Fair bit of “pulling off” — something I’d previously associated with Artificial Insemination — going on here.
This is a since-deleted LinkedIn post from the marketing agency that created the since-deleted AI-generated McDonalds Christmas ad, and all I can think of is how the energy consumption must've been about on par with a small suburb or heavy industrial load to produce 30 seconds of slop everyone hated

Next time, let's vote Greens and progressive independents. It might be the best thing we've ever done. If it doesn't work, we can vote them out again at the following election. Isn't trying something new better than perpetually flipping the ALP/LNP turd?
At least when LNP was in we had hope that Labor would be better.
Now I feel trapped and betrayed
Could and should be SO different 😞😞 #auspol

In a stunning display of economic creativity or, let’s be honest, fantasy Trump recently suggested that Americans might not have to pay income taxes if tariff revenue is high enough.Brilliant! Who knew that slapping tariffs on imports could magically replace trillions of dollars in federal revenue?
Trump has said tariff revenue may allow Americans to stop paying income taxes. The math doesn't add up
The federal income tax brought in about $2.4 trillion in 2024, which is more than 14 times what Trump’s second-term tariffs are generating.

NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market.
Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please.

Our biggest threat doesn't need to cross a border to harm us.
From a yacht, billionaires can move markets, pressure govs, dodge taxes & bankroll politicians to rewrite our laws.
The threat isn't the "outsider"
It's the concentrated power already inside.

Too dumb to get the terminology right. The Soviet Union was the Motherland; Nazi Germany was the Fatherland.

Sydney man Jack Eltis said the National Socialist Network “was about 90 per cent” of the way to forming state and national parties.

"We’re not just talking about a sandwich," Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael C. DiLorenzo said. "This isn’t about a sandwich."
Except it's about a FUCKING SANDWICH!
Imagine trying to have any self respect after declaring that "sandwiches qualify as weaponized projectiles" is now legal precedent.
