Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible

13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible

program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named

I. I did that through a mutual friend

of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a

submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was

Senator Price would do well to — how you say — stop relitigating the past and being divisive. These actions are, we've often been told, un-Australian. As her side of the aisle loves to say, "what's happened has happened", so let's "move on" #auspol

“The Israeli govt has committed several war crimes over the past two years and also at the same a non-trivial portion of criticism of “Israel” is also just antisemitism” is just an extremely bad discursive problem to have, and I don’t see any way that it doesn’t get worse. Pretty bad!

Thoroughly enjoyable, though I wish that Tribulation Farce by @timlanning.bsky.social @jennifercheek.bsky.social were just a niche nostalgic podcast look back at a weird slice of U.S. Christianist pop culture, and bears no salience on current news at all. shows.acast.com/tribulation-...

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.
