Golf Cooperation Council feat. Séamus Malekafzali
We’ve got some serious issues: Iran is too real of a country to ignore, and Saudi Arabia is becoming a real country in that it suddenly can’t find $300m to fund the LIV Golf tournament in Louisiana. Because something happened regarding the thing that it uses to make all its money from? We also dig into Israel’s occupation of Lebanon as “means of thwarting a peace deal” and as default function in a state run by people who need a war happening to stay out of prison. But don’t worry, we keep it really optimistic.

…So basically, Israel has a signed affidavit from home that says they’ve stopped beating their wife, and they’re now trying to present that to the armed men occupying their workplace in order to get them to stand down. And hoping no one will pay attention to their wife’s black eye.
It is unsettling to hear November say words such as “Anaheim”…what’s next? Did she also used to go to punk shows at chain reaction????
Since England is playing Mexico in the next round (no MAGA) I must with great reluctance join the hosts in their least admirable quality (rooting for our boys). Score some facking goals Harry Kane you muppet.
two Formula 1 grand prix in the gulf have already been cancelled and it seems increasingly likely that 3 more will be too lol. McLaren is owned by the Bahrain and Abu Dhabi, Aston Martin is extremely sponsored by Aramco ... this sport is going to be devastated lol
Recreating IndyCar from first principles (two or fewer engine suppliers, practically uniform chassis). So exciting.
"Everybody is just improvising" means what is happening right now is all of the parties involved are basically playing jazz together and I personally believe this is beautiful

I love the episodes with Séamus. Always lifts ups the tension you feel lately and assures you're not insane for thinking this is not sustainable.

Any form of freedom of the Israeli people is incompatible with global security.
The always improvising is how my workplace feels lately, weird that it’s everything everywhere and nobody has a plan

Ed Zitron was relating the parable of Masayoshi's Goose to Adam Conover and Brennan Lee Mulligan The scale of the money involved, and poverty of the metaphor, had them at a loss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGqCAmXTJBI
The other option, aside from SpaceX sponsoring the golf tournament, would be Skydance. (SpaceX is the more reputable face of X the everything app. Ooh: have Starlink sponsor it!)
Does Bari Weiss play golf? Bari Weiss looks like a woman golfer (derogatory).

we could try to get the libs to start calling trump "Agolf Hitler"
In totally unrelated news to November's comments, Japan has 8.6 tons of plutonium on its soil, and 4x as much held abroad. I'm sure it's fine
Ahhh I’m sure it’s fine, there’s so many different uses for that stuff! …..
My favorite correspondent is back
"there aren't shady business guys in dubai" uhhhh you sure about that? Pretty sure that's like 80% of the population lol
yeah tbh what i intended to say was "there aren't shady business guys [in Iran] like there are in Dubai"
oh this new world is really fucking struggling to be born
I'm already writing the monsterfucker book about the rough beast slouching towards Bethlehem.
Saudi Arabia going to the Evolution guys like “hey you know how we massively invested in you so you could outcompete every regional FGC tournament series and replace it with an Evo? Yeaaaaaaah about that…”
And here I was thinking a post about SNK being the next LIV would fall on deaf ears.
While probably a sign a dark times ahead, money suddenly becoming very real for Saudi Arabia has been pretty funny.
first!
