I'm sorry but the footage of everyone brawling at Leagues Cup is hilarious, this tournament is basically just a league PowerPoint deck full of words like "synergy" and "brand equity" and people are like hell yeah I'm ready to go to jail for that

Quantifying is hard but I figure about 90% of the problems with cops can be addressed by eliminating high speed chases and making carrying lethal or severe non-lethal (eg Taser) force a specialized subset of cops with extremely high training and accountability standards.

Nothing. It’s delicious! The reason it’s funny is that it’s being cited as the reason Br*tish cuisine is replete with flavor.
George Pearkes (@peark.es)
The Br*ts think I’ve never been to Blighty and eaten their cheddar and all I can say is: lol. lmao.
George Pearkes (@peark.es) reply parent
Jack I assure you I have had “proper” Cheddar both in the UK and in the US. And the top end of both are similar, also quite delicious.

No they think all American cheese is Kraft singles.
George Pearkes (@peark.es) reply parent
I’ve eaten kippers in the UK! And cheddar! They’re not bland! But picking them as the least bland foods in your cuisine says a hell of a lot lol.
George Pearkes (@peark.es) reply parent
Right cheddar cheese isn’t bland per se but like, choosing that as your “our food isn’t bland” evidence is wild.
George Pearkes (@peark.es) reply parent
“Our food isn’t bland! We have kippers and cheddar cheese!” is a WILD TAKE, this is the stuff I need to get me going in the morning.

Leaving aside everything else here, Navarro also has his timeline wrong. Cooks first meeting as governor was in June 2022, when the Fed raised rates by 3/4 of a point, the biggest hike in nearly 30 years. #EconSky

Idk. They’re attributing everything directly to the source of the claims. I would have serious concerns if they were not doing that.

Imagine if there was a fentanyl dealer in your neighborhood, but all people did was complain about how terrible it was that they were infringing on the Sackler's patents, and besides that the dealer probably wasn't making any money after giving out so many free samples.
