@misslovelymess Probably for the same reason that Halloween is my favorite holiday -- it's less commercialized. All you need is some costumes for the kids, some candy for trick-or-treaters and maybe a themed decoration or two.

And you're not bombarded with the same tired old novelty tunes year after year.

@Bix India traditionally relies on Russia for military equipment, so it's not a huge surprise.

@gshevlin Surely, the Air Force has an old Cessna they can lend him.

@EvilBunny I hate that they're gaining experience from the war in Ukraine.

Cory Doctrow describes the process of Internet platform decay "ensh*tification" as:

"Here is how platforms die: [1] first, they are good to their users; [2] then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; [3] finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. [4] Then, they die."

At what stage is the Google search engine?

@h8cloz We've seen this before.

@carmen Glenn Youngkin, natch.

@dauphin87 Net worth is only $20.6 Billion. I don't know how he manages.

@gshevlin Didn't even mention the most notorious tax haven, Nevis -- where Clarence Thomas's biggest benefactor, Billionaire Harlan Crow, bought a second citizenship.

@Kinnison
I wonder why they blurred his face in his picture. Why bother?

Much of that area is national park. I hope they're not putting up plaques to neo-Nazis on public land!

@LiberalLibrarian You're right. I was thinking Pennsylvania. Mea culpa.

@LiberalLibrarian New Jersey is in play and you get a lot of people who live across the river at MSG.
