if the sand is aluminium oxide it’s a corundum conundrum

it’s a variant spelling of knurl going back to shakespeare. a knurl or gnarl is a knot in wood, a cross-grained misshapen knob that forms as a tree grows around the base of a dead branch or dormant bud.

xhs has always been clear not to use he/him pronouns and lists none/use name. please do not misgender xhs.

the timestamps are consistent with “jx” being a few hours east of epstein for that conversation. in england, for instance.

adj. gnarly (comparative gnarlier, superlative gnarliest)

1. Having or characterized by gnarls; gnarled.

2. (slang, dated) Excellent; attractive.

pretty gnarly

back when i was learning cuneiform we had a special brush for debugging the clay tablets

i would guess it’s to distract from the fact that the rest of the headline reads “europe’s leaders try to reduce dependence on trump” and they don’t want their audience thinking too hard about what those words mean when all put together like that.

it gives the impression that the new york times is offering a glimpse at an important diplomatic meeting where lots of important powerful people are talking and making big important decisions about how to maybe eventually attempt to be less wholly subjugated by trump and the american empire. a new york times subscriber likely considers themselves to be a “foodie” and wants to hear about the menu at what they like to imagine to be a modern-day potsdam conference.

i know you don’t gamble, i was joking. my point is that silver price is still quite high in all currencies. there’s still a long way to drop, so this may or may not prove to be much of a dip. it’s a sudden low relative to an extreme high.

it’s still near its historic inflation-adjusted high price, and while all of this has been going on the u.s. dollar index changed like 3%. i personally don’t take financial advice from silverbugs in c/badposting, but ymmv gambling with argie dollars.

and make sure to tell him we’re not mad

well that’s a headline for 2026

thank you for your service

fasci-nating

because i used grillman? i debated internally which emoji to represent a generic neighborly minnesotan who has suddenly found themselves labeled as “antifa” for their opposition to the occupation forces.

why did i settle on grillman? it’s perhaps an interesting question. it seemed good enough for my purpose and i didn’t want to spend overly much time deciding, and so i picked grillman. but perhaps you object to the decision because grillman represents to you the intentionally oblivious beneficiary of imperial dividends. and fair enough. but does grillman lack all revolutionary potential? is the occupation not igniting that revolutionary spark that exists whenever grillman can grill not just for himself, but for his neighbors?

fuck off pigs! op! forgot my mittens. back in a jiffy.
