has society evolved enough to be accepting of the concept of a guy going on a walk with another little guy on a leash, or is it still the Dark Ages

dropped on a friday night, AND with a paywall? yeah no thanks you cuckolded sex pest
So now that we're here, you have to know more about what happened with Mark Sanford in 2020 to understand what happened with Olivia and Bobby in 2024. And you have to know more about Bobby's "poetry" to understand why he and Olivia plotted to destroy me. This post is for paid subscribers Subscribe Already a paid subscriber? Sign in

bamboo — part 2 — is HERE

www.telos.news/p/part-2-she...
Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. But Olivia has reignited a campaign of misinformation about what really happened, and Bobby, who has denied everything, is one of the most consequential policymakers in America.

honestly had been put off by Shogun b/c I didn’t expect it to be so stupid and nonsensical based on all the award nominations it got. But I found i can enjoy it plenty if i simply set my expectations to “Ghost of Tsushima”-level

tangent: maybe this makes me an asshole/poor networker, but I don’t think it’s commendable to send a supportive DM to someone who’s only an acquaintance, not after you hear they done a Unabomber on your profession
highlighted excerpt: When news broke last September about Olivia Nuzzi's alleged relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., my first instinct-within minutes, actually-was sympathy. I sent her a DM: "You'll get through this." She responded with a heart.

It’s dangerous to have someone this incompetent working as a news editor
The reporter then went into the version history of the Google document. Earlier that day, Le Coz was working on the document when suddenly several blocks of text were added over the course of four minutes. In that document version was "language resembling an AI chatbot prompt, which was quickly replaced with paragraphs of unexplained text that reflected the prompt-like instructions," wrote the reporter in the document sent to the board. This included "confusing statements and numerous outright fabrications which were not present in my original draft."

Learning a lot about the dangers of chick brooding

www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/s/0...
r/frugal thread traded my space heater for a chick brooding lamp and am saving 75% on electricity and feeling even warmer (plus my little dog loves it) I am living in an RV where insulation is minimal so | really rely on the "heat the person not the house" principle. Last winter I used a 1,000 watt electric space heater to keep me and my little doggy warm until freezing temperatures hit, but I wanted to see if I could slim down even more on the electric bill without sacrificing any comfort. This whole past week it has been between 40-50f (4.5-10c) so l've been able to give my chick brooding lamp a proper test. I'm actually finding that (on top of being 4x more efficient per hour), it is also better at heating me (and my usually-cold little dog) than the electric space heater was. About 36" below the lamp gets to 85(29.5) degrees, and the indoor air temp gets to about 10 (4.5) degrees warmer than outside if I keep in on for a couple of hours. I think if I ran it all day it could handle another 10 degrees colder no problem. I spent just $21 on the setup: $10 on the 10" Aluminum clamp light with a 300w maximum wattage ceramic base, and $11 on the 250w Red cucumbermelancholy • 17h Be very careful using this. Lots of chicken coops and barns have burned down due to the lamps falling on flammable surfaces. Make sure it's well secure and away from flammable materials. No_Confidence3571 • 16h I am this person. Burned down my entire house brooding ducks. I'm telling you it don't have to completely touch. Not in a million billion years will I ever do this. Op this is a really really bad idea and one that causes way more fires than anything else. I also know someone else this happened to. It's so common everyone knows someone and sometimes multiple people. I'm literally begging you. Not in a self righteous way but I promise it's not worth it

she planned this in advance for at least 2 days and she still couldn’t figure out how NOT to bring along extra of the same zip ties that her fake attackers used on her
Interviews of Co-Conspirator 1 and Greene on the Night of the Incident 9. Before Greene was transported from the Nature Reserve to Hospital-1, on July 23, 2025, Egg Harbor Township officers interviewed both Co-Conspirator 1 and Greene. Co-Conspirator 1 told the police officers that she and Greene had driven to the Nature Reserve together that night, in Greene's Maserati sport utility vehicle. 10. When law enforcement officers asked Co-Conspirator 1 and Greene to provide them with the keys to the Maserati, Co-Conspirator 1 appeared to become agitated. Co-Conspirator 1 asked the officers repeatedly why they needed the keys and whether they were going to search the Maserati. Co-Conspirator 1 told the police that she didn't think that the search of the Maserati was necessary and that it didn't make any sense to her. 11. One of the officers tried to explain to Co-Conspirator 1 and Greene why the search of Greene's Maserati might be necessary. Greene then consented to the search of her Maserati by the officers and signed a written form consenting to the search. 12. The Officers searched the Maserati and found two black zip ties that were similar to the black zip ties that were used to restrain Greene. The officers also found a roll of Pro Essential duct tape. 13. In an attempt to gather additional information about the men who, allegedly, had assaulted and bound Greene at the Nature Reserve, law enforcement officers from Egg Harbor Township interviewed Greene at Hospital-1. Co-Conspirator 1 was not present at this interview.
