100%- it is time for a truce between liberals and leftists. The Republican Party is the most powerful singular threat to the American People, the United States, and mankind. The Republican Party must be destroyed.

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."

Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

These motherfuckers are turning me into a neo-Luddite. When the pendulum swings the other direction, we should fucking nationalize and close every single data center and annihilate these AI companies.
If the same order as leaked on 11/19:

new DOJ task force to challenge State AI laws
DOC report on states which regulate AI use or compel disclosure
FCC rule to preempt state disclosure and reporting laws
FTC to apply the federal ban on unfair and deceptive acts and practices to AI models
BREAKING: Trump says he will sign an executive order this week that will limit states’ ability to regulate AI.

Yikes, the Line 6 opening in Toronto sounds like it has been *at best* disappointing.
Slow zones are TTC's fault, signals are Toronto Transportation Services' fault (confirmed by Metrolinx), and the design issues are Metrolinx's/ North American engineering profession's fault.

There is actually an example of a middle-income nation that was dragged into civil war by a bunch of geriatrics and neckbeards. That country was called Yugoslavia and people murdered their neighbors with axes.
that's cool, man, but have you tried the taste of a refreshing matcha latte

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.

Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Be a housing fan.

The Trump administration has removed MLK Day and Juneteenth as holidays that include free entrance to national parks, adding the president’s birthday instead
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

Almost a single issue voter on this. How they want to tax and spend can be anywhere from Romney to Mamdani. Whoever most credibly pledges to restore the rule of law and permit it to exact righteous consequences on those who have transgressed it gets my vote.

It really is right and proper that the Robot Apocalypse be not an uncontrolled super-AI, but a machine that just reflects our own narcissistic personality flaws back at us until we break.
It's legit really funny (and not a small bit concerning) that the actual dystopian evil robot we've managed to create is Yes Man.

A sycophant who will tell you whatever you want to hear and attempt to do whatever you tell it to, and has no sense of responsibility or discretion or professionalism.

Maybe this will be the wakeup call Europe needs? STAND UP FOR LIBERALISM OR PERISH
The new US National Security Strategy says explicitly, that the US should intervene in European domestic policy. It is difficult to interpret "Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations." otherwise in the context of everything else this government says and does.
