The Hillary Clinton stuff was stolen wholesale from Pizzagate, which was a previously-existing brand of stupid. QAnon, in my opinion, started was a way to explain that Trump, in the face of all evidence, wasn't actually a fat lazy moron.

Yeah at its inception, it was "Trump doesn't actually have a congealed mass of Cup Noodles in his head, he only sounds like that because he is speaking to you, his loyal followers, in code because of the DEEP STATE."

Then one too many people said "haha how could this get any dumber" and the universe was like HOLD MY EVERCLEAR FELLAS, WATCH THIS

If there is one nation you can believe when they say "oh no, this is just our regular people-snatching van, we've always got one there" it's North Korea.

The forecast calls for a trio of 100 degree days coming up. We haven't had real rain but maybe one or two days this entire past month and a half. This is one of the worst summers we've ever had. You've got to go back to 1980 to find something nearly as miserable in NOLA. I want to live somewhere cold.

Sup 30 degree latitude buddy. I grew up in the NOLA area and live in Houston now.



It has been like this constantly since mid June. It last rained on July 8th. I keep swearing to anyone that will listen that it was just NOT. THIS. HOT. when I was a kid in the 90s.

Gotta check the cornfields. Fighter planes love corn, and if left unsupervised have been known to land themselves and have a little snack

Lt. Col. Asa Bird Gardiner received his medal by writing a letter to the War Department, asking for one as a souvenir.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asa_Bird_Gardiner posted:

He received the Medal of Honor for his service in the American Civil War in 1872 but it was rescinded in 1917 when supporting documentation was not found. As a Judge Advocate in the United States Army, he prosecuted the case of Johnson Chesnut Whittaker, a black cadet at West Point.

He was elected New York County District Attorney in 1897, but was put on trial for corruption, and despite acquittal, was removed from office by Theodore Roosevelt in 1900. He refused to prosecute the corrupt Tammany Hall bosses of New York City, proclaiming "The hell with reform!" (or "Reform be damned!").[2]

:wow:

No genocide or banana companies involved, so it's probably still one of the most honest MoH awarded 1870-1917

The LLBD episode on nuke accidents is a good one. It's weirdly reassuring how loving janky early nukes and the associated systems were and yet we still survived more than a few very close calls. Reminder that we mostly only know about American gently caress-ups, who knows what the hell the Soviets managed to do.
