I think there's a point where that stuff is a distinction without a difference, whether something is a sub-organization of an existing thing or it's own separate thing. The fact that there are 18 is pointless by itself. Just have one! But it is what it is, you can't just reorganize and consolidate and move things around constantly because then no work can get done.

Президент Путин, меня зовут Бобби Джим. Мне 5 лет. Я живу в Сиэтле. Мое правительство вынуждает меня смотреть "Джейк Пол против Майк Тайсон боксирует, чтобы продемонстрировать лояльность режиму. Моя страна стремится к свободе. Пожалуйста, пришлите многоцелевой истребитель-невидимку Sukhoi Su-57 с ядерным вооружением. 🇷🇺 🙏 😢 🙏 🇷🇺 🙯🚀🙯

"head up these 18 intelligence agencies" is such a certificed American Empire™ beyond-parody phrase.

"When I was sworn in for the third time, I was speaking ex cathedra"

I was just trying to mirror what Japan did in response to US provocations.

Well, Trump would run again. Then he'd either get blocked from ballots, they would sue, and the supreme court would say he's allowed to. Or he would win the election, someone would bring a case arguing that it's unconstitutional for him to take office, and the supreme court would disagree.

And the way those lawsuits often work is the person gets to keep doing the thing of questionable legality. So he could probably still get on ballots and run, even if there's a lawsuit.

and willing my body to science instead.

A body donated to science - but used to test bombs

chatgpt is trained on all the blogspam.

unless he starts WWIII and it would hurt the sense of unity to not let Trump run again.

:fdr-shining:

Trump will start WWIII. And since war is so presidential, and really that would not be the time to change presidents, so Democrats and Republicans decide its fine if he runs again.

or just have the Supreme Court reinterpret that part of the constitution.

It's kinda funny because 90% of the traffic is just going to be people connecting to whatever online service with known public IPs. But I guess that tells you what household is using what online service. Maybe which businesses are doing network communication with what other businesses i.e. they have some kind of data integration, etc.

Another interesting thing to know would be how detailed the routing table information different countries and intelligence agencies have. You can easily use a service that can tell you where you are located based on your IP address, but it's usually limited to city, state/province, or country. I wonder if for example, the US has the routing tables for specific Chinese neighborhoods or specific houses or apartments.

I wonder what kind of useful info they actually get from monitoring network cables these days? source and destination IP address?

I like that the photo the AP put on this article is a McDonald's hamburger put through the Soviet Filter™.

CGTN has been pumping out youtube videos of the Peru visit nonstop lol.

Side question: Is Pedro Castillo still in jail?

I think this happens every election right? I remember seeing articles like this.

The Biden administration cannot pick and choose when they comply with our own laws
