That one stood out to me because it was the only one I found that lists the criteria. That said, they only list the criteria and don't explain it at all. I wonder if the right to be arrested for silent prayer by yourself gets high marks?

While the cat thumbnails save me time, I still listen to Alex Christofoou each day. His mimicing others is just as cringe as Scott Adams's.

Today he quotes NYT that Odessa may go to Russia as part of a settlement. He gives sources, and points out the story comes from Ukrainian sources.

I've thought from the beginning that Ukraine deserves to lose Odessa and become a land-locked rump state.

Agreed, but I do enjoy every time SA talks to his friend Dale.

I'm too poorly informed to have an opinion on Ukraine.

Alex Christofoou is Euro-centric. Daily broadcast walking around in Cyprus or Athens, rain or shine; So it hold interest just watching the backgrounds.

Today he related a story about [Z]enelsky going to the front after his election and the Azov Battalion spanked him and made him cry. They were neo-nazis; I think their mostly gone now.

So... The thumbnail wasn't a cat picture so I was obligated to have a listen.

How's it go? He talks about Rosie O'Donnell at 16 minutes, but doesn't mention that Ireland denied her application and she has 30 days to relocate her own self.

edit: Some good stuff. Teslamobiles calling out approaching vandals:

But the comments calls him out on the FBI most wanted statistics.

In-laws have disrupted my morning routine, so I didn't catch a whole lot. Seems crazy Ireland would deny a wealthy person citizenship. Somehow I'm getting the urge to watch A League of Their Own again. I wonder if Rosie thinks women should have a league of their own, or if we can't know what a woman is, and therefore such a category shouldn't exist.

Dan Carlin has a new Common Sense episode, which is notable because he hasn't produced any since 2022. He describes the fundamental problem I'm always mentioning, that we're distracted by who is currently occupying the Executive seat and not the fact that it carries too much power. If power were appropriately constrained, we'd hardly care who lives in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The original intent was that you could take a plowboy out of the field for four years, and it would still work. as you say.

But that hinges on an appropriate separation of powers. And today that hinges on Congress holding the District judges to the Good Behavior clause of Article III of the Constitution.

Full disclosure: i didn't read the comments on the R. O'Donnell story, it's [apparently] a hoax.
