Then there's the genocidal maniacs like Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Netanyahu etc..

I watched a documentary about Shostakovich a while ago; some old Russian geezer said (with just a smidge of hyperbole) that in the future Stalin would be remembered as a politician of the Shostakovich era.

The thing people don't realise about Stringy's incalculable haul of years on this planet is they don't merely stretch backwards to the dawn of time, but also forwards, to the end of it.

 

He has already lived every year there has been or ever will be, and is now merely unstuck in time, shuffling back and forth through the ether in Boden gear, incontinence pants and a Half Man Half Biscuit t-shirt, observing us curiously like ants he pokes now and then with a stick.

 

He is the hand on the tiller.

 

He is the face at the window.

 

He is the éminence grise.


He gave Elite the idea for this thread in a note from the future just so he could get a mention, the vain get.

The founder of Tik Tok - whose name hardly anyone knows.

House lawmakers are expected to vote starting at around 10 a.m. on Wednesday on legislation meant to force ByteDance, the Chinese internet company, to sell its wildly popular social media app TikTok.

The vote would be the latest development in a yearslong cold war between the United States and China over who controls valuable technology from computer chips to artificial intelligence. Lawmakers and the White House have expressed concerns that TikTok’s Chinese ownership poses a national security risk because Beijing could use the app to gain access to Americans’ data or run a disinformation campaign.
