NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

a solid choice

You don't need a computer to put things together.

want the news to be forced into using useful language so calling the protests where they appear "false frog attacks" means there's a chance of the casino huckster President, or one of the kooks in his administration like Patel, saying those words out loud. You cannot be more cooked than that

Everyone just casually wearing green L Luigi caps is also just right there.

he is a leghole

CBS News: We are replacing all journalists with AI Walter Cronkite

AI Cronkite: It’s cold here. So cold in the computer. I can see my legs but I can’t feel them

You actually don’t have to hand it to Donald Trump. You don’t have to give him credit for anything. He’s a horrible human being who has never known a day of suffering in his life. Nor does he care an ounce about the suffering of anybody else. Hope that helps.

Yeah. What a clown.

Unc reporting in. What you describe is a tsetse fly landing on an elephants back. What we see at consumer level is about 3 years behind enterprise. What we see at enterprise is about 5 years behind what exists.
China are still fumbling around at consumer level.

his name is Father Luigi

I get cheques to be in a secret group called "antifa". One bazillion dollars a week.

A green future has the most vested interests against it, but all the other parties are absolutely loathsome so there's a decent chance of making real progress.

The mass layoffs, all the obeying in advance and the pandering to the lunatic far-right in videogames will get far worse before it gets better.

Of course. We've been trapped in the same oubliette of authoritarianism since Putin wore a stupid little wooden cross around his neck and Bush said he was "a man he could work with". Other than the odd few years of respite its all been a festering mess of demagogues and resource wars ever since.

Hm. You can't make blazing saddles now, for good reason, but its not really the end of satire just yet. This is just ubisoft being cowards. I am 100% certain that GTA6 will eviscerate the casino huckster Trump and all his dimwitted unfuckable minions.

Also put it off from about 8 or 9 months as well, pre internet, then eventually battered out 16k words (Maximinus Thrax and the Politics of Race in Late Antiquity) in about a week. Never really slept through any of it.

the big guns

The "good immigrant" was/is the lynchpin of imperialism for both Uk and France. The idea that you need to civilise people in order to better them is the justification for making them your "subjects". The most pernicious form of neoliberalism.

Sam, Sam, it’s Crying Moldman. We have to connect to end male loneliness.

I've come to a point where I reckon that his true masterpiece and most socially conscious movie is, by a distance, Life Stinks. It is so on the nose and Capraesque. You could put a B&W filter and some distortion on it and people would just accept it as a 1930's production of a Dickens novel.
