I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

It's not quite that bad. Chances are that the Biden administration finds creative legal ways to get around the dumb poo poo, like the "loan" of AZ/Oxford doses to Mexico/Canada. Right now, every dose of J&J/Moderna/Pfizer gets into an arm or is earmarked for an arm somewhere in the United States. Nothing's wasted except for the botched Johnsons (because who wants a botched Johnson?).

US demand for vaccines is still near-infinite for another few months, so nothing is gathering dust on shelves for very long. By the time we run out of arms, the Biden folks will figure out if the nonsense the Trump administration agreed to was due to companies' legal concerns, classic greed, or both and act accordingly to fix the problem and get the doses to the rest of the world. The Vanity Fair article heavily implies that the DoD folks took the route of "We don't have time for this legal poo poo, we needs these contracts loving done or other countries get these first doses" and there's now time for legal wrangling to unwind that.

Wow. Yeah from the Nytimes article the takeaway did seem to be that this generated a lot of money so it should be done on a wider scale. They're getting into "Oral Roberts demanding tithes or God is calling him home" territory.

Anybody think Trump has had a room at Mar-A-Lago remodeled to look like the Oval Office so he can play pretend?

There's also some comedy that he's basically jettisonned all Trump branding and sticks only with "45" because his name is so toxic and "45" implies that he didn't lose.

This is probably easy to fix. Fedgov can unilaterally modify its contracts unless the people writing those made some extremely specific changes in what is copy/pasted boilerplate. When presented with the changes, contractors can agree or walk away from the revised contract with no penalty.

There's so much to digest there.

First, I'd guess the main reason he's been so quiet is that it gave him time to get four years' worth of bronzing, chin liposuction, and a Devil-grade facelift done.

Second, the subtle jab at Papa Fred by putting his picture behind everyone else's.

Third, I'd bet cash money the paperclipped papers under the paper he's clearly not reading is part of his daily intelligence briefing.

In other Miller news, apparently he's trying to setup a Alt-Right answer to the ACLU, called America First Legal.

I don't think Stephen Miller realizes the only reason he got away with what he did was Barr/Trump's love of ignoring and outright going around the law and human rights.

Remember when there was an Arizona congressman who did something like this and they followed the van taping it, he was saying he could "see the fear in the kids eyes" and then the van let the kids out at a local school.

It sounds like the same system as the Meadowlands in Jersey - feral cats hang around the bowels of the stadium (300 at the Meadowlands) to hunt mice in exchange for not getting harassed by the staff. The stressed cat might've been one of them, or if that was truly a collar, a housecat that got loose.

quote:

One might think that this is a fanciful vision of the future of warfare conducted remotely by networked military forces. But in fact it’s happening right now, albeit virtually, in the world of massively multiplayer online role-playing games—specifically, in the universe of EVE Online. For some time now there has been interest from the defense sector in looking at video games as a source of innovation. Certainly, as anyone knows who has spent much time both playing modern computer games and using military hardware, the defense world could learn a lot from the gaming world.
