Vance recalled a recent incident in the White House, where he and the president were discussing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran.

“‘That’s a pretty amazing title if you think about it,’” Vance said he told the president at the time. “But (Trump) looked at me in the Situation Room a few days ago, and he said, `Mr. Vice President, you don’t have to call him the Supreme Leader, but you would if the guy had a nuclear weapon’.”

Vance continued, “Because the leverage that nuclear weapons give you to destabilize the world to destroy our economic interests, to destroy our national security interests… you don’t want the worst people in the world to have a nuclear weapon.”

Having a mugshot doesn’t mean you did anything wrong. This is a major issue.

I’m on her side 100% but the argument could be framed better

Good myths have multiple ramifications

We grew up to appreciate Life of Brian more but you’re right

Omg the Incredible Machine!!! Where can I play it, its been so long!

As someone who realized they were ace after marriage: im sorry. it can be a real challenge.

Yeah that’s not gonna make up for the atrocities

:laughs in old:

Lol we can’t blame Trump exclusively for this. The entirety of the Human Industrial Organism has been working tirelessly for decades. It wasn’t their goal, but when is “apocalyptic food chain collapse” anyone’s goal?

Definitely not his finest moment

Is the space a ways from your normal paths? As long as you leave em be (heh) they’ll usually ignore you

This is the case for almost all wildlife in my experience of nearly 40 years (including a Boy Scout-focused childhood). There’s an energy you can summon through your attitude, body language, tone of voice, expressions, etc that makes you more palatable to animals. It’s “demonstrating you don’t want to hurt them and you won’t surprise them”. I think of it as “Buddha vibes”, as new agey as it sounds. (Im not a Buddhist, but Soto Zen in particular is a lifelong influence for me.) We are vectors of trauma for most animals and they respond accordingly.

I have a wild rabbit I’ve gotten to know over the past few years. She lives in the yard i own, so I make sure my yard is healthy for her. No pesticides, infrequent mowing, etc. Nowadays she lets me get close enough for these kinds of pictures (very little zoom, I was <10’ from her).

Time to watch Lord of War again, its a tradition now when we get into a new conflict. I’ve been unintentionally doing it since it came out…

Nearly every job they cut was like that. The government only doesn’t make money if you’re an idiot businessman looking in - it generates HUGE returns for the population over time. Or, it did.

It always could’ve been better.

Gonna have to be a lot whiter than that for my ass

The more I think about it, the more im convinced the Sun is the only thing worth worshipping.

Reminds me of ponchos from the American Southwest
