Is this French? Was this edited from a French cat food commercial? It feels French. European at least. Was it French? I'm thinking it was French. French?
Ahhh, Pescatarian Core; that small, short-lived off shoot of Krishna Core sure brings back some memories. I always wanted to get the crossed fishing reels like the first Mackeral X album cover.
The “population crisis” is mostly malarkey. Sure, a greying population is going to put a strain on our resources, but that’s just to be temporary. In a few decades, the populations will adjust and stabilize to a new balance.
Hamas claims that the helicopter pilot in the crash which killed the president of Iran is a Mossad agent, and that his real name is Eli Copter. French i24TV news presenter discussed this claim apparently without realizing the joke, even though the French word for "helicopter" is, well, "helicopter", just with a slightly different pronunciation.
So to recap, our species has reproduced out of control and destroyed our environment, a basic house now costs a million dollars, day care is $3K a month, white collar jobs are about to be obliterated by AI, and these obtuse ***** can't figure out why people have stopped having kids, got it.
I would say "out of control" was never really the problem. It was the consumption of the countries being discussed in the article.
Further, in the near term, Gen X is a much smaller cohort than Boomers, so the age balance will continue to be on the side of folks of working age.
In addition, the Bulwark article anyway only mentions "Europe and Asia" and the U.S. What about Africa? What about South America? We have hundreds of thousands of people trying to migrate here with their kids. Let 'em. We owe it to them anyway.
Lastly, the Bulwark article claims we can't policy our way out of this, but I would point out that if we did more, a LOT more about climate change, people might be more psyched to have kids.
But then more Americans would be having babies, so there would be less need. and people immigrated here long before climate change was an issue. There are still other things that send people here.
It's the world's biggest munnie-laundering / pump 'n dump scheme, and the SEC itself absolutely green-lit this fraud against the American public in order to fund a fascist Tr666p conquest of our struggling democracy.
Yeah, a scam to line Trump's pockets with billions of dollars without it looking like a bribe. Trump knows who is propping this up and will make sure they get their money's worth out of it if he is elected.
It’s costumed cats selling kibble in yer hed gif today: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/seanip-dinner
Will Wanderer approve?

It’s in English, so I’m thinking not.
Definitely no chihuahuas.
Mother cat's entrance has all the energy of Bette Davis, "What a dump."
I bet real cats wouldn’t eat the stuff, hence the people in suits, who didn’t eat it either!
Catfooding! 😹
Amazing!!
I love this one.
Kind of reminds me of this:

lol!
It is good!
Costumed cats? Had to be, 𝘮𝘺 cats always breakfast in their PJs. Positively leisure cats, they are
Their breath after eating that soggy fish sauce would probably be less than enticing.
The Roman Empire was built by people who love fish sauce. The Viet Nam war was also won by fish sauce eaters.
Soggy Fish Sauce would be a great name for All Pescetarian Shoe Gazer Vietnamese Thrash Taylor Swift cover band!
Set list pls.
Ahhh, Pescatarian Core; that small, short-lived off shoot of Krishna Core sure brings back some memories. I always wanted to get the crossed fishing reels like the first Mackeral X album cover.
I have nothing. This crowd is too brilliant for me.
Let me know if they re-open 924 Gilman for these bands tho...
This is glorious. And weird. But mostly glorious.
I would have gone with profoundly disturbing but glorious. I like it but I definitely wasn't mentally prepared!
The Wonkette cereal box really did it for me.
Me too!
It's beautiful and brilliant and best of all, there's enough to go around! Breakfast of champions for terrifying furry demons!
People actually watch Apple TV?

Only socialism can save us from AI.
My favorite Ludlum is "Jason Bourne - The Redundancy."
I loves me some Bourne movies!
Most of the loss was a non-cash write-off of merger expenses which, I guess, were paid in cash in some other quarter?
The real "Yikes!" is that last year, TS lost $210,300 in the first quarter on revenue of $1,100,000.
This year, TS lost $16,000,000 on revenue of $770,000.
There's no positive way to spin that.
Just finished charging my phone for three hours, and it's at 0%. Hmmm . . . maybe I should have flipped the power strip on first.
Made me look!
It isn't a crime if Maga does it. Chilling words from Bloomberg opinion.

Some pro-Hamas Telegram users have even used AI to create Eli Copter's helicopter license, which they claim was recovered in the crash.
The name apparently originated as an Israeli joke, which was picked up by Hamas and is now being pushed as a real claim.
My favorite name for them is hubschrauber.
I have 4 songs from Rodrigo in my playlist now. Her stuff is fantastic.
Well, Think Future got my sub, thanks for the pointer, Evan!
Flipped on ESPN.
Shannon Sharpe is wearing this wild purple suit jacket.
Lose the jacket. Maybe give it to Gym Jordan. He needs one.
Oh, and fuck Skip Bayless
" If you want all the news, you must read all the internet."
from the britcom My Hero:
"Hi George, what ware you doing?"
"I just read the internet."
"Oh? Which parts?"
"No, I mean the internet. The whole thing."
"George, that's the whole of human knowledge!"
"I know. Two hours it took me."
In wayback times, I could read every new post on Usenet on my lunch break, printed out by an IBM line printer because monitors hadn't been invented.

If people understood the climate crisis, they wouldn't have ANY children.
If we did aa LOT LOT LOT more there would be need to leave for people their homes and move north.
But then more Americans would be having babies, so there would be less need. and people immigrated here long before climate change was an issue. There are still other things that send people here.

"Trump’s Truth Social is doing great, only lost $327 million during the first quarter."
I honestly do not understand how this works. It's just fraud, right?
It's the world's biggest munnie-laundering / pump 'n dump scheme, and the SEC itself absolutely green-lit this fraud against the American public in order to fund a fascist Tr666p conquest of our struggling democracy.
