People are misunderstanding the core problem when they say “he shouldn’t get $600 million for being bad at his job”.
Even if he was GOOD at his job, he shouldn’t be getting $600 million. NO ONE should.
Justifying it as a performance metric is how it gets normalized.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

A friend and I were talking about this and we've decided in 2025 that everyone is allowed to have one conspiracy theory as a treat as long as it doesn't end with, "and the jews did it"
When Epstein died, I was 100% certain it was suicide. Because jail sucks and it's not an uncommon thing for detainees to do.
But the way the Trump administration has behaved pretty much every time anything Epstein-related has happened, even I'm starting to be like "...but *was* it suicide?? 🤔"

Look, I'm not one to quickly believe in conspiracy theories about us attacking Venezuela on a made up provocation to distract from the Epstein files, but the timing of all this is not helping me convince myself that it's not true.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

They like her BECAUSE she asset stripped the country and did a huge transfer of wealth to the rich from public utilities to enriching landlords to reducing power of unions to removing banking and industry regulation, with the added bigotry towards minorities they enjoy too
I’ve never understood the adulation people have for Thatcher. She was a heartless monster who asset-stripped an entire country and squandered the money to buy votes. The idea that she was some sort of economic genius is farcical and the terrible state of the country today is her legacy.

The moment you understand that gender segregation largely exists in sports to protect the egos of fragile men from the indignity of losing to a woman or to allow women to compete without enduring unwelcoming "No Girls Allowed" spaces in sport then the lie behind "protecting women" becomes apparent.

It is essential to remember that Sensible centrists got everything they wanted in the UK.
The left smashed, their Competent Sensible politicians won by a landslide last year and have a huge majority and the policies they dreamed of implemented.
And the result is endless horror.

This is the crux of the bargain white ppl made voting for trump & the gop. "Rid us of brown ppl & make white ppl the majority again & we will sacrifice our jobs, savings, homes, and even children." They 💯 factored in those losses & decided it was worth it. That's why nothing else he does matters

I wish this was an exaggeration, but it isn’t. They appear to have actively worked to block their purported allies being granted asylum, so they couldn’t be called to give evidence in Britain.
