Let me guess: most of ruzzia's plutonium was looted and sold on the black market years ago.

Wow! They found one in their stockpile that had neither rotted from shoddy/absent maintenance nor had its guts removed to sell on the black market. I wonder if they have a 2nd one similarly untouched ...

Just as well. There's a lot of science fiction written on the concept of fully autonomous war machines without off switches.

There's got to be a better word than extrajudicial. I read it and, despite knowing better, my first reaction is that the "extra" in "extrajudicial" is an intensifier like the "extra" in "extra crispy." No no no no! How about "illegal"? Or even "criminal"? Nothing extra about those.

Kosciuszko (pronounced kos-CHEW-sko or koz-ee-US-ko, take your pick) fought on the Americans' side in our Revolutionary War. In my college days in upstate NY, it was a brand of excellent mustard. The mustard might be before Mamdani's time, but of course Cuomo would have known it.

Corn cakes with chicken tenders. The corn cakes start with Rex Stout's recipe in The Nero Wolfe Cookbook. I added corn and used green salsa instead of milk, then fried it in 1 cake instead of multiple 2" patties. Delicious, crunchy, and filling.

Very popular potholders over the years have used panels with realistic depictions of wild animals. Alas, those fabrics aren't offered very frequently! Here's a set that I found this month. My "make this next" pile already has 12 pairs in it, but one of them might get bumped in favor of one of these.

No, your ruzzian propaganda is garbage. You may be as much of an idiot as you sound, but there's no need for you to boast about it.

Sounds like ruzzian garbage. It's a parliamentary democracy. 72% of the population is Eastern Orthodox, 8% Greek Catholic, 1% Roman Catholic, 2% Protestant, 2% other Christian. 10% is atheist, 0.9% follows Islam, 0.4% is Jewish. There are also Hindu, Buddhist, Pagan, and Would Rather Not Say.

I read several years ago that it's estimated that ~70% of their stockpile has rotted from poor maintenance and ~30% have had their guts burgled.

My first jar of Quilt Jam is filled and ready for the next craft fair! The pen is about 6 inches long.

Good way to lose a war.

If you don't watch it, Moldova, I will water your fields with ruzzian blood just as I have done in Ukraine! Your fields will become so fertile, you will have bumper crops for a century!

Apparently the 75% who want Zelenskyy to retire include Zelenskyy. He's had one hell of a term.

I look forward to all of us forgetting that he ever was president.

My booth at the Harvest Bazaar at St John of the Wood Catholic Church, Summit WA USA. Our government, politics, and economy are weirder every day, but folks have $15 to spend on pot holders. Yesterday was my best Friday at this show, ever.

Noem: A lie is a statement that contradicts my story.

The stellar fact is not the corruption per se: in this administration, honesty would be surprising. It's the sheer paucity of the bribe that amazes.

The Felon's math is bonkers: in his example, a medication costs $10. After negotiating with Europe, the cost of the medication will drop to $20. This is a 1000% reduction.

Grade school arithmetic will need an extensive overhaul for this to make sense.

About 175 pairs of pot holders are ready to go to this weekend's craft fair!

Why hasn't he stolen them yet? Aren't they pretty enough?
