To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word "doublethink" involved the use of doublethink.

I though it was Vientiane for a second. It isn't : they don't have tall buildings there.

Little story about Vientiane and cats: there's a old lady that feeds the street cats twice a day, at 8 am and 5 pm. Like clockwork, about 20 cats show up 15 min before those times and just wait for her. It looks a lot like the picture, only with a lot more cats. Moral of the story: cats can precisely tell the time.

Is it me or 12% is kinda low for such a big system to manage?

Don't get me wrong, we need to tackle this problem from every direction, but I was expecting more, especially by 2030.

I'm starting to think that the gun lobby might be lying to us...

So you're saying there's a chance?

I though I was the only one petty enough to do that... Now I now there must be dozens of us!

It used to be cheap, fast, filling and clean. It's none of those things anymore.

What's their value proposition nowadays? Nostalgia?

I believe Sean may also have a cauliflower brain.

How I envy you to be able to watch Archer for the first time.

I must have watched the whole thing a dozen times.

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed killing all on board, Russia's civil aviation authority has said.

Earlier, Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defences in the Tver region, north of Moscow.

The jet, which was flying from Moscow to St Petersburg, was carrying seven passengers and three crew.

Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against the Russian armed forces in June.

Grey Zone said local residents heard two bangs before the crash and saw two vapour trails.

Tass news agency said the plane caught fire on hitting the ground, adding that four bodies had already been found.

The aircraft had been in the air for less than half an hour, it said.
