Think in decades because that's how long you're going to have to stay away from Saudi sovereign soil if you criticize him lest you get the bone saw.

I really love that the "all old people are evil" movement might get us a Nazi tattoo senator in Maine and a transphobic senator in Massachusetts instead of two good liberals that I'd expect to toe the party line. It's truly a great thing that won't in any way screw us over.

Long story short, a bridge that carries 90k cars/day (in a state with 1 million people) has been at half capacity for 2 years (creating massive traffic issues) and he refused to fire anyone over it. The bridge failure isn't his fault, but everyone hates the lack of accountability.

I watched Arrival once. It was incredible (and IMO, better than the short story, which was very good). And I will never watch it again because it still destroys me when I think about it and my kids. But I am so glad I watched it.

There’s no need for insurance. If the facility floods, that’s just free liquid cooling baby!

The first AH book I got back in the mid 90s was Gingrich and Forstchen’s 1945. (Being in middle school, I had no idea who he was.)

My grandmother was a hard core FDR Democrat; when she saw me reading a book by Newt Gingrich, she flipped out.

The book was dumb, but it did start my love of the genre

It’s become clear this is now a factional struggle.

Cuomo is a traitor for saying he will protect NYC from Trump.

Schumer is a traitor for failing to control his caucus members that protected the poor by saving SNAP.

Mamdani is a hero for giving Trump a photo op to protect NYC.

It’s hard to take the article seriously when the author can’t make it to the third word without making a mistake. (Nvidia’s earnings were released at 4:20, not 4:00.)

I would normally let that go but the second word was “precisely,” so I feel it’s essential for the author to get it right!

I saw way too many people saying the meeting showed that Trump was less racist than Gillibrand and Schumer on the same day that Trump pulled TPS on Somalis and DHS was posting about blood and soil nationalism.

I’ve seen multiple posts of “Trump is less racist/Islamophobic than Gillibrand/Schumer” on the same day this gets posted and it’s really infuriating.

I would also add Mills getting no credit from the left for telling Trump to go to hell to his face since she’s running against their pride and joy.

Exactly. The "centrist" candidate for the Dem Senate primary in Maine of the was in favor of that transmission line explicitly because of climate change while the "leftist" candidate for that seat was against it!

We’re going to see some key data points in the NTM on question of whether today’s valuations are a bubble: What is the caliber of the Blackwell-trained models that come out in 1H26 (Gemini 3 is a positive sign on that IMO) and are the greenshoots of productivity gains from Q3 reporting real?

I’m pretty sure my kids are half of that.

Fortunately, the music is good so it works as background noise.

Alas, the alpha was dumber than the beta was smart.

The people, in their abject stupidity, decided to give Republicans control of all three branches of government. There’s no way to reform yourself out of that situation!

I found the cornfield where those southern whites that have been neglected by Dems and gerrymandered by Republicans put the socialists.

These institutions were concerned about job losses if they fought. It’s a justifiable concern, but avoiding it created negative externalities that need to be punished. We need to make them more concerned about the cost of surrendering so that the next time they fight.
