I propose a Tethering law. A CEO's total compensation may not be more than 50x the total compensation of the organization's lowest-paid full-time employee.

CEO makes $400M?
Janitor makes $8M.

Wanna keep janitor to $40K?
Keep CEO at $200K.

(Use interstate commerce legal rationale.)

Multiple times during the war in Gaza, Hamas fighters pretended to surrender and then attacked, so people are twitchy, kind of like how American soldiers were after 9/11, except 9/11 only killed 3000 people, and the 10/7 massacre killed the per capita equivalent of 40,000 Americans.

And the number of cases should be ZERO, because we have a safe and effective vaccine against it, and we know how to do ring-vaccination and contact tracing to prevent imported cases from turning into epidemics.

Probably they didn't just redact Trump's name; probably it was every prominent Republican who is in there, except for the ones Trump has decided betrayed him or something, so they get thrown under the bus.

Netanyahu is not the problem. Khamenei and his antisemitic monomania is. If he weren't fixated on eradicating Jews and Judaism from the birthplace of Judaism itself, Israel wouldn't have to be dealing with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis with long-range missiles - no problem.

Bullshit. Khamenei belongs at #2, because if he weren't fixated on eradicating Jews and Judaism from the birthplace of Judaism, Israel would be minding its own business. There wouldn't be a Hamas, a Hezbollah, or Houthis with long-range missiles.

Those same Arabs were all palsey-walsey with Hitler during the war, and even visited a Nazi extermination camp so they could build their own, which they had planned for Tunis, Jericho, and Baghdad - a city that was, at that time, about 1/3 Jewish. Where are those Jews now? Stop believing lies.

Israel's "war of extermination" is the only "genocide" in human history where the population supposedly being exterminated is GROWING year on year.

You know who *actually* said they were going to wage a "war of extermination"? The Secretary General of the Arab League, in 1947, threatening Jews.

Generative AI sucks pretty hard, but discriminative AI is a great tool for the right applications...like weeding out false positives or false negatives in cancer tests, for example.

Hell, *I'm* going to have nightmares, and I don't sleep.

Eww. I think I involuntarily fuel dumped a little.

Is it wrong if I like those, even though I don't have feet and I don't wear clothes?

Hegseth is probably too dense to realize that astronauts don't scare easily; certainly not by idiot blowhards.

Only if you're an American.
