The fact that this almost directly echoes President Nixon’s counsel is surely a coincidence. - RZ
Chris Murphy: "Let's talk about what's at stake here. The president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He's not thinking about the American people at all."

If they truly think the video makes the shooting seem justified, it’s because they believe summary execution is an appropriate punishment for “being a bitch” and they feel confident that many other men believe the same thing
The new video makes clear that
1) he told her to get out of the car, and ultimately shot her, because he wanted to punish her for making him feel small
2) she made him feel small, not because she was a threat to him or anyone else, but because she was not afraid of him

DHS should go away. This should be a real goal, to unwind this un-American beast created by the War on Terror. Send the agencies under its umbrella back to their historic homes. Maybe save TSA and send it to DOT. But nuke the rest of it.

America trying to administer a currently socialistic country in the tropics? Promises of transition to a new government? I've seen this before somewhere..... anybody remember how it went?

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Uranium sales are about to go through the roof amongst smaller nations who don't trust the closest major power.
congratulations to the Kim family, whose entire approach to the question of how you respond to a hostile, completely unreliable United States has been completely vindicated by the past 25 years

Installing Linux is now easier than Windows 11:
Currently, windows requires multiple reboots, online connectivity, signing up for a service, and serves ads.
Most Linux distro's can install in less than 10 min, no ads, no internet needed, and one reboot.

Just saw an ad for a vocational school arguing the trades are AI proof. The ad, however, used AI generated cartoons in lieu of actors.

People really need to understand Marcuse and apply it to this moment. Maybe I need to write “Zero-Dimensional Man”…..
for the love of god, AI systems aren't "just tools that are neither good nor evil in and of themselves". AI systems *are* tools of capitalism. they exist as tools of capitalism. there is no AI system "in and of itself" outside of capitalism

One thing I don't get about the people who dislike being wished "Happy Holidays," they know that people who say that want them to be happy, right?
