ā€œHormuz toll revenue would be an immense boon to Iran, perhaps generating over $100 billion a year, which is about the size of Iran’s entire government budget. (. . .)one of the main criticisms against Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran (. . .) was it supposedly gave Iran $1.7 billionā€

I also think Tilda Swinton's character (Karen Crowder) is a spiritual sister to Denise Gough (Dedra Meero) in Andor šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

One thing I like about Michael Clayton, and there are a great many, is: Tilda Swinton manages to make her awful corporate shill character believable, understandable and even (nearly) someone you can sympathize with.

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

goddamn this is so apt. i haven't been able to figure out why I, a person who arranged an entire FL trip around a shuttle launch (sadly a scuttled one) and who cries over last messages from space probes, have held the entire Artemis experience at arm's length, but it's exactly this.

Knew these people existed, but still my eyebrows raised to hear someone at the gym say "Springsteen has got so political now".

Of course this is entirely correct, if your local definition of 'now' starts somewhere around '75.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent.

To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as ā€œmessyā€ is an absolute abomination.

I'm just saying relation to a recent disappearance from the public eye, there is nothing preventing us just carrying on as if that person was just gone, even if like Doc Daneeka, they appear in front of us and insist they are fine.

(It's Doc Daneeka who explains the titular Catch-22 to Yossarian)

In Catch-22, the doctor, Doc Daneeka, is supposed to fly a certain number of hours. But he hates it, so he has a crew fake the flight log. When that crew's plane crashes, the pilots say 'shit, Doc Daneeka was on that plane', 'oh man, great guy' and then just act like he isn't there any more.

Pam Bondi still has to testify, under oath, in front of the Oversight Committee regarding the Epstein Files. This does not get her out of that bipartisan, lawful subpoena.

We will see her soon.

Oopsie, maybe Iran are good at the ol' computering there.

Maybe a mistake to cut and reallocate cyber security budget, and shift focus to offensive hackery... sure it'll be fine.

NEWS: FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal email has been hacked by Iran-linked group Handala Hack, DOJ says.

The group released personal photos and documents after claiming it breached the FBI, warning its security was ā€œnothing more than a joke.ā€
