Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Well, it does if our entire justice system is based around the concept of free will.

I want to call him a useful idiot but I'm afraid that will defame all idiots.

It wasn't really a failure of the intelligence community it was a failure of the Bush administration. Bush couldn't believe his "friends" in Saudi Arabia would do anything to harm his administration, after all his family had had a long and profitable association with them for years.

Plus, at the time the Bush administration was up to its neck in scandals (anyone remember the Enron Scandal?). Bush's popularity had cratered and it was looking increasingly like he would loose the midterms and Presidential elections.

What's more likely: a rather straight forward plot by a bunch of fanatical fundamentalist religious nut jobs bent on destroying the "godless American devils" supported by their equally fanatical fundamentalist nation state or an incredibly complicated plot by a third party? See, this is why Occam's Razor exists.

Holy fuck, looks like it's just about to BLEVE!!

 

It’s the Ukrainians’ turn to bomb Russian positions into rubble.

Hundreds of Russian troops are surrounded in a chemical plant in Vovchansk, the main battleground in Russia’s northern offensive.

At least 30 of the Russians surrendered over the weekend. The others have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. And now the Ukrainian air force has taken aim at them—with precision glide bombs.

 

Kyiv’s forces are due to receive the aircraft within weeks, but analysts say they are unlikely to be a game-changer.

I love your comment: "The second best time to plant a tree is today". Not sure if it's a quote you've reused but, from here on in, I'm using it.

I much prefer Lemmy, when RIF shut down I migrated and never looked back. Lemmy isn't as crowded as Reddit became and reminds me of how Reddit used to look and feel.

I also signed up to Mastodon and between the two (Lemmy and Mastodon) get all the information and entertainment I ever got from Reddit without all the dickheads that now populate Reddit.

Slava Ukraini!

 

Russian military bloggers said Ukrainian forces had managed to breach through defensive lines in places south of Orikhiv, a town around 6 miles north of Roboytne.

It is a sign Kyiv has decided to commit thousands of well-trained troops, previously held back in anticipation for a breakthrough, to the assault.

Ya know what? I'm really enjoying Lemmy. The Fediverse is (at present) smaller than Reddit but feels welcoming and at the same time much more "exclusive" (?). It's just that you have to make the effort to join the Fediverse.. ..and I'm not going back. I'm getting as much out of Lemmy as I was getting from RIF but it's somehow much more fun. Cya Reddit it was fun but it's over.
