UAP business aside, I’m glad congress is asking questions. We shouldn’t be paying taxes and then have our money just disappear into a black hole with zero accountability and oversight.

Nuclear takes too long to build out and costs way more than renewables + storage. Why advocate for wasting money?
It’s a false premise. What happened is that the internet allowed all the village idiots, who were previously contained and ridiculed in their own villages, to connect with each other and become more confident in their idiocy. The internet is a support group for morons.
I put it off because there’s no narration in TraumaZone, just captions but it works so well.
If it’s replacing coal and gas, it’s a big benefit.
I”ve watched all Curtis’ stuff apart from TraumaZone and I couldn’t agree more. I watched the first episode of that one a couple of night ago, I’m still processing.
I concur. You’re blocked.
It’s not a direct attack on NATO though. If Russia launched a missile at the UK then it would be on like donkey kong.
NATO is a defensive pact, you fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. Ukraine isn’t a member but I support it’s application to join.
Adam Curtis’ documentaries like HyperNormalisation, Bitter Lake, and the series Can’t Get You Out of My Head were a big one for me. He has full access to the BBC’s news archive and cuts all this really obscure footage together really creatively. His music cues are great too.

Thanks! I looked it up:
"Prince Alwaleed bin Talal agreed to roll over $1.9 billion worth of Twitter shares through his Kingdom Holding Company to Musk’s new private company, making him the second largest investor in Twitter. Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, owns nearly 17% of Kingdom Holding, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, Qatar contributed $375 million for the financing of Musk’s Twitter purchase."
I wonder if they’re happy with how their investment is going?
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Saudis finance the deal to buy Twitter? Given the platform was used extensively by protesters during the Arab Spring, would it be worth it to them to pay for Musk to destroy it?
It just sounds like a bunch of basement dwellers lucked out and got rich but nothing else changed.
Ah, that’s why I’m confused, I love the original but know nothing about modern ska.
Sure, bud. What happened on 5 December 1994?
Your understanding of the situation is somewhat lacking, I’m being very generous here.
One thing about sealioning that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is that it’s a tactic designed to utterly exhaust the other person by asking question after question with no willingness to listen to the answers. It’s there to waste time and grind down your opponent until they have had enough of your bullshit and tell you to fuck off. At that point you can feign offense and declare victory.
All of that whataboutism doesn’t stop nuclear from being a ridiculously expensive form of power generation.
