The items from the Home Depot link below in a picture in the oval office but with gold paint on them. Cheap tacky trash

It is remarkable that of all the celebrities from the '80s who've gone full fash Axl Rose of all people zoomed in the other direction.

No show do Guns N' Roses de ontem em Bogotá, o Axl recebeu essa bandeira da plateia durante a música Civil War.

Cantor Axl Rose, homem branco de meia idade com cabelo louro, segura uma bandeira da palestina com o logotipo do Guns N' Roses e escrito "I don't need your civil war".

That would be the only reason I'd root for them.

Though who knows, maybe if the Brewers win, it'll fix it?

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Well, at least the accident insurance seems to have paid out, so that will keep up afloat for a few more weeks. Hopefully, the disability claim gets approved and goes through soon.

I'm always reminded of this. They're just a well funded government gang that has no obligation to help anyone unless they feel like it.

Recent article about the AI companies choosing similar logos. medium.com/ai-ai-agent/...

Why do so many AI company logos look like abstract buttholes?

If you pay attention to AI company branding, you’ll notice a pattern:

None of these are surprising.

Shocked that Gardiner isn't out there masking up himself with some knockoff tacticool gear from Amazon himself to try to crack skulls.

I hated living under his 45th oversight.

So, about that letter of support for Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes: 13 alderpeople didn’t sign it • The TRiiBE

The letter describes what the agents did to Fuentes as an “abuse of power.” Mayor Brandon Johnson, City Clerk, Anna Valencia and City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin also signed it.

True story, during the Great Recession, Airbus said that to survive it needed to open some non-EU factories in places with cheap, compliant labor, no environmental restrictions, and no meaningful labor law and after a lengthy internal study the two sites they chose were Bangladesh and Alabama.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?

Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.
