They need to come up with AI generated holographic replacements, keep the show rolling forever. Didn't Abba try this without the AI...

When I go to a Ryokan, I bring a list of my own rules. If they don't like it, I walk.....lots of businesses want my cash(or bitcoin to sound relevant)

Not buying this ....

Deja vu all over again

correct!! I predict if we don’t turn this around there will be global famines killing billions by the early 1970s, we will be in another ice age by 23 years ago, we will deplete the ozone by 40 years ago, we will kill everything in all the lakes and oceans with acid rain, also by 40 years ago…. And so on and so forth… we, my friend, are on the side of science.

So all we need to need to do is listen to the scientist and just do what they tell us to do and everything will be fixed. Because it’s only two weeks to flatten the curve. We got this!!!!

Brilliant...and don't forget economists have predicted 8 out of the last 5 recessions!

The beer can was shaken by the frothy incident, but was not thought to be "ale"-ing after things came to a head in this "draft" encounter.

Does anyone offer a deep fried Mars bar burger? Asking for a friend.

China has never 'owned' Taiwan, this isn't a "we'll take it back" argument it's a threat of war and invasion.

Perhaps you might consider rewording your comment to say the current government of mainland China has never owned Taiwan.

Because Taiwan officially became part of China over 3 hundred years ago."

Why you selectively go back 300 years? What about before that? The mainland Chinese only came after Taiwan had been colonized by the Dutch, so according to your pretzel logic, it should actually be part of Holland. But wait, in fact the rightful "owners" are the indigenous peoples who have been there for 6000 years. Let's peacefully return the land to them.

The Penguin from the old Batman series was a cantankerous old chap and regularly used his umbrella in Errol Flynn style duels.

It's all about hegemony. Current system consists of one US superpower hegemon and it's G7 minions. Not perfect, but it is the the "least worst" system. Alternative is China, Russia hegemonic challenge to US which would result in a period of perilous global instability and lots of wars.

The biggest change for me was to realize that when the do-do hits the fan....democracy is dead and the media and big pharma are in bed with the governments, and when push comes to shove all your rights are gone and 'They' slap Mandates on you !"

Indeed, brings to mind the Clash song, Know Your Rights.

You sir, are no Deuce Bigelow!

The big Western powers need to stop kowtowing to this bully. Withdraw diplomatic recognition, and establish embassies in Taiwan. Watch them come grovelling back

Back in the 80s, the fear was Japan Inc was taking over the world before the bubble first. Kind of ironic now to see this kind of development.

If any enemy has some invisible way to get that close, we are all in trouble"

With all due respect there are many military techniques which are invisible or very difficult to see or track even with advanced tech. Small drones, electromagnetic pulses, stealth fights, radio jammers, chemicals, etcetc. Not saying that any of that happened here, but your rant seems to claim that none of this tech exists.

The island referred to as Taiwan has never belonged to China. It was previously colonized by imperialist Portuguese and Dutch, who were then followed by Chinese mainlanders with another wave post-WW2. Therefore, the only peaceful and just solution is to return it to its rightful owners, namely the indigenous peoples who inhabited this island before all the imperialist intrusions.

Never sell your soul to try and impress some slumlord anywhere in the world. If they don't want your money walk!

Why not put a 200% global tax on junk food and use proceeds to help developing world

Let me channel some Rodney Dangerfield folks....I went to a riot squad march and a hockey game broke out!

Companionship ain't what it used to be

"Olympics IOC chief Basch slams 'deplorable' government views on Russia"

Looks like your editors "basched" Bach

Sentence this miscreant to 40 years of licking stamps at the post office

This is eggs-pensive

This competition is a farce. Italy? Baseball????? C'mon!

There simply aren't enough teams playing to have a global competition. Suggested revised format.

US and Japan automatic semifinals. Other Asian teams single game knockout playoff, and winner goes to best of 5 semi against Japan. Rest of world does same, and winner against US.

Finals is 4 out of 7. But it only makes sense if the very best Americans play, not a second rate B squad

Maybe Jake Paul and his brother can take on these 2 guys tag team....would break all pay per view records

Each successful delivery will be accompanied by the theme song Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto. The band Styx will make a fortune in royalties

Will need to wear a diaper as well to increase the convenience factor.

$400/month for 18 years??? This dude can now afford to upgrade his skills.

The Penguin salutes you.
