Rare YouTube randomly-recommended-video W.

TIL, out of the 87 currently-living people confirmed to be 7' 3" and taller, 49 (56%!) currently play or have played pro basketball.

However, you can be, for all practical purposes, too tall to play.

This partially sums up why I think destabilization efforts in Venezuela will be a cluster ****. I would add:

* Libya, Iraq are examples of bad outcomes

* Unite South America against US

* Potential military failures (eg Operation Eagle Claw)

* Rally around the flag effect in Venezuela
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

This AI generated picture of Trump seems to draw pretty directly from Warhammer 40k imagery. For those who don't know, 40k is about a grimdark fascist dystopian future where women are nothing more than breeding stock.

40k is supposed to be a parody, but they're taking like a "how to" manual.

I double dog dare a WH reporter to call her "Nazi Barbie" to her face, in the name of the frank and honest dialogue they espouse.
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?

LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

You know all the AI companies will end up tweaking all their algorithms to do this for Trump and everyone in his cabinet to ensure he doesn't punish them with the FTC or DoJ.

It's basically inevitable that AI will become a DPRK News Broadcast.

By my count there will only be one (1) trans character on all of the major networks and streaming services as of January 2026.
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...

My latest: if there's anything incriminating in the Epstein files, those will never see the light of day. And if they do, Trump will inevitably skate again.

Wow... They're so incompetent.

Doesn't matter when Trump figures out he can have people drug out behind a 7-11 and shot without consequence, but still funny in the now.

SPVs are the new CDOs.

The collapse is going to be epic. Only upside is people in the US might actually be ready to consider desperate measures to be free of the GOP, which will hang onto power by ant means available.

Trump would only do this if:

a. He thinks he has it blocked in the Senate

b. He thinks he can withhold everything as part of an "ongoing investigation"

c. They're already altered / redacted the contents of the evidence enough to hide anything REALLY incriminating

Look, these people voted for Trump to brutalize people, and in particular me, my kid, and my family. They got what they wanted. Big FAFO energy.

I feel the same amount of sympathy for a factory owner regretting voting for Hitler after the 8th Air Force flattened his factory.

My suspicion is that the plan is to use a new investigation into Epstein as a pretext for not being able to release the Epstein Files, as it is DOJ policy not to release the evidence in an ongoing investigation.
