What the treat empire cannot acknowledge is that a French fry is best about twenty seconds after it comes out of the frier, so when you put it in a box and drive it across town, you're getting the idea of a French fry. The true delivered fry does not and cannot exist

Trump after meeting a man-sized earthworm. I love to eat dirt now. You can cut me in half and there'll be two of me. I really believe this.

In addition to Starship’s troubled development now lasting longer than the entire Apollo program, we’re also at “Starship has been in development longer than the gap between the end of WW2 and Sputnik”.
A funny thing about this is that Starship was announced in October of 2012, 12 and a half years ago. That is longer than the gap between Kennedy’s speech at Rice (September 1962) and the *last* Apollo flight (December 1972)

extremely funny way that I have just bikesticked myself: somehow managed to crash the control panel on my stereo system, the radio is on, the display lights up, but it won’t respond to any control inputs.
the funniest bit? this isn’t some modern smart device, it’s from the 1980s.

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.
Le Monde has a long article describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.
He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.
That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund
and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.
Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic

midcentury industry had some truly unparalleled company names. of course the self-consciously futuristic ones like "Tektronix" "Rocketdyne" "Teledyne" but also the nondescript but pleasingly evocative ones: "Fairchild Semiconductor" "Martin Marietta" "AT&T Long Lines" "North American Rockwell"
