  • Your pocket bomb doesn’t have any actual bomb in it (unless the Israelis put some there, like the Hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies.) They can burn fast, but afaik they don’t explode, just like gunpowder doesn’t explode. It burns very fast. On the other hand, they can produce gas and burst the battery pack, which might be considered an explosion, but I’d argue it’s not actually one.

    Which isn’t going to make someone who has it happen in their pocket feel any better.

    If I have my physics wrong, please correct me, I’m not a lithium bomb expert :)








  • Picking a VP to meet demographics rather than because they’d be a good president if the worst happens is… problematic, and I think that’s exactly why she has the job. She wasn’t great during the 2020 primary. Whether because the Biden team has sidelined her the last four years or some other factor, is irrelevant in the critical fight to not lose our democracy.

    If I had my druthers it would be Whitmer/Shapiro - two popular (at least among their constituents) governors from swing states. The Dems have a number of promising candidates honestly - imagine that debate with Newsom instead of Biden - but the swing state issue tips it for me.
