I take it things are final? Good, man.

Meanwhile Putin's texting... "NYET. YOU FOOL."

"Disaster Captialism" is one of those rare terms that projects the innocuousness and the insidiousness of human failure equally. The Maui tragedy is the first time I recall seeing the term even though the concept is well documented, and it was used in a way that I would never have expected. I've always had an inkling that Hawaiians dealt with the same water crimes mainland native populations have dealt with here in the West, but it's not necessarily something that comes to the fore. This disaster has really exposed a lot of the long simmering issues that plague the islands.

Apparently, there’s a water rights issue underlying this recent catastrophe.

Most likely she’s referring to the fact Trump famously refused to debate for most of the 2016 presidential election. It ended up working for him because he could attack his opponents from a distance with little pushback.

This thread is dead. Did anyone notice the Survivor game was going on?

So that's where that comes from.

Steak and smashed potatoes with green beans. And a martini.

You got banned for calling Bucket a Klansman? How the fuck did they justify that…. is what I’m thinking….

It’s like Duck Hunt.

Would be the first since 1939, and only the third since they started recording weather in the mid 1800’s.

It's less obtrusive than the square ones. You're not supposes to notice avatars other than as a quick way to see who is posting what. The more space they take, the more cluttered the page looks and feels.

I actually prefer the circular avatars.

I think you might like Project Smoke. That dude is fucking wack, but he does a decent job of smoking.

Tell your friend to go fuck himself. ... But seriously, watch PBS' Create channel.

Why?

They obviously don't touch on it because Oppenheimer wasn't involved in the selection of the sites or the actual bombing. He may have had an opinion on it but it would be secondary to the people who were more directly instrumental in selecting the sites and actually dropping the bombs. It's no different than suggesting Americans should be offended that Jiro offers no opinion on the attack of Pearl Harbor in The Wind Rises - fictionalized or not, both are biographies about people, not events, and you don't ask these people to commentary (through they narrative) on events they were not a part of.

Nothing. I was kind of expecting him to point out how the movie doesn’t touch on Hiroshima and Nagasaki but he didn’t.

The US doesn’t even acknowledge second citizenships.

Cool. But, why though?

The longer they investigate, the less likely they find anything.

No, they don't fear Donald Trump, the fear his slobbering masses.

What were you expecting?

Star Trek reruns.

The tie breaker would be tomorrow if it were to happen. We're not doing a full challenge
