Good thread on how the “let the dog choose” video is AI. I hated it for other reasons. It just seemed unlikely you’d have a big room of people. Also, dogs are awesome, but a mastiff choosing someone might not know they have a studio flat they are away from for 15 hours a day, for example.
Yeah, I mean, I'm critical of any video nowadays that is trying to elicit an emotional response, especially when it's asking for subs at the end. It's weird that all the people seem to end up with the dog they want. And shelters are overflowing, where are the rooms full of people wanting to adopt?

Please more of this clarification every time we talk about this. The first strike was murder. All the strikes are murder. The second strike was extra-mean murder, but shouldn’t distract from the fact that it’s all just murder.
Based on the facts recounted by the Senator, the two do sound “shipwrecked” for LOAC purposes.
But they were never lawful targets in the first place even if LOAC applied.
And LOAC doesn’t apply because there is no armed conflict.
Term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder.

There's a subset of GOPer that seems to have entered politics almost entirely for the potential to be adjacent to killing people and well imo that sort of person probably shouldn't be in office
WELKER: Is there any hard evidence showing this particular boat was headed to the US?
TOM COTTON: That didn't come up in my briefing

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.
