So UN leaves to Geneva.

Then the US says, “The UN has abandoned us. We are leaving the UN.”

The US leaves the UN, throwing away an incredible amount of soft power. We fade on the world stage.

Trump is a horrible pathetic moronic excuse for a leader.

Might’ve been the S, but I think the 3 has a bigger screen. I could be wrong. It was a while ago.

I remember when the Tesla Model 3 was pretty new, there was a guy who got pulled over and filmed the interaction. The cop told him he needed to put away the iPad. He kinda chuckled, thinking the cop was joking. But the cop was serious. So he had to explain to the cop that the giant-ass screen was built into the car.

She resembles the cat from Dungeon Crawler Carl, which is an audiobook you should very much listen to. (The book itself is good, but the audiobook is one of the best I’ve ever heard).

I didn’t realize different languages had different meanings for the piece. That’s fascinating.

I still suspect the entire thing was a marketing ploy. That they had no intention of ACTUALLY changing the logo. They just wanted people to push back so they could get in the news. I wouldn’t be surprised if the marketing firm that made the logo also started the backlash.

I suspect the same is true about American Eagle’s Sydney Sweeney ad.

I’ll always remember him for Mario and Luigi being tied up in this image.

Because there need to be reasons to participate in society properly. If it’s “we’re cutting you off from all trade and never restarting it,” there’s no incentive for them to change their behavior. Sanctions always give a reason.

Punishment isn’t a good motivator of human behavior, reinforcement is.

Man, after playing with the Steam Deck I have a hard time imagining any handheld PC that doesn’t have Valve’s phenomenal trackpad. It’s the only way I want to use a mouse cursor on a handheld now. So I definitely won’t “upgrade” to the Xbox-branded thing (even if I have been an “Xbox guy” since forever).

That line is exactly what I always think of when someone mentions Leona Helmsley.
