@SamaHoole Please, Sama, please, leave me some small delusions!

[Walter Kirn @walterkirn]

Imagine if basketball games were played inside locked buildings without windows. The field goals and free throws were registered and counted by machines. The running score of the game was projected on the outside of the building. But it wasn't simultaneous with the game. The running score changed for days and even weeks after the contest was over. When at last there was a final score the fans cheered or slumped in despair.

How long would public interest and faith in such a sport last?

Give the finest engineers alive a cow, a blank cheque, and one instruction: build a second one from scratch, the entire working machine, organs and microbes and all.

They will fail.

They can map every cell and still not reproduce the rumen: a warm fermentation reactor running on wild microbes nobody has to sterilise, that seeds itself, repairs itself, and digests the one material on the planet we cannot, turning a thornbush into a fillet.

They cannot match the power supply, which is rain. Or the fuel, which is grass nothing else will eat. Or the production line, which is the animal quietly building the next animal at no cost and asking no one's permission.

It improves the soil it stands on. It carries no patent, no firmware, no subscription. It has been in continuous production since before writing existed and has never once needed an update.

We keep calling it old, which is a peculiar insult to aim at the only food machine that has shipped a billion units and never lost in its category. The nearest competitor is a steel vat of slurry that drinks electricity and reports to a man with a clipboard.

Lightyears ahead, still, and grazing.

@jsolomonReports Duh

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

@DHSgov @SecMullinDHS Then stop sanctuary cities. Period. Don’t engage in this rhetoric unless you back it up. We are all sick of the blather.

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

@VigilantFox Wow. Profound. Athletes are always my intellectual North Star.

@walterkirn This is what the great Republic looks like when it’s truly over. And we are sliding fast.

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

@yesnicksearcy @0xtrinityguy I still don’t know why he bothers trying to talk to these people in the first place.

Republican Senators, for the love of God…
STOP POSTING.
You’ve been in the Senate Majority for 15 months. WE THE PEOPLE gave you everything. We gave you the House and Senate so YOU ALL would unite behind President Trump and tram through the entire America First agenda, confirm every nominee, and crush radical Democrat obstruction.
Instead, because YOU chose John Thune as Senate Leader, everything is stalled, watered down, and sabotaged.
We don’t need more tweets about what “needs to happen.”
You have the power. Use it. Pass the agenda.
Confirm the nominees.
Stop the radicals.
STOP POSTING AND ACT.
The American people are watching.

@SecMullinDHS @ICEgov What about the financing networks? What about Antifa? Stop the juvenile social media stuff until you have something to report that rolls up thousands of these so-called “rioters.”

@SamaHoole @Erieislandlady Maybe there’s a future in keto-tourism.

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

@walterkirn Time to pull federal funding of pretty much everything.

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

Why should we believe anything the Tech Bros say? They brutally censored the Right from 2016 on, at least. Supported Hillary. They bought the election for Biden; suppressed The Laptop. Big supporters of the Climate Hoax. Big supporters of society-controlling universal digital ID’s and digital currency. Openly call Americans “stupid” who believe China is at war with us. Did not do anything about predatory pedophilia in social media or human trafficking. Huge supporters of toxic open borders. Huge supporters of authoritarian Covidian response, with huge censorship and true misinformation support and distribution in this space. So we are supposed to bend the knee to these people. Give them vast power, public resources, and access to price/access distorting water, energy, and land.

@SharylAttkisson Statins = Big Pharma Con genesis. First trillion $ drug. Still secret trial data. Heart attack probability claim is a % of a %. It’s nonsense.

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

@RepClayHiggins Primary them all.

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

@johnrich Pathetic ownership

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

I thought about that, recently watching Steve McQueen in Les Mans. He certainly was good in laconic roles, but the dialogue of the whole movie filled maybe 5 pages. And it was perfect. Modern movies, in non-action scenes, are just full of endless, woke blather that has nothing to do with life.

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

@DHSgov Have you gone after Antifa? Have you cracked the funding network? Have you shut down the NGO’s? Have you charged any lefty billionaires?

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

@nicksortor We need leadership.

[Metalopsguy @Metalopsguy]

@DHSgov How about some tactical acuity? Come from behind with a second force? Contain, then arrest? We played childhood capture-the-flag games with more tactical sophistication than DHS demonstrates.
