Fun fact: If you read that post out loud, you sound like the adults in the Peanuts™️ cartoons.
I feel like we should wear toques or something. But not cover our faces, let them see the frost on our eyebrows.
Agree, the only people who should destroy the White House are Canadians, because we did that once. Just sayin' ... 😉
Well, two things can be true at the same time. This applies.
Anyone who thinks Dems are the answer to the clusterfuck currently in power, give your heads shake. This is what ALL you're politics are now. Enjoy.
This is a thread you should consider - knowledge is power, so knowing what motivates Nerzis without BEING one is a big deal.
Being unable to understand a Nazi’s inner world is recipe for failure to understand their behaviour. This is true for any flavour of bigot.

You can’t outsmart an enemy you don’t understand, you just end up exhausted and shadow boxing instead. Understanding does not require empathy.
Who knew Luigi was the original Hawk Tuah person? I did not have that on my culture bingo card.
There is no gray area, we have warrants for a reason. You need to have cause to intrude on privacy. There is no scenario where you should not be COMPELLED to get a warrant. Period.
Well, the GOP are the party of lawlessness and disorder, so that goes a long way.
But oatmeal waffles, right? RIGHT?
When economists frame anything (like tech) in terms of economics, it ALWAYS comes down to the flow of capital. AI generates huge flows of capital, so it must be "transformational" - is some greed-based economy bullshit in every sense. Transformational? Fuck off.
The mind boggles - not a single politician at ANY level is there to help people live better lives. In the end, it's always about them and what they can get. Always.
Well, I don't think this kind of rhetoric moves the needle with a bunch of lawless legislators. They do not care. This isn't the first law they've broken. This isn't the first time they've ignored the constitution.

Language, alone, will not sway them.

Mr. Walsh, do you have any idea how much you aided this very same party to get to where they are? If you want to switch horses now, you have a very, very, very long way to go. Have some self-awareness and take some ownership for your own toxicity. And do MUCH MORE.
I have spoons in my kitchen that are both smarter and edgier than Owens. Just sayin',,,
It's almost like it was a long-game psy-op just to slowly radicalize a huge population of young (mostly white) girls to far right ideology. I mean, it sounds conpiracy-like, but look at the exhibits.
Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh are the most egregious abuses of appointment powers ever seen for SCOTUS - they are absolutely, in every respect, not suited, credentialed or fit for that appointment.
He's so woke they may deport him from the u.s. - clearly a DEI hire.
Absolutely worth the read - GenAI is, and will continue, destroy our entire public sphere. This is not hyperbole, realize the risk RIGHT NOW.
I wrote about how AI has destroyed trust in the videos and images we see online, how tech oligarchs couldn’t care less, and the Butlerian Jihad (kinda).

Trumpet was THE instrument in the day, still brilliant music and playing.
And stagnant wages, supported by the wealthy biz class, continues to chip away. The Reagan/Thatcher era econ disaster simply clear-cut all opportunities for everyone after the 80s, degree or not.
Isn't the doctor shortage screaming for a streamlined approach to new doctors from abroad? Is our need for legislative racism stronger than our need for doctors? How stupid is this?!
