    A big clue that he’s a moron is that he agreed to an interview. You just have to know that skilled interviewers like they have on 60 Minutes are going to be able to get a few sound bites which aren’t going to make your client look good.

    This British winemaker is illogically smug about climate change’s positive impact on British winemaking while discounting that it could ever then ruin it

    A couple had a blog about seller issues at eBay. The CEO sent messages to those beneath him to take them out. People employed by eBay then basically conducted a terror campaign against the couple. Like death threats and funeral flowers and shit like that. Pretty wild story.

    I don't remember that being the case. They went from talking about what they did on their site straight to them getting bombarded from like 2:00 to 3:00. Maybe they said it later in the piece.

    OK, for starters, he outlawed the production of gas powered vehicles as of 2035, and shortly there after asked people not to charge their electric cars because they were taxing the grid. True story really hard to make this stuff up.

    not allowing controlled burns in order to keep the seasonal wildfires at bay has been extremely detrimental and shortsighted.

    The water situation is terrible. It's a man-made drought and little to nothing is being done to correct it.

    Homelessness is rampant and out of control, and he has failed to curtail that at every point.

    that's just a few things ...

    Just to be clear: are you blaming the Colorado River on Newsom?

    The charging your car thing was during a heat wave. We’re also 12 years out from that coming into being…

    Homelessness is rampant in big cities. What’s your suggestion? Any time someone tries to reasonably address it any sort of manner, a bunch of dipshits claim that everyone will just quit their jobs and become homeless and live off the state.

    Colorado river? No need to be obtuse here. I'm talking about water storage from snow melt, and the fact that it has not been addressed by Newsom or any of his predecessors.

    Taxing the grid is taxing the grid whether there's a heat wave or not. It will invariably come up again.

    You may notice that I did not blame him for high-speed rail although he did allow it to continue in a limited fashion. This was not his battle ...

    I don’t live there anymore (wasn’t left enough for me, moved to Oregon) but your opener about the electric car mandate told me all I need to know about your opinion. I’m certainly not a huge fan of Newsom but you are clearly just parroting right wing taking points. I was surprised seeing that here on TMB, as the great cleansing happened YEARS ago. Guess you got missed. Glad we have the individual ignore option though.

    I watched that. They started off the interview with Lewis basically saying how ridiculous the concept of crypto is. And I don't think he's necessarily wrong about FTX. Crypto is that hostile of a market. The binance guy had every right to be skeptical. He obviously knew something was up. Fwiw they had suffer the same obvious scrutiny that FTX got. And it became obvious the binance owner was hiding money as well. But if that didn't happen no one would know what SBF was doing for a while.

    Absolutely gripping piece currently on 60 Minutes right now regarding Havana Syndrome, which appears to be a targeted impulse of radio frequencies. Several cases in America involving those in intelligence focused on Russia. Account of a speeding driver in Florida who turned out to be mostly a Russian spy. Technical background and so on. At one point, he switched careers to become a chef in NYC and DC, while even appearing on a morning show. Wild stuff.

    Not to name-drop or anything like that, but I've mentioned it before here. Back when I worked at Trump International West Palm Beach before Trump announced his run, there was a Russian guy working in the clubhouse on the food side of things. Alexander/Aleksandr. Interacted with Trump, members, etc. Perhaps or probably nothing, but it's a bit weird looking back on my time there.

    I'm confident that our intelligence community will treat this like a real and serious matter instead of a nothingburger when Russia develops and uses this technology on a grand(er) scale.
