That the Japanese fleet was safe at home in the Sea of Japan, and all those ‘Japanese’ planes were actually flown by Americans from the US carriers which just so conveniently happened to be out of the harbour at the time, so that Roosevelt had a pretext for joining the war.

Much as i abhor what Israel has done in Gaza, it all come back to a simple fact:
if HAMAS had decided to just stay home on that October 7, weed the vegetable patch, teach the kids how to make paper aeroplanes, chew some khat, talk with the wife about next week’s dinners, then there might be a lot more people alive in Gaza today, and a lot more breeze blocks still stacked on top of each other.

The singer does indeed have a very pretty head. The rest of her is pretty good to.
And in spite of the somewhat silly presentation of the song, I suspect the head houses a pretty good brain as well.

Tickets are being bought up by Republican clubs and associations to try to ‘prevent embarrassment’ for Trump and Melania.
They’re buying blocks tickets to showings, sometimes buying out the whole cinema. They’re offering tickets at enormous reductions to anyone who’ll take them, or just trying to give them away.
But, it’s a uphill battle. Very, very few people are eager to see the film. In London, one showing has sold 1 ticket. Another has sold 6.

So at the Regal Metropolitan in Austin, Texas, there are 4 showings of Melania on Friday, local time. Across those four sessions, thirteen tickets have been pre-sold. The busiest session has five pre-sold tickets.

Its hard to say such things about family members.
One is allowed to protect oneself at some point from vitriol.
When family members have mental problems (not sure if your mum does) its hard for them yes but victims of this don’t have it easy either.

Pretty much the only place it does snow in WA, and the few other nearby mountains. but is it usually just a light sprinkle that only lasts a few hours before it all melts away. Never thick enough to build up a suitable platform for skiing. if you want to see the snow up there you gotta start climbing early in the day, like crack of dawn early.

I do know this about him. He was in his third winter olympics when he won that gold medal. At the two previous events he was one of the unlucky ones that knocked over in a crash and never won a medal. So third time lucky. Crashing and falling is common in the sport, so it takes a bit of luck sometimes to win a medal. Rather than just dumb luck, I think his medal is payoff for persistence and hard work over a decade, and probably thoroughly deserved, even if people mock him for the way he won it.

His story is really quite interesting. Hanging back at the rear was the plan. He got to the final because others in his semi-final fell. A few months before the Olympics (his 3rd or 4th) he had a fall that put a skate-blade right though his leg and an artery. He nearly died from that.

Apparently it was all he wanted to do from when he was a little kid and his father took him to the rink. He wanted to be a speed skater.

agree, can be interesting to push automated systems to see how ridiculous you can get them to be
just seems to be there’s all these undercurrents among “antifa” that any near-misstep is a complete gotcha for the fascist administration there, which as many here have observed, really detracts from the actual significant missteps (or really outright harm) that should be attended

I actually tried to read it, many years ago, along with The Communist Manifesto, Das Kapital (that was a slog, for a fifteen year old), Paradise Lost, and others.
‘Mein Kampf’ was trippy, as i recall. Even if i’d never heard of it or its author before, it wouldn’t have taken long to discern the lunacy. It’s scary, because everything that he planned to do is right there in the book, years before he was in a position to do it.

It required many, many takes for that scene in the film, because Billy Crystal kept ad-libbing and deviating from the script. The director, Rob Reiner, had to get most of the production crew to leave the set, because their uncontrollable laughter messed up take after take.
Eventually Reiner told Billy to just forget the script, do it how you want.

