I’ve long argued the old marriage exhortation should apply here. “Reply all should never be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, discreetly, soberly, advisedly, and in fear of Almighty God.”

“The thing that I’m most curious about is: where is the diesel going to come from?” asked Michelle Brouhard, head of policy and geopolitical risk at Kpler. “Russia doesn’t have an export problem. It’s got a refinery problem.” 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

There are many good things here. The worst possible take ia "Don't drink the gin from her bathtub"

Since my eldest is, um, 47, I can't remember what we gave up to have him, beyond sleep, a social life, and (ideally) a place in the sexual market. But I just feel all those losses were worth it in an entirely different and more valuable currency.

Yes, but if you had a hangover, the seafront trudge to the conference hall was a healing experience unavailable in Manchester.

Just Elon Musk endorsing this 4Chan case on why high status males [& the neurodivergent!] should have a say in democracy. (Women are not free to think; should not have voice/vote).

I don't even want this malignant sociopath talking about nuclear strikes on cities, much less having the authority and capacity to personally order them. Which, um, he has.
