haven’t listened to this episode yet but i’m disappointed that the guest was saying this stuff unchallenged, i distinctly remember will and felix talking about how the “legitimate” gov’t of yemen just rules empty patches of desert from Saudi hotel rooms in recent episodes
they’ve been chanting “four more years” every time joe’s been interrupted by this stuff for a while now. really gives off nuremburg rally vibes

[Lead Scientist Gary Yang] soon ran into trouble. He said he couldn’t persuade any U.S. investors to come aboard.
“I talked to almost all major investment banks; none of them (wanted to) invest in batteries,” Yang said in an interview, adding that the banks wanted a return on their investments faster than the batteries would turn a profit.
Yang acknowledges that he wanted his U.S. engineers to work in China. But he says it was because he thought Rongke Power could help teach them critical skills.
He said he wanted to manufacture the entire battery in the U.S., but that the U.S. does not have the supply chain he required. He said China is more advanced when it comes to manufacturing and engineering utility-scale batteries.
“In this field — manufacturing, engineering — China is ahead of the U.S.,” Yang said. “Many wouldn’t believe [it].”
could this be basically intended for domestic iraqi consumption? like the iraqi gov’t asks not really expecting america to do it but just saying it so the people don’t think of them as complete quislings?
mainstream media’s complete unwillingness to report on the shit going on in texas really is proof that it is functionally state media in all but name

i saw someone posting nazi shit on an /r/eu4 thread or something like that a few years ago. checked their profile and they were a frequent poster on bestiality hentai subs. called them out on it and they deleted their post lol

kicking an israeli with surgical precision in the left nut and the left nut only
“park ranger” is a broad title within the NPS. when i worked for them I got a badge and was told in a beginning-of-season meeting that “we’re all rangers” even though i was in the science side of things and barely ever interacted with the public (we were supposed to wear the badge at work but i never did and neither did my coworkers). interpretive rangers are generally cool, they’re the people who work at the visitor center, lead hikes, do talks about astronomy or wildlife, etc. they’re usually either young people straight out of college or retirees volunteering. cop rangers can be real assholes individually but they don’t kill people as often city cops, they do have a better “mission” and often assist in search and rescues and things like that. still they are law enforcement officers legally and i tried to avoid them and distrusted them for that reason, didn’t want to get busted for smoking dope lol.
apparently nikki haley cheated on her husband while he was in the military

lumberjacks and wildland firefighters also call big trees hogs. i spent a whole summer laughing about that when i found out
the pilot forgot to buy the yearly subscription for that specific panel. rookie mistake
biden does have a bad temper but i think it’s mostly that the party thinks the optics of “changing horse midstream” would be bad, it would be like admitting that everyone who was calling him too old/demented was right all along. they also probably think there’s no one waiting in the wings who would have significantly better odds, at least not good enough to risk getting rid of joe.
