  1. And really, this should not be a surprise. There have been rumors of this ever since the attack happened. Really, who would have the biggest interest in such an attack at the time? The dominant narrative that it must have been Russians trying to starve the West of gas really did not make so much sense. Why would the Russian state blow up the assets of its own state company? Simply order that company to turn the taps off. Far simpler, not to mention less expensive. P.S. Just realized what forum this is. Follow-ups should probably go to the general politics thread.
  2. Original Washington Post article: https://wapo.st/40AKnmx
  3. Nothing makes a PNW cold snap perfect like some quality East Coast torching. It is like the cherry atop a sundae.
  4. MLK was widely attacked for being a Communist during his lifetime by those who opposed him. (He wasn't one, but he was attacked for allegedly being one.)
  5. Well, all righty then. I'm sure you would have considered MLK a left-wing terrorist in 1963.
  6. Shamefully, Canada was even worse in regard to the treatment of its Japanese citizens during WWII. Canada simply seized their property without compensation and herded them into concentration camps. At the least the USA let its Japanese citizens liquidate their property into cash before being herded into camps. (Often at fire-sale prices that fell far short of just compensation at fair market value, but still better than outright confiscation.)
  7. Well, there it is. Incontrovertible evidence that parallel universes exist and that there are portals between them. Meanwhile, in this timeline: Islamophobia After 9/11: How a fearmongering fringe movement exploited the terror attacks to gain political power
  8. Israeli Civil and Human Rights Degrade in a Time of War
  9. Well, that was a wild night. 150,000 in BC lost power (I was not one of them). That figure has by now dropped to 130,000.
  10. Wind warning is up here, too. Coastal areas could see gusts to 90 km/h (55 mph).
  11. Obviously, the green areas are badly out of touch with mainstream thought. /sarc
  12. Ask your physician if Viagra™ is right for you.
  13. Current margin is under 1% which puts it in mandatory recount territory per Virginia law (as mentioned in the article).
  14. No white donut hole over @Port Angeles Foothiller. Throw it out!
  15. And seven times as many members showing 850 mb temps of +10°C or better.
