Lower taxes for families making under $200,000. He has no excuse not to keep every promise. The Republican Party has the House, Senate and Supreme Court, so he can't blame the democrats for not keeping his promises.

How did he do?

So many data illiteracy issues with their work.

Normally when I wake up from nightmares I feel stupid that my brain generated them.

This time I thought “OMG. There’s a greater than 50% chance of this happening.”

And the algorithms reward these thoughts. They profit off them, so why wouldn’t they?

I dreamt last night that he was tearing down the Washington monument to build a hotel and massive spa.

“Mission Accomplished”

It was all so awful. And actually ended up costing us money, not saving any.

And it harmed so many families. The effects will go on for decades.

That 1/4 of NASA’s budget

This was so painful to read. Idiots tech bros working off one sentence prompts and they did not validate any of the output.

Your Phone Knows Where You Are. So Does the Government. That’s Not an Accident. I know I use a ton of apps that can track my location. Indeed, that can be the primary reason I use a specific app. But for all that I can…

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

I don't know what Trump & the military thought but Russia is Iran’s ally so I wouldn't doubt that Russia would share intel & more with Iran‼️

Patel fired the agents in the FBI who had knowledge of what to expect. Iran has a lot of drones & their cyber ability is great‼️

This is a terrible way to “add drama”

Looks like big between-country differences

A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

I’ve received a phone call and several tweets from space.

I know we’ve been talking about how AI is going to replace us forever now, but “rejecting applicants before they even apply” is not the way I thought it was going to do it. 

With the first Ariane 6 with four boosters, our fleet of rockets is complete 🚀

We will continue to work on upgrades to reduce costs, make our launch systems more robust and launch more often.

For example, the powerful P160C rocket motor will replace P120C on both Ariane 6 and Vega-C rockets.

…

I did laugh at that.

Having said that, customs enforcement isn’t a TSA/CBSA role. They could report it to someone else, but they can’t stop it unless they believe it’s a security issue.

Ah. This was domestic so I could bring a bunch.

I guess I’m confused.

Canadians against all things Trump ... Tony Velez • 2h • 0 Fuck it. Lets do this. Let's go to war with Iran. Trump supporters up front, now you get to go show how tough you are. Boots on the ground. This is what you voted for. Get your fucking asses out there on the front line. Don't be a coward like the felon pedophile draft dodger you prop up. Get up there. Be a fucking man, and suit up. This is your calling and your duty. No women. No People of color. Straight white married conservative men. This isn't DEI. This is your time to shine bro. It's your job to be proud, boys.
