that clearly erodes so many peoples' trust in the justice system.
Some of the "best" Twitter threads are just a dozen tweets and screencaps of random books/papers tied together to make some coherent point that you can nonetheless swipe through in 5 minutes. Is such content plagiarism? I find the notion itself absurd; this isn't academic writing.
I think it's poor form to not give a 'H/t to @meduka for giving me the idea for this thread' or similar. It takes 2 seconds and gains you status, rather than loses it.
Edit: Saw that he linked Dinomight. Lessens the 'wrong'

It's so overt that Pakistan's defense minister almost let the mask slip off.(ignore the twitter handle, video is real)
What the hell? His argument is 'we're only a state sponsor of terrorism because the West trained us to be'?
Well, I guess the pressure's off Hegseth with Defense Ministers like this bumbling around.

Yeah, I would struggle to understand how 'facilitate' doesn't mean make a diplomatic request. No need to send in a SEAL team if they're told no.
But it also seems so strange to request an extradition? of an El Salvadorean from El Salvador into ICE custody.

Desolation Island. Aubrey scammed out of accolades for taking Mauritius for the British. Apparently he's now headed to Australia.
I expect battles, bad puns and likely Stephen Maturin getting excited over a platypus.

Good question. I'm not a signals expert, but perhaps jamming everything except a narrow band for their own comms. The comms band is cycled regularly (daily?).

BTW Putin has been reputedly jamming the shit out of area around his limo since early 2010s so it seems someone knew about FPVs back then
Could also be jamming remote triggers on IEDs, but good security regardless.

Your job sucks. It sounds like the company doesn't want to pay its staff and is having cashflow issues. Expecting you to do massive long round trip drives and pressuring you to not count those hours somehow (eg your lunchbreak was while you were on the road or some similar bs). Also not paying maintenance on your truck so you have to pay for maintenance out of your own pocket?
I’m bleeding working this job, and hearing the overwhelmingly positive feedback from my supervisor almost feels like gaslighting.
Of course. They're underpaying you and you're working for free. He will say whatever he needs to to keep you bleeding for the company and his own KPI's.
I know you're already doing it, but get another job ASAP.

I'd try to remind myself that someone resorting to ad hominem has lost the argument. There's little point in pointing this out to them as it will likely result in more ad hominem, but to neutral parties, the one resorting to insults isn't the one that is credible.

Maybe his calculus was that the only way to reshape
existing trade relationsAmerica was to just rip the band-aid off, because otherwise governments and businesses would have just eternally dragged their feet.
As a general rule I'd say his attitude is the above. If you slowroll any policy it will just give the opposition time to bog things down, or so the thinking goes.
I think it was JD Vance that said they've set themselves a target to accomplish as much as they can before the mid terms.

I rode a motorbike without owning a car for about 10 years.
Basically if you can control yourself (which is a big 'if' for most riders in their 20's) the largest risk comes from inattentive and reckless drivers in other vehicles. Think of the worst driving you've seen in a car where people don't effectively check mirrors, blind spots, or oncoming traffic. Now crank that up 2x or 3x. That's how often you will see people turning into your path from side roads or changing lanes directly into you. Some people train themselves on only noticing car sized objects or larger in their mirrors.
You need reasonable reflexes (or riding experience) to defensively react quick enough to this sort of behaviour. It's probably the main reason I gave up motorcycle riding.
If you do get a bike, remember to wear All The Gear, All The Time (ATGATT).

Most things from the golden age of Science Fiction are pretty good. Things by Robert Heinlein, E.E. 'Doc' Smith, Larry Niven, Isaac Asimov etc.
Most of the heroes are strong willed masculine archetypes, but flawed in one way or another.

The Mauritius Command. Somehow Aubrey now has kids.
I wish the series were better spread out over the Napoleonic Wars, but I guess the author didn't realise how popular the series would get when he started writing it and timeskipped too much to cover the best bits of the wars.

I'm sure posters here could provide a reasonable steelman for Trump's position if asked
I asked this after the election, because the tariffs were on the horizon even back then.

It's bizarre.
It's normal hyper-agency in action. This is not a child, its a male adolescent and thus has full agency and responsibility. How else could the filmmakers make their point?

I had to read several articles about this to really understand
I hate journalists so much. They deliberately lie by omission because of their ideologies (Right wing journos leave things out too).
It shouldn't take so much time to figure out what all these people are arguing about.

Try toasting croissants open with ham, cheese and tomato filling.
Its more the 'You aren't against wheelchair access are you? Then approve our racial quotas!' that gets me riled up.
They bundle these things together to get 'inclusion' to do the heavy lifting for 'diversity' and 'equity'.