Now is probably a good time to explain how Trump Towers actually work.
To start with, Trump doesn’t build towers. He simply licenses his name to developers. While each contract is different (and intentionally opaque), in return for allowing the developer to use his name, Trump generally receives a one off licensing fee, plus an ongoing interest in the development. If the development includes a hotel, then Trump usually receives a share of the profits.
For example, in a past licensing deal in Batumi Georgia), a comparatively small project uncovered by the Washington Post, Trump reportedly got $1 million upfront plus 12 % of condo revenue going forward (as someone who has been to Batumi, it’s worth pointing out this place is full to the brim of Russians… just saying).
Effectively, it’s free money. Trump doesn’t pay anything to be part of these developments, he gets paid just to let them use his name. Which raises the obvious question as to why anyone would pay for the rights to a brand that is seen as toxic outside the USA?
To start with, attaching the Trump name to your development often coerces local governments to support the project out of fear of upsetting the US President. There are also several examples where project approvals have “coincidentally” coincided with significant Trump foreign policy decisions.
For example, Trump slashed tariffs on products from Vietnam almost immediately after local authorities green lit a $1.5 billion Trump branded golf resort and residential development.
Noting that a significant number of these developments are located in countries notorious for corruption, many see them as a shameless vessel for government officials to funnel funds to the President – which is exactly why Trump spent so long pursuing a tower in Moscow… even when he was running for President.
Often organised crime groups pay for the Trump branding to add legitimacy to flagrant criminal operations. Several Trump Tower projects have been embroiled in money laundering and corruption scandals, such as in Azerbaijan, Brazil, and Panama.
With that in mind, it’s worth noting the property developer behind the Gold Coast Trump Tower project is a businessman who has gone bankrupt twice,
According to the ABC, he is now the sole director of Altus Property Group, which started in 2023 and only lists four other small property projects in regional areas of Queensland and NSW.
It is clear that this company does not have the $1.5 billion to fund this project, and it’s incredibly unlikely that any local bank is going to lend it to them. So what we are seeing here is a twice bankrupt developer that is almost certainly paying the Trump family to go along with this announcement so that he can raise money.
Gold Coast Council, who haven’t even received a development application for the project, will likely enjoy the international media attention, and potentially even a new internationally famous landmark.
But the real story will be who, if anyone, this developer finds to fund all this. Whether they’re from the Middle-East, Asia, or even Australia (Clive or Gina?), it’s unlikely they’ll be investing for anything other than access to Trump.
So how much could Trump make from this?
Back of the napkin calculation:
$5 million licensing fee, whether or not the project goes ahead.
270 residences selling at around A$5 million equates to A$1.35 billion. If Trump got 3 % of that (a plausible royalty), that alone could be around A$40 million (US$30 million).
A luxury hotel in a major global destination like Surfers Paradise could reasonably generate A$50 million to A$150 million a year. Typical hotel management fees are 3% of revenue plus incentive fees, so add another A$1 million to A$5 million a year for the next 10 or 20 years (depending on the contract).
All with absolutely no risk or capital input… it certainly pays to be the President.

Speaking of fucked up MAGA parents, check out The Necessary Conversation on social media, Spotify, Apple or YouTube.
Progressive adult children trying to discuss the current issues in the USA. The father is a batshit crazy Trump supporter, so is the mother but she appears a little bit more sane.
I had to stop watching this stuff, it’s so awful.
Today I watched a filum of a family therapist giving an overview of one conversation they had with their mother about the verbal and physical abuse they received as kids.

I knew Trump himself had SFA to do with it besides lending his name, and I figured from the first inkling about it that the GCC hadn’t received an actual plan for it because I did a deep dive, but to see it all laid out like this with insinuations of corruption etc… it’s quite eye-opening. When this story came up again this week, I thought it was a definite go-ahead, but it looks like it mightn’t be.
I don’t know much about the Gold Coast Council, but people say the mayor is a Trump supporter, or at least, of MAGA policies.

