from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz
Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."

I wonder what it would be like to write the same column, over and over again, endlessly. Seems like it’d be boring. But maybe it brings one comfort, like having your parents read you the same story every night before you go to bed.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

It's all Gender! People with service and laptop jobs are treated as unmanly and unworthy of consideration even though they are the ones driving growth and filling the treasury. But when a blue collar male worker from a subsidized industry like oil or coal losses a job - that's a national tragedy.

They’re likely trying to prevent defections, but I understand why everyone thinks this is ominous - there’s a lot of intel out there that Putin is planning a major escalation, likely in the Baltic States. Which would be an absolutely moronic thing for him to do, but here we are.

The Russia sanctions bill that Congress finally passed last night has got a lot of attention. But although it's good to see Congress willing to put some pressure on the White House, I doubt it will actually result in sanctions on Russia (obviously, I hope I'm wrong). 🧵

I think Hunter S. Thompson's column in the immediate aftermath pretty much nailed it www.espn.com/espn/page2/s...
The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.

It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy. Osama bin Laden may be a primitive "figurehead" -- or even dead, for all we know -- but whoever put those All-American jet planes loaded with All-American fuel into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon did it with chilling precision and accuracy. The second one was a dead-on bullseye. Straight into the middle of the skyscraper.This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed -- for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won't hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force.

Good luck. He is in for a profoundly difficult job -- armed as he is with no credible Military Intelligence, no witnesses and only the ghost of Bin Laden to blame for the tragedy.
OK. It is 24 hours later now, and we are not getting much information about the Five Ws of this thing.

The numbers out of the Pentagon are baffling, as if Military Censorship has already been imposed on the media. It is ominous. The only news on TV comes from weeping victims and ignorant speculators.

The lid is on. Loose Lips Sink Ships. Don't say anything that might give aid to The Enemy.

If you go back and look at what the objectives of al Qaeda were as of 2001: the destabilization of the US, its fall from global grace, the decline of its empire... a quarter century on... OBL seems to be flying his own "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner from the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

Looking back from 2026, it is absurdly easy to draw an perfectly straight line from 9/11 to all the shit happening today. It's not even a stretch. From ICE blowing citizens' brains out in the streets, to rampant xenophobia/Islamophobia, to Donald Trump being an important figure... Straight Line.
