By accepting their methods as valid when applied to others, he validates the use of the same tactics against his own community. Which is far more likely than the inverse.
Eradication of Christian nationalists will never be possible, because they already have the power and are wielding it.

He seems to see the world the way Rs have been training us all to see it. As a collection of purely transactional encounters.
Understandable, but unless you have the majority of the power in such a society already, that kind of society will never serve your interests.

Reports suggest he’ll be lucky to still be alive for the midterms, never mind the ‘28 elections (due to medical issues).

With the conversation around Mamdani asking for funds from the public to cover the cost of his transition (instead of taking donations from folk looking for favors), it raises the question of how my new governor is paying for her transition?
Is it the public, or special interests?

A CEOs job these days seems to be “put your head in the sand, and sacrifice long term sustainability of the business for the sake of the next quarterly return”
Not just in tech either, though i extreme there.
Those managers know the difference between done fast and done well.

This article mentions digging into diverse sections of “settings” to tweak various aspects of the UI. I’m half expecting Alanis moriset to tell us this must be the introduction to the “opposite sketch” right now.

Soaping up Liquid Glass: less transparency, more contrast
For those who find the fall 2025 Liquid Glass interface that Apple applied to all its operating systems a bit much—too transparent, too shiny, too hard to read or interpret stuff through layers—App…

Regressive is the right word.
We erroneously refer to Rs as “conservative”, and Dems as “liberal”, when in reality neither is true.
Republican - regressive
Democrats - conservative
Socialists - progressive.
Language matters.

This is what makes me question the intelligence and integrity of anyone who admits to using LLMs for just about anything.
You have to have a pretty strong disinterest in the truth to prefer one of these, over a standard online search. Which, if true, makes me wonder why you are searching at all.

Have you tried having the inside cleaned?
Dust, hair, and debris can build up inside, throttling air flow. May also want to have the thermal paste replaced on the heat sinks. Could get performance back with minimal investment.
Can find YT videos on how to DIY for even less $

Pete is:
a once in a generation talent for communicating political concepts to both sides of the isle, but willing to throw trans folks under the bus to appeal to R’s
His politics are center right, and he was ineffectual as Trans. Sec.
Use him for what he is good at, but don’t trust him.

Trump loves attaching himself to a Winner. He gets to pretend he saw it first, and his base will believe him, because they are a cult.
The question is how much will having (the appearance of) trumps support detail the mayor elect.

OG tv news folks came out of radio. They were in it for the news. That is why they took their job as reporters seriously
Modern tv news folks got into it to be on TV. They are into it for the fame. That is why they treat the news as secondary to their personal brand.
All TV news is pointless

Not a constitutional crisis, it is a congressional crisis. It is congresses job to be a check on the president, and they are simply choosing NOT to exercise their power to do so. He could be impeached and convicted TOMORROW if congress wanted to, and that would be the end of the “crisis”.

I fly American about once a year due to them being the only option for some trip or other. And so far, I can only think of a single AA itinerary that wasn’t a Complete clusterfuck.
