The fact that they seem to really have expected a Biden "pardon" is absolutely hilarious to me.

A regime like Putin's is stable until it suddenly is not. Russia has a lot of dark times ahead of it.

Someone needs to start a cat infestation. My garage used to be like this. Then I opened a window, so that the neighborhood cats could enter.

No mice after just a couple of months.

I am not even joking, the situation in this trench seems serious and cats are brutal hunters.

F you, Uber.

They tried to bypass taxi laws in our main city and the municipality just kicked them out. Never thought I would say it, but here am I:

Good job, government. Well done.

True and accurate.

I just want to add that we need to rein in capitalist greed, reduce car reliance, mitigate climate change, stand with our LGBTQ friends, and allow for fair distribution of wealth, so that the 1% don't hoard all resources built in the economy.

What is not clear?

For history:

Revolutions by Mike Duncan. You can start with the Haitian and the Mexican revolutions. Then just listen to whichever season you want.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.

The History of Rome by Mike Duncan.

These are absolutely amazing.

Honorable mentions for Behind the Bastards and Lions Lead by Donkeys, if you like some banter along with the story telling.

Edit: someone in here reminded me about Your Undivided Attention. It is, literally and without irony, the most important podcast you could ever listen.

This cannot be said enough times: Russia is a terrorist state. Nothing excuses Russia's war of agression. Failure to help Ukraine amounts to complicity in genocide.

IQ scores, in the way they are currently used, are absolutely useless and cannot tell you who is smart and who is not. They tell you who is good at taking tests.

I highly recommend the podcast series "My Year in Mensa" - it is a nice little story showing that high IQ probably does not account for much.

To your question - the answer is humility. Be humble and understanding. Everyone has something to offer.
