So many people make things a problem when actually the answer is quite simple provided you’re willing to disrupt
Oil blockade? Why not simply have ChatGPT create some oil for you?
Maaybe... I know Anthropic is talking about how it has ethics and cares about human rights, but, bottom line, these people took $200 BILLION in contracts with Trump's government and specifically the War Crimes department... and that is just not something *ethical* people would do.
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.
Oh my god no! The Iranians were developing Trump's healthcare plan.
lawyer randos are just walking into federal court and racking up Ws against the federal government lol gj everyone
We've spent the last seventy-five years making urban planning decisions predicated on the assumption that personal vehicles and the fuel to power them would always be ubiquitous and affordable, and the end of those days is in sight.
I do think it’s funny how many people in Indiana have discovered that they really love wetlands when data centers threaten them but they were completely silent 2 (I think) years ago when the legislature removed wetland protections to build suburban subdivisions
every last one of these people need to be tried and jailed as the goons and criminals they are. No exceptions.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
"Oil prices are up about 50%. You should expect gas prices to rise about 50%... Gas... about $3 a gallon... you should therefore expect gas to be a bit above $4 a gallon...
So if you get an opportunity to stop by the president's gas station when he's seeing it at $2 a gallon... definitely fill up "
The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.
Over and over, the patterns repeat
espn decided this was an urgent matter they should push to the Home Screen of your phone asap instead of the inane ramblings of an elderly fascist with soggy cardboard for brains
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
circling back on this, they did it
Also worth noting that the author of this piece is Aaron Renn, who co-founded the American Reformer and has ties to a lot of overtly Christian nationalist figures/efforts.

Markwayne. Why not just name your kid Toilet
i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today
I enjoy the act of coasting to a red stoplight or backed-up 4-way stop.
Folks behind me lose their minds.
How dare I not go as fast as I can so I can slam on my brakes to stop and wait to go again?
ABSURD!
Saving a little gas and some wear and tear on your auto's brakes?
POPPYCOCK!
It's so fun.
acknowledging that this oversimplifies things a bit, but:
Barack Obama would not have become president if not for the fact that he opposed Bush's reckless war and Hillary Clinton supported it. That simple fact was important enough to enough people to swing the primary.
and there just no middle ground on any of these things. why do i have to give tax cuts to billionaires just because a large portion of the country is dumb enough to believe its stimulative? we all know its bull shit, im sick of wasting our goddam time arguing about settled truths
trickle down economics is bull shit and if you believe it then you are stupid. great replacement is bull shit and if you believe it then you are racist. vaccines are safe and effective and if you believe otherwise you should be shunned from society
The people who lived through 9/11 and Iraq are approaching their 40s-50s and they’re still treated like immature kids who aren’t worth listening to. We were right motherfuckers, and we’re right to say it
Just thinking about how, before buying Paramount, Ellison's time at Skydance was so mid-to-bad that Paramount executives had to tell him that his taste in movies is garbage. www.vulture.com/article/larr...
She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point
