15 days agoI personally enjoy watching the tourists freeze in t-shirts and shorts in SF in the summer. Granted inland Northern California is way too hot.

6·15 days agoUnfortunately the US has a standing legal obligation to invade the Hague in this case cause the 9/11 era Congress had brain worms.
Oh God this is the first time they’ve had to deal with wet weather isn’t it? Hopefully the brakes work.

3·1 month agoThey likely would have needed to redesign all the controls and figure out the initiation sequences out again from scratch. The weapons in question were fitted with encrypted detonation controls developed with US assistance.
They have a lot of the Soviet weapons design bureaus. Not sure how many of the original designers are still around. The tricky bit will be refining enough uranium or plutonium in a war zone.
Ah today’s bothsidesism
Lol. I thought the Falkland Islands looked a lot like Madagascar I just somehow never looked at the rest of the map.
That has nothing to do with the bill which hasn’t passed. this feels like people blaming the New Green Deal for things.

Based on the comments it appears the prompt doesn’t really even fully work. It mainly seems to be something to laugh at while despairing over the writer’s nonexistant command of logic.

Honestly it got pretty visible during the height of the covid pandemic: https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-68c9762a4420094d300f9cbada0186f8
Not sure how much worse you could make it.
The feds are actually disturbingly fair about this. You can deduct your legal fees as a business expense.
wikipedia excerpt
While embezzlers, thieves, and the like are forced to report their illegally acquired income for tax purposes, they may also take deductions for costs relating to criminal activity. For example, in Commissioner v. Tellier, a taxpayer was found guilty of engaging in business activities that violated the Securities Act of 1933.[8] The taxpayer subsequently deducted the legal fees he spent while defending himself.[8] The U.S. Supreme Court held that the taxpayer was allowed to deduct the legal fees from his gross income because they meet the requirements of §162(a),[9] which allows the taxpayer to deduct all the “ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on a trade or business.”[10] The Court reasoned (and the Internal Revenue Service did not contest the point) that it was ordinary and necessary for a person engaged in a business to expect to have legal fees associated with that business, even though such things may only happen once in a lifetime.[9] Therefore, the taxpayer in Tellier was allowed to deduct his legal fees from his gross income, even though he incurred the fees because of his crime. The U.S. Supreme Court in Tellier reiterated that the purpose of the tax code was to tax net income, not punish unlawful behavior.[11] The Court suggested that if this was not the case, Congress would change the tax code to include special tax rules for illegal conduct
Iran has been doing this a while on the theory they can keep the escalation controlled. Up until now though they’ve gotten lucky with not killing any US soldiers. From a domestic political situation the Biden administration will probably need to retaliate. Hopefully this won’t get too much further out of hand.
It’s worth pointing out here that this script was probably written by a human.
Edit: reporting now indicates that it was human written https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/01/george-carlins-heirs-sue-comedy-podcast-over-ai-generated-impression/
No he’s thrown 2000% tariffs around at least once in the last few months. Fortunately for all involved he seems to have stopped doing that and switched to something a tiny bit less stupid.
