Nailed it. When Schumer became senate leader after a lifetime devoted to ensuring that Wall Streeters pay low or no taxes on their immense wealth, I was shocked, but I seemed to be the only one. It was and is legalizing corruption as far as I’m concerned.

I’ve noticed that people wanting, say, to kick this girl off the team, never start out “I completely respect trans people and am in no way suggesting she isn’t a girl, but blah blah blah.” The motivation is hate.

Adrian McKinty’s Sean Duffy series is awesome. An atmospheric, tense portrait of NI through the lens of a great character.

Is that the white house ballroom?

Mike Karpa @mikekarpa.bsky.social · 6d

Absolutely correct.

Mike Karpa @mikekarpa.bsky.social · 6d

It’s the Epstein Ballroom, duh.

Are we supposed to stop using the term “tech industry” for it, then?

Aside from the shape being wrong, Alcatraz is immediately opposite the Golden Gate, so it’s about the foggiest spot in a foggy area, and it’s surrounded by the deepest, coldest waters. It’s never going to be covered in oak trees and grassy lawns. It’s not called “the rock” for nothing.

If ICE is raiding street vendors for selling counterfeit goods, is the next raid on Facebook or OpenAI for selling the counterfeiting systems also known as “AI”?
