Well, we may or may not suspect that a giant orgy has a pernicious effect on one's psychology like taking steroids and pro wrestling has a pernicious effect on one's body, but I don't think we know that first part for sure.

The grey tribe attributes dysfunction in healthcare to evil CEOs less than any other group in the world, it feels like. It's always complex economic arguments. Evil CEOs only come into the picture with regulatory capture.

On Wikipedia (for what that's worth) the page for HTS says they've made some gestures towards tolerance for Christians and Druze.

Well, it all flows back from western superhero comics. Batman has fought villains who were obsessed with wheels, pennies, hats, sports, aesop's fables, basically everything.

Here is an online comic book about Snooker, titled "Giant Days: Snooker Could Be Better". It is a crossover between a comic about young women attending university called Giant Days and a comic about a man who dresses up like a bat and fights crime. I am fond of it.

Also: 'Cue-Man'-Fu is a brilliant nickname.

Fun fact: Tycoon comes from the Japanese word taikun, and was first used in English by Commodore Perry to describe Lincoln. It's probably the first Japanese loan word in the English language.

I think if you have this belief you're required to write a novel about the historical dragons and what they were like and what happened to them. Or at least have one ghost-written for you, if you're a famous guy like Rogan.

It's a physical boardgame that has digital releases.

I really liked Beau is Afraid, which had a budget of 35 million. And I liked Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Top Gun: Maverick was solid. Joker was a good experience in the theater, although it may not be a work of pure genius.

Huge exaggeration, in my opinion.

"300 Colombian mercenaries killed in Ukraine, out of 500 that went there"
This is according to Russia, btw.
" “We have some records, but what the Russian government informed us—and this requires verification—is that about 500 Colombians participated on the Ukrainian side. Of these, around 100 have returned to Colombia, 100 have deserted, and roughly 300 to 310 have been killed,” Murillo said."

I played a boardgame called Dune: Imperium for the first time recently. It's a worker placement game. And it vastly surpassed my expectations. I could see myself getting obsessed with it and sinking a lot of time into it.

I don't think that's a fair representation of what it says on the wikipedia page.

Remember to buy assets
What assets specifically do you have in mind?

Everyone likes free money, right? Building houses is good, having kids is good, paying less for life saving medications is good, taking power out of large landlords hands is good. But maybe trying to apply emergency price gouging laws to non-emergency situations is not so good. Maybe write a law that you have to lower prices when things are good as quickly as you raised them when they weren't so good. What are Trump's plans?
Are you familiar with the Econ 101 arguments against price controls?

Everyone knows there are no solutions to the crime and disorder issue that don't involve totalitarian levels of paternalism /social control over blacks, outright genocide whether fast or slow or eugenics, none of which are likely to occur.
I do not actually agree that this is true. There are probably lots of reasonable knobs to turn that would help the problem enormously.

Israel assassinated the leader of Hamas, not Hezbollah.

If the Tibetan was a terrorist leader responsible for an October 7th attack then that would be the same. But the US Government would probably never shelter someone who committed an attack like that against China.

Russia can more easily afford to lose men than Ukraine, but the flip side of that is that NATO can more easily afford to spend money on tanks/planes/missile systems/etcetera than Russia.
I don't consider Israel's assassination of the leader of Hamas on Iranian soil a big escalation. It seems like just the normal thing to do with terrorist leaders.
Edit: also, I think the US Government might continue to supply Ukraine indefinitely, as long as the voting public doesn't actively oppose it. It's not like we live in a direct democracy where every voter has to actively re-up on the decision to arm Ukraine once per year, it's more delegated/technocratic/deep-statey than that. Whatever words you want to use to describe it.
As much as I don't trust the unelected bureaucracy about some things, this way of making the decision seems fine to me.
The idea of trying to make theme park-like rides and themed entertainment for cruise ships is kind of interesting to me from a design perspective, but I wouldn't want to ride on one.
