With the new gas terminal we can now spend even more money on gas, tanking our trade deficit further, polluting the atmosphere more and you can't even opt out on a personnel level because they are going to put a levy on your fucking power bill

You could increase our national research spend by ~25% for an entire government term for this much money
Given all the really important shit that this government says we "can't afford" it's amazing what they manage to find money for.

In any other industry this sort of subsidy would would have ACT and National screaming their heads off. Instead they - undoubtedly with a push from Shane Jones - are taxing electricity to pay for more gas to be brought in and more NZD to be sent overseas.
Absolutely absurd act of vandalism.

But wait! Butters the owl at the Toronto Zoo thinks the Patriots will win. Of course, owls are notoriously stupid and foolish creatures and their insights are not to be taken seriously, as opposed to the noble tarantula.

One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.
Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.

This is the logic of DOGE. We need a federal government made of strong, stable institutions full of career bureaucrats quietly doing largely thankless technical work to maintain obscure but crucial systems and protect us from things we don’t understand. ICE and CBP are exceptions, not the rule.
So, my liberal buds, my progressive pals: you know how you're beginning to realize that ICE (perhaps the whole of DHS?) is structured to allow abuses, riddled with career psychopaths, utterly beyond saving as an institution?
Now, consider, in the spirit of inquiry: the entire federal government

Drives me mad that people defend these dirtbags for free. Anything they are owed they have been paid for beyond any argument.
a thing i think about a lot is that the median tech billionaire enjoys a level of privilege, wealth and comfort that even the most profligate medieval king could not have dreamt of, with absolutely none of the responsibilities that king would have had, while constantly demanding to be thanked for it
I was thinking about this over the weekend and I was finding myself drawn back to one line -
People like Jeff Bezos have been rewarded for their industry disruption by never having to worry about money ever again, and yet they also want the rest of the world to personally congratulate them for it.
