If the only way for companies to survive is to latch onto the sewage pipe of AI lucre, capitalism has failed. Congrats, everyone. Time for socialism!
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

MTG genuinely broke with Trump over the Epstein thing--which makes sense, given her QANON ties.
Now she's trying to set herself up as "MAGA without the worst of Trump". Which is, you know, better than "MAGA with the worst of Trump", but still is a long way from good.

But she's never done stuff like this before. That was the problem.
Not saying she's changed but something has.

A good rule of thumbs is that if a country doesn't have a strong enough opposition to unseat their own dictator, they don't have a strong enough opposite to fill the power vacuum if you do it for them. Something you'd think the US would have learned after like the 15th time this century.

The best proof that we don't actually need a Senate is that senators themselves never know anything about anything. Get rid of it, use the space for a puppy day care center. Everyone will be happier and get more done.
COLLINS: Do you disagree with Trump's pardon of the former Honduran leader who was also indicted and convicted?
RICK SCOTT: I don't -- I never -- I never met the guy and I don't know anything about it
COLLINS: But do you approve of that pardon?

Here is the Department of Homeland Security touting this new ban by describing the (among others) spouses and children of U.S. citizens coming on visas as "foreign invaders."
It has never been about legal versus illegal. They hate legal immigration. They want to stop it. That's the story.

Almost every problem we are dealing with right now can be traced directly back to this fucker right here. People want to talk about the confederates were never appropriately punished for the Civil War but bc this man was likable, America has never really even acknowledged the harm he caused.

Neither Schumer nor Jeffries could be bothered to decry Trump’s pathetic remarks about the Reiner family? They gotta go.
Note: spare me your pseudo-sophisticated bullshit about how the remarks condemn themselves or not getting sucked into a distraction. I will react poorly.

The fact that not a single reporter tells Mike Johnson “let me read it for you” or “here it is” when he claims he hasn’t seen or doesn’t know a thing about the psychotic ramblings of the head of state is not only a dereliction of journalistic duty, but a display of pure cowardice.
