These shows sure are something. I'm glad I'm watching them.
Happy President’s Day, all the way.
“Justice requires us to remember that when any citizen denies his fellow, saying ‘His color is not mine,’ or ‘His beliefs are strange & different,’ in that moment he betrays America, though his forebears created this nation.”

In my headcannon, the Endly Explosive Mobile (frequently seen outside the Marjory Stoneman Douglas building, HQ of FL DEP) is driven by a crack security contractor. Regardless it inordinately delights me.

I was wrong about mineral rights in Venezuela yesterday. If they nationalized ownership of those rights in 1976, no wonder big oil is less interested in maintaining infrastructure there. If there’s not a way for big corporations to corner the right to profit from the resource itself, they’re out.

Photos of bound and blind prisoners are not the flex you think they are. They’re a sign of immense deep weakness on the part of the people taking and sharing those photos, and the society that celebrates it.

If you’re saying that you are invalidating the sovereignty of the nation where the extraction rights were allotted/assigned then you’re really just old school plundering. Which I guess is also consistent with broligarcically going to war without a legal mandate from congress. (3/3)

…doesn’t change who is legally entitled to extract the resource and profit from its extraction. So you can say “we’re taking over and we’re going to extract and make money” but I do wonder from the real property perspective who holds the oil and gas rights that are the treasure being discussed.(2/3)

So the thing about the argument that “we’re taking our oil infrastructure back” is that ownership of oil and gas rights go back to legally recorded grants of said rights. Recorded real property transfers. Invading a country and taking over infrastructure used to extract oil doesn’t change . .. (1/3)

This is why we needed the cut-on-the-writing-room floor subplot about Davo Sculdun (who owns the networks, which is why Kleya had bugged him) refusing to cut the feed of (his now in-law) Mon's speech.

Encouraging everyone to think about how every right-wing paramilitary death squad around the world for the past century has armed itself with “lost” or “stolen” military/police gear and also 97% of their members were the same guys but with masks on.

The keys are still awesome. Failed to pack the water camera/go pro so no reef shots, but we got out there and it was gorgeous. Long Key SP and Bahia Honda are such great places. Feeling somewhat refreshed for the start of the school year.

“I asked ChatGPT” well, while you were chasing men, I studied the blade, studied some chemistry and biology and law. . . I come from where the rivers meet the sea. I was early in the crazy ways. My folks said it’s just a phase.
