“Once the [tactical units] get the clearance to go into that residence, we might have an update on him,” Hernandez said.

Sounds like they don't think he left the burning house with the collapsed roof. If that's the case, there's a good chance that he's dead.

Dan and Jordan continue their travel through the Dune films, this time taking in the much heraleded 2021 Denis Villeneuve adaptation. Does the new cast stack up? Is the story more sensibly conveyed? Is there a single distracting extra vacuuming in the background of this one?

Don't be silly. They believe that the president would only have total immunity until they were impeached by Congress. So Biden would also have to execute anyone in Congress that would vote for impeachment. After that, he should be fine. Totally normal democracy in action.

It looks like this would apply to any item used to conceal one's identity. So, it's possible that all of those things could be included.

Alex Jones was ordered to pay Erica Lafferty $76 million, but she needs a GoFundMe to pay her bills for cancer treatment.

Exactly. So I think it would have been more helpful to just jump to the explanation. Just say "But protests are meant to be disruptive because that is how they draw attention to the issue being protested." There is no need to question the knowledge of the commenter. Just present the information that you think they don't have. Even if the person you're replying to isn't interested, the info will be there for others and may lead to more conversation.

Those behind this campaign simply cannot accept that a first-generation Latino American from humble beginnings could rise to be a U.S. Senator and serve with honor and distinction. Even worse, they see me as an obstacle in the way of their broader political goals

I get that you have to pretend that you're innocent, but this is the same race-baiting conspiracy bullshit that comes out of the right-wing wackos. Fuck this guy.

He owns his own business and is doing this by choice. They don't go into numbers, but the fact that the article is titled "The Affluent Homeless" makes me think he's not struggling. The guy is atypical, but the people saying he's a socialist or he's being crushed by capitalism are reading their own politics into this.

I think the article is fine. It's just the reality that makes no sense. A bunch of social media celebrities agreed to join an esports league where the celebrities would manage the teams. People could buy a pass for each celebrity that would let them vote on team decisions and give them other benefits. The company selling the passes used blockchain authentication for them. They were also, separately, involved in NFTs. People saw blockchain and NFT and thought "wait a minute, the passes are NFTs? Aren't NFTs a big scam? These passes are a scam!" Then the celebrities saw the outrage and said "What?! No one told me there would be crypto-blockchain-NFTs!" They then dropped out of the league and it was indefinitely postponed. Unless by "actual problem" you meant something that was meaningful in anyway to anyone not directly involved in this nonsense. In that case, no, there was none of that.

"Quality of Life" was a category on the survey, although it was only one of ten. Additionally, they were mostly asking the people who were benefitting the most from their society:

a survey of over 17,000 people from 36 countries – including business leaders, middle-class or higher college-educated individuals and “nationally representative” citizens of each country

So I imagine there were a lot of folks who disagreed with the final rankings, but their opinions were mostly considered irrelevant.

It's also possible that the vessel is at or near the surface

NPR has someone on that had done the trip and said there are multiple systems in place to surface the sub in an emergency, including some that happen automatically. So there's a very good chance that they're at the surface, but still very hard to find because it's a 20-ft sub in a huge search area. And they're still running out of air because the hatch must be opened from the outside.
