This reminds me of white people in the antebellum South who had no slaves but supported the system because racial superiority was all they had. We have to be a gangster state because it makes a few losers feel cool

NEW: Child welfare systems vary widely in what they count as a positive drug test.

One state’s level is so low that Air Force pilots can fly with up to 400 times more opiates in their system.
Her Parenting Time Was Restricted After a Positive Drug Test. By Federal Standards, It Would've Been Negative.
In the child welfare system, the threshold at which a drug test is considered positive varies widely from one jurisdiction to the next. There’s no industry consensus on what, or if anything, should be done about the differing standards.

Stromberg aber ohne den widerwilligen Charme, auf Weltbühne.
Merz ist, wenn man einen unerfahrenen Rentner als Abteilungsleiter einstellt, der täglich erzählt, wie schlecht es läuft, dass in seiner Abteilung nur faule Schmarotzer sind, alles zusammenstreicht, mehr Geld für Deals mit Amigos will, die Produktion auf Museumsstücke umstellt, und mehr Gehalt will.
Brief von Kanzler Merz: Wirtschaft hat höchste Priorität
In einem Brief an die Abgeordneten von Union und SPD hat Bundeskanzler Merz seine Schwerpunkte für 2026 skizziert. Auf vier Seiten mahnt er: Die wirtschaftliche Lage müsse höchste Priorität haben.

Nothing makes it more obvious to me that the whole AI thing is nothing but a gambit about who's gonna be the last person to hold the bag when it all goes downhill, than all those companies burning down well known brands to capitalize on a Ponzi scheme.
Microsoft is so fucking stupid.

Microsoft renamed Microsoft Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot App

Spineless cowards at best, vultures itching to feed on the remains of democracy at worst.
U.K. Tory chief Kemi Badenoch has praised the capture of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. troops as the moral course of action claiming the Venezuelan president ran a “gangster state.”
Trump’s Maduro raid was ‘right thing to do,’ says UK Tory chief
Kemi Badenoch said she understands what it is like living “under a military dictatorship” after growing up in Nigeria.

I hate that democracy is being strangled by a bunch of idiots who don't even have to try that hard.
"did you try to bribe the president of the united states by giving him your nobel peace prize so he will declare that you are in charge of venezuela after abducting its leader by military force" is just a thing that someone can be asked in an interview now and we all have to deal with that
Hannity: Did you at any point offered to give him the Nobel peace prize?

Machado: It hasn’t happened yet. We want to give it to him. Share it with him.

Wild to hear an actual government institution do the "Who knows whether it's good or bad"-meme but for the world's largest CSAM generator.
Ofcom *might* "undertake a swift *assessment* to determine *whether* there are *potential* compliance issues that *warrant investigation*."

Hard to believe, but we waste almost a quarter of a billion pounds of public money annually on this absolute shower of a regulator.

An incantation to soothe anger from nearly 4 millennia ago for those in need of one.

It begins by telling us what anger is and does.

“Anger goes like a wild bull, it continually leaps forth like a dog.”

Anger is like a lion and a wolf.

It is fierce. It runs. It tears at one’s face and stomach.

Dass die Sicherheitsbehörden die Gefahr von links „unterschätzen“ würden, ist in Deutschland ein schlechter Witz - historisch, aber auch gegenwärtig. Ein paar Einordnungen aus Anlass des (unaufgeklärten) Anschlags in Berlin:
Anschlag in Berlin: Bei Linksextremen schauen die Sicherheitsbehörden genau hin
Anschlag in Berlin: Bei Linksextremen schauen die Sicherheitsbehörden genau hin. Dass der Fall in der Hauptstadt bisher nicht geklärt ist, liegt wohl daran, dass er komplexer ist als gedacht.

imho it is a capitalist war of imperialism in the sense that there is no rational logic to this other than the excess of the system coming to power and, in total ”irrationality”, making an attempt to smash the world into their favor for further extraction and exploitation
