how did they prove the condoms belonged to different people?

did they dna-test them? :D

probable cause: sewer full of condoms

anyway, yes, this isn't necessarily a freefall--it can be a trip down the sewer

why not?

a lot of adventures start like that

ANYWAY

get used to the vertigo is what i'm saying

there's no avoiding it

So we dropped the "mother of all bombs" on Afghanistan today.

It was non-nuclear though, so... Was it ice-nine?

i felt a disturbance in the force!

From The Washington Post:

Quote:

A spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan did not respond to a query regarding the bomb's effects on its intended target, an Islamic State tunnel complex in Nangahar province.

Shocking...

right, they reserved the actual bunker buster

this was just for show

It says "MOAB" on the side.

Life has become a Kurt Vonnegut novel, to be sure.

so 22,000lbs of explosives for 36 dead?

that's like, what, 611lbs PER PERSON

probably about 4 times their weight?

lol

humans!

Am I the only one now getting a little bit nervous about this whole North Korea thing?

who's nervous?

just remove your mask and sing!

I'm nervous about it all.

Although I will say that regime change in Syria, Iran and North Korea (and possibly Russia) sounds great on paper.

Just not sure regime change is worth WWIII and the millions and millions of lives that will be lost.

Plus, the good guys might lose.

I try not to think about it.

Trimp issues congratulations to Erdegon on the vote for dictatorial power. I wonder if he'll (illegally) extradite that preacher that Erdo wants?

"In fact, a main piece of evidence that is cited in the document point to an attack that was executed by individuals on the ground, not from an aircraft, on the morning of 4 April.

"This conclusion is based on an assumption made by the White House when it cited the source of the sarin release and the photographs of that source. My own assessment is that the source was very likely tampered with or staged, so no serious conclusion could be made from the photographs cited by the White House."

"The image Postol refers to is that of a crater containing a shell inside, which is said to have contained the sarin gas.

"His analysis of the shell suggests that it could not have been dropped from an airplane as the damage of the casing is inconsistent from an aerial explosion. Instead, Postol said it was more likely that an explosive charge was laid upon the shell containing sarin, before being detonated."

I reject this "Trump hasn't accomplished anything in his first 100 days" narrative, for the simple fact that things aren't really the same as they were 101 days ago.

If Trump is really so useless, then resistance is a waste of time, no?
