Quote Of The Day

From that Muzzie asshole:

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday his country “will never surrender” as President Trump urged him to end reciprocal air strikes with Israel. 

“It isn’t wise to tell the Iranian nation to surrender,” Khamenei posted on X. “What should the Iranian nation surrender to? We will never surrender in response to the attacks of anyone. This is the logic of the Iranian nation. This is the spirit of the Iranian nation.”

Two words (I think):  Germany 1945.

Challenge accepted.

Quote Of The Day

Talking about this burning issue:

“If lithium-ion batteries weren’t powering vehicles that are supposed to save the planet from climate change, they would not be in such widespread use. Perhaps we can find another power source to save the planet that isn’t so hard to put out if it burns, doesn’t let off toxic gases when it’s on fire, and can be manufactured in the United States.”

I think he’s talking about the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine… and not something powered by faerie-dust and unicorn flatulence.

Quote Of The Day

In response to this lament:

“These kids never learned the proper way to be a barfly,” said an L.A. bartender, quoted in “Gen Z Doesn’t Want to Start a Bar Tab/To the chagrin of bartenders, many 20-something bargoers prefer to close out and pay after every single drink.”

That’s not the quote.  This is:

As with everything else in the New York Times though, I am going to default to “none of these discussions actually happened” and the “author” just made everything up.

The man’s almost as cynical as I am.

Sic transit mendax.

Quote Of The Day

From Insty:

“In the past, there were periodic scandals about a journalist who was caught fabricating or massively distorting news: Janet Cooke, Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair, Dan Rather, Katie Couric, Brian Williams. But the past four years have exposed virtually the entire industry reporting on the Beltway as repeated — and quite shameless — fabulists.”

Quote Of The Day

From some Brit:

“I saw Starmer in the White House telling Trump we’ve had [freedom of expression] in the UK for a very long time, and I thought, ‘Yeah, right.’ We can see what’s really going on.”

Read this for an explanation of the above.  Then be grateful you don’t live there.  (To my several Brit Readers:  I’m sorry, folks.)