If the development includes a hotel, then Trump usually receives a share of the profits.
For example, in a past licensing deal in Batumi Georgia), a comparatively small project uncovered by the Washington Post, Trump reportedly got $1 million upfront plus 12 % of condo revenue going forward (as someone who has been to Batumi, it’s worth pointing out this place is full to the brim of Russians… just saying).
Effectively, it’s free money. Trump doesn’t pay anything to be part of these developments, he gets paid just to let them use his name. Which raises the obvious question as to why anyone would pay for the rights to a brand that is seen as toxic outside the USA?
To start with, attaching the Trump name to your development often coerces local governments to support the project out of fear of upsetting the US President. There are also several examples where project approvals have “coincidentally” coincided with significant Trump foreign policy decisions.
For example, Trump slashed tariffs on products from Vietnam almost immediately after local authorities green lit a $1.5 billion Trump branded golf resort and residential development.
Noting that a significant number of these developments are located in countries notorious for corruption, many see them as a shameless vessel for government officials to funnel funds to the President – which is exactly why Trump spent so long pursuing a tower in Moscow… even when he was running for President.
Often organised crime groups pay for the Trump branding to add legitimacy to flagrant criminal operations. Several Trump Tower projects have been embroiled in money laundering and corruption scandals, such as in Azerbaijan, Brazil, and Panama.
With that in mind, it’s worth noting the property developer behind the Gold Coast Trump Tower project is a businessman who has gone bankrupt twice,
According to the ABC, he is now the sole director of Altus Property Group, which started in 2023 and only lists four other small property projects in regional areas of Queensland and NSW.
It is clear that this company does not have the $1.5 billion to fund this project, and it’s incredibly unlikely that any local bank is going to lend it to them. So what we are seeing here is a twice bankrupt developer that is almost certainly paying the Trump family to go along with this announcement so that he can raise money.
Gold Coast Council, who haven’t even received a development application for the project, will likely enjoy the international media attention, and potentially even a new internationally famous landmark.
But the real story will be who, if anyone, this developer finds to fund all this. Whether they’re from the Middle-East, Asia, or even Australia (Clive or Gina?), it’s unlikely they’ll be investing for anything other than access to Trump.
So how much could Trump make from this?Back of the napkin calculation:
$5 million licensing fee, whether or not the project goes ahead.
270 residences selling at around A$5 million equates to A$1.35 billion. If Trump got 3 % of that (a plausible royalty), that alone could be around A$40 million (US$30 million).
A luxury hotel in a major global destination like Surfers Paradise could reasonably generate A$50 million to A$150 million a year. Typical hotel management fees are 3% of revenue plus incentive fees, so add another A$1 million to A$5 million a year for the next 10 or 20 years (depending on the contract).
All with absolutely no risk or capital input… it certainly pays to be the President.
Thanks. Interesting.

I knew Trump himself had SFA to do with it besides lending his name, and I figured from the first inkling about it that the GCC hadn’t received an actual plan for it because I did a deep dive, but to see it all laid out like this with insinuations of corruption etc… it’s quite eye-opening. When this story came up again this week, I thought it was a definite go-ahead, but it looks like it mightn’t be.
I don’t know much about the Gold Coast Council, but people say the mayor is a Trump supporter, or at least, of MAGA policies.

War is very physically demanding. Even people in their late twenties struggle with the effort and strain required on the battlefield.
If we conscript old geezers, half of them will never make it through basic training: invalided out due to injuries received and physical ailments.
The other half will quickly become incapacitated by the conditions on the front line. Rheumatism, arthritis, hay fever, blurred vision, chest ailments, old football injuries etc. etc. will render them incapable of offensive action.
Wars will be reduced to thousands of ancients huddled in dugouts striving to keep their feet warm and wondering where they left their glasses.

A mulligan is an informal “do-over” or second-chance shot in golf, typically taken on the first tee without penalty, to replay a poor shot. While forbidden by strict rules, it is common in casual play. The term also refers to a “mulligan stew” (leftover stew) or a redraw in trading card games.

A mulligan is an informal “do-over” or second-chance shot in golf, typically taken on the first tee without penalty, to replay a poor shot. While forbidden by strict rules, it is common in casual play. The term also refers to a “mulligan stew” (leftover stew) or a redraw in trading card games.
Spike Mulligan was one of the Groons.

People we met in Tanzania were married there.
Their wedding certificate has a check box:
“Monogamous
Potentially Polygamous
Polygamous

“Potentially Polygamous” is for the first marriage of Maasai or other cultures that allow polygamy.
