That lockdown at the AB could be something like a missing M16 or something similar.

We need a copy of the seating plan for the Press Corpse so we can direct our ire at the outfits who send them there to ask REALLY STUPID FUCKING QUESTIONS.

John Roberts is such a fucking git, not quite Reek levels, but vying to compete with the worthless twit.

Stupid idiot, "nuclear capable" means that you can put a nuclear warhead on some delivery medium. In space, nukes are forbidden by a 1967 treaty.

And Putin is very well known for his willingness to abide by treaties.

As shown by Ukraine...

The serious threat here is the Russian intention to use nukes to take out satellites. Communications. And they'll probably be EMP enhanced, which fries electronics.

Karine is talking about death. The White House Press Corpse is uninterested in the death of people in Kansas City. They're more interested in how old Biden is.

Imagine if Joe Biden was 70. What would anyone even have to use vs Trump at that point. That’s all they have.

Gaza and COVID spring to mind (yes, COVID is still killing people and the sociological production of ending the 'pandemic' is all Biden's doing).

OT:

Do you want to work in Antarctica?

Well, you cannot work in Antarctica

Antarctica is owned by Australia

And they do not have any jobs

It looks sooooooo cool. (In the sense of being neat.)

I hope we soon get an "Antarctica" video game. I would love to do science-y things there. Plus, the vehicles look great.

Images I've seen of that southern most icy continent are simply breathtaking. Awe absolutely overwhelms.

SPI had a board game back in the 70s about a war over Antarctic resources, which was ended by the Kaylar-Pangyn treaty.

Several of the great 19th Century colonial powers put claims on Antarctica. To of course include Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and Chile. Then there's Norway's slice of the pie...

Back in the day they must have been all "what would we do with it anyway?" and now in a few years they'll start building roads and cinemas and Starbucks, probably.

OT: watching "High School Big Shot" on the MST3k marathon. I remember seeing this when it first aired 30 years ago. That makes me an old.

Hi I’m Jon Stewart and I’m here to tell everyone Joe Biden is old!

As if we haven’t heard that joke 50 billion fucking times since he’s been elected.

I saw a great tweet that said Biden should just lean into the meme and do a press conference from a coffin or get wheeled in by Kamala only to spring up like Willy Wonka.

What Stewart was pointing out is that the Joe Biden we see in front of us is a far cry from the one we're *told* exists behind closed doors and that it's *Biden's* job to demonstrate his fitness, not ours to just *believe* it. Especially if democracy is on the line, which it certainly is.

I also wasn't super excited for Steward's return. The world is a much different place than when he left... and comes back to tell us how old Biden is. Thanks Jon, hadn't noticed 😬

I can admit it now, but I never thought Jon Stewart was All That in the first place. His repertoire is limited. It can be funny, in a society where rampant unseriousness is having extremely serious consequences, but it doesn't reveal anything not already visible.

He's a skilled TV comedian. Nothing wrong with that. But all I ever saw him do was a comically-overstated run-of-the-mill affluent Liberal take on affairs of the day. When it was quick and well-paced, he was very good at it. When it required nuance and analysis, he became superficial and bogged down badly.

Trump's a perfect target for him, so he should have fun and we should have fun watching him shoot fish in a barrel. But, as hard as it can be to detect in the current environment; he's not elevating the discourse but rather the opposite. Which, in today's America, is OK I guess. We're not much in for analytical conversations.

The media can’t go 5 seconds without mentioning Biden is old.

Reporter: There was a shooting today and did you know Joe Biden was old? Stock market is soaring but Joe Biden is still old. Tomorrow’s forecast Is cloudy with a chance of rain and another day older for Joe Biden!

They brought him out of retirement to tell us THAT?
