It also stinks. Source: my apartment stinks of baked broccoli.

Trump will absolutely arm Russia, though. People keep forgetting he’s a traitor.

Also, a lot of the arms the US has sold to Ukraine can be switched off remotely by the US.

There is a difference between race and nationality.

The earth will be too hot to live on in less than 50 years, so yeah… Mr. Optimist indeed.

About 20% of Europeans own a gun; about 30% of Americans own a gun. The difference is that the latter tend to own more than one gun, making it 120 guns per 100 people.

The BBC has a great multi episode series about Pompeii at the moment if you fancy surfing the VPN seas.

I’m a big fan of Pratchett’s “-ing”.

Not if the vault is in Switzerland.

Exercise when you’re sick is a great way to get long covid or long flu. You’re just incredibly lucky. So far.

Go away, Vlad.

Because people don’t carry them around. They must be locked up and kept separately from the ammunition, or they have to be kept at a gun club.

My God… I can’t believe people are still saying this.

You’re STILL saying this shit? My God, we’re on the brink of WW3 because of people saying this shit.

AI can’t edit. AI needs editing.

I’m an editor; my sources are experts, books, research papers, people who have had similar experiences, dictionaries, a thesaurus, a degree in English Language, and a profound hatred of m-dashes and double spaces after a full stop.

US arms and equipment can be switched off remotely by the US. Buying American equipment for Ukraine is incredibly stupid.

Oh, there are a lot of guns. People just don’t carry them around.

AI doesn’t think. It gathers information. It can’t come up with anything new. When an AI diagnoses a disease, it does so based on input made by thousands of people. It can’t make any decisions by itself.

China wants Siberia because of its fresh water supply. It will either invade Russia or put Putin’s back against the wall and say, “Give us Siberia or else.”

So I’m wondering if that is one of the reasons Putin recruited Trump. To have backup.
