IANAL but my understanding is that there would have to be a change in the law to allow designating domestic terror groups and it’d be tough to make it constitutional. Like, international groups don’t have any constitutional protections so the State Department can make a list. For domestic groups, we have hate crime laws and the FBI can infiltrate groups and foil plots but no government agency makes a list (so it falls to non-profits like the SPLC and others).

I refuse to watch a Marvel movie until they make an Asbestos Lady movie and then that will be my favorite. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Victoria_Murdock_(Earth-616)

Until then, they all suck equally.

I don’t think she’s even German. She might have been born on a U.S. base in Germany — there are conflicting reports where some say she was born at Ft. Knox in the U.S. — but if she was, they came back to America when she was a toddler. Her dad has a German last name (her mom has an English one) and they were from Oklahoma and Kentucky.

So, at best, she’s an army brat who has an obsession with Germany but apparently not the beer and schnitzel aspect. Some other aspect.

It isn’t that odd for Americans to say “I’m Italian” when they’re like 5 generations removed from the generation that actually immigrated. But it’s weird as fuck to say what she said how she said it.

Also, I’m an LSU fan who doesn’t even root for Caitlin Clark. I bet on South Carolina in the final because I thought it’d be funny if she lost to a second SEC team. It’s absurd that a hater like me has to be the one saying, “Be patient, let her develop, get enough rest, and she maybe can be the best ever.”

It’s weird to call Brittney Griner “weak and gay” when she’s clearly very strong and gay.

Also, basically no rookie should be on the Olympic Squad. For one thing, the Team USA minicamp (or whatever it’s called) is during the NCAA Tournament so they miss that. Then, because the calendars aren’t aligned, they get basically no off-season to recover before the WNBA season starts. She probably doesn’t need another tournament to play in in 2024.

Caitlin Clark is better off being a rookie, learning to play physical basketball against grown ass women, and making her Olympic debut at the Los Angeles games. Every conservative dipshit can cry tears of pure racist joy when she wins a gold medal against France or whomever.

The process is actually weirder than that. Each state’s delegation gets one vote, collectively. Republicans would probably still win. (It’s the new Congress that does the election rather than the current one but rural states count the same as California so Republicans have a built-in advantage.) They can only choose between the top 3 candidates.

For VP, the Senate votes — I think one vote per Senator, as per usual. So, if everything is the same post-election and a party-line vote, we’d have a Trump - Kamala Harris administration. She’d remain VP and cast the tying votes in the Senate but presumably wouldn’t do anything with the White House.

Also, if the House is deadlocked 25-25 on Inauguration Day, the current VP becomes President. So, we’d have President Kamala Harris until the House broke its deadlock.

It’s tied and neither are popular: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/

Bitcoin isn’t destined to go up because supply is theoretically set. Demand could easily disappear and there could be a massive sell-off that puts more supply out there. It’s easy to imagine BTC mining being banned in a major country because it’s incompatible with carbon emission goals, raises electricity bills, puts pressure of electricity grids, facilitates money laundering, or any number of things. That would trigger a sell-off and unless some whale is capable of being the unofficial central bank, there’s nothing to stop it.

I know a guy who once held the Guinness world record for the loudest whistle. It was eventually topped — records are made to be broken — but he held the title for a couple of years.

He’s known as “Whistle Monsta” and NFL fans might know him from Saints games. He’s a long time season ticket holder and they show him on TV a lot.

They aren’t independent companies. Marvel is a Disney brand and DC is Warner Bros. Discovery. You might be able to get a rough estimate from their parent companies’ quarterly reports but to my knowledge, they don’t report it that way. (Like Disney usually breaks things down by “experiences,” “entertainment,” “streaming,” etc. for investors, who aren’t really concerned if the movies are branded as Marvel, Pixar, or Disney).

Definitely! Get your hopes up as much as possible and pre-order the mega tycoon edition the second they let you.

That really should be a bigger scandal. They were posting plans on public forums. Half the internet knew what time it was gonna happen.

Look, this is America. We all agreed that if you want to break laws, you have to go to Louisiana or Nevada. He should have moved to one of our semi-autonomous lawless zones if he wanted to get fucked up and shoot a gun.

A politicized judiciary, legislatures drawing districts, the electoral college making the popular vote irrelevant, and militarized police are starting to make me question whether we’re actually a democracy.

Oh well, at least I can vote for alderman and NBA All Stars or whatever.

I assure you, no one wants information about an old man’s foamy saliva. Recoiling in horror at a concept is not “raising questions.”

In fairness, I can’t keep my kilt down.

I think it’s perfectly possible to use Mint, Ubuntu, or Fedora without the terminal. But a lot of online tutorials are like, “Just run this command.” because it’s faster.

I’m an experienced terminal user but I know with my Steam Deck, I barely ever use it. Really the only time is when I want to update packages quicker than using the GUI tool. But you could successfully use a Steam Deck without ever launching into Desktop mode, much less opening a terminal.

Matt Gaetz being like, “No, I don’t have a receipt. It was 2am and I needed to order a bottle of Pineapple Malibu and chicken nuggets for my chief advisors. I used Uber Eats but I don’t use my real email or number for that shit.”

I love the correction:

An earlier version of this article said that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was the reimbursement program’s top spender for 2023. That analysis was based on data released by the House as of last week. But additional data The Post reviewed Tuesday showed that Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) was reimbursed for more than Gaetz was. This article has been updated.

Rep. Gaetz tried to spend the most but his “policy meetings” with the Woodrow Wilson High School dance team just couldn’t compete with whatever the hell Rep. Jack Bergman was expensing.

And a weird front for the Falun Gong cult/religion. The Washington Times, the conservative newspaper in DC, is owned by the Moonies (aka Unification Church) a different cult/religion from SE Asia.

If only there was some connection between U.S. conservative media and weird cults of personality.
