It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

Ironically TikTok will actually become propaganda now. All because a bunch of out of touch old people couldn't comprehend what normal political opinions look like. Everyone being against bombing hospitals was obviously China's doing, so we sold the platform to some techno fascists. Nice job, idiots.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

It's crazy how the US built this extremely robust system of government to prevent the centralization of power. Armed the populace so they could keep everything in check. Then all it took was 1 dude to just go "I can do whatever I want" and everyone was like "fair enough".

My household received unfortunate news that’s going to impact our finances, so I’m trying to offset as much as possible going into the holidays.

I’m selling my like-new, limited edition Grape Analogue Pocket for $450 (with free shipping within the US) - it comes loaded with over 500 games!

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.

Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.
