Great, so MAGA can crow about getting DOGE checks and Musk and Trump can take credit? How about trying to pass legislation undoing the tariffs? Isn't that Congress's job rather than Trump's anyway? Take back your power! You'll fail at first but then you will succeed!

I think he's just lying myself.

And yet I predict they'll be just fine with it.

He's a known liar.

Are any of those recent? Once they found their woman to blame (Bondi), most of these people patted themselves on the back and went back to fighting liberals online.

I used to think this years ago. I'm over it. MAGA already knows, my friend. They've discounted his pedophilia long ago.

Trump doesn't rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell:

"I mean, I'd have to speak to the DOJ. I'll look at it."

This is so dumb. He's running against Trump? Yeah, I saw DeSantis run in fear, and Cruz doesn't have half the courage of Meatball Ron. Oh well, grifters gonna grift.

It's math, really. The math of networks means things can go negative fast and it takes a lot of work to keep things positive. Small world networks, the prisoner's dilemma, it all goes over my head but I understand enough to know the math is against the project.

Why aren’t elected Dems on Bluesky?? Why are their social media interactions only on the platform owned and controlled by a White Supremacist?

With what money? Trump and his "tariff shelf" and Musk and his DOGE cleaned everything out that wasn't nailed down. The deficit is spiraling. I don't think people are thinking about the reality of having no Treasury and no money. Post-Trump years will be poor years, I fear.

Thanks, John Roberts, for supporting Trump going after those famous insurrectionists ... judges. Great job, John Roberts!

Just hoping the Rapture will take them away from the consequences of their actions. Sorry, no Rapture today, guys.

Give it 2 years, tops.

They don't even have the balls to stand by their own statements. Hollow men who represent a yawning void, much like watching Manos on repeat.

you absolutely did vote for this, you craven dorks

We’ve reached the point where actually centrists didn’t torpedo the Democratic Party because they apparently were never in charge to begin with lol

Thanks for supporting and encouraging this, John Roberts!

we literally split the fundamental building blocks of the universe itself to annihilate cities from the sky

As a writer, as soon as that many words hit my desk, I'd be looking for new jobs. Yeah, it doesn't look that evil, but it's got "I talk long to hear the sound of my voice, and your time is eminently wastable and has no value" stink all over it.

Who the hell are all these rich people who don't realize the average person pays a huge portion of our salaries to the health insurance companies? I think we notice that they're bankrupting us!

The problem with Vietnam is everyone who should've fought had bone spurs.

There's a lot more to do in Western New York than drink Labatt's Blue, but I just can't think of all those things to do right now.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

This whole section really.

Also those demonic sex performances seem to be in demand. I don't make the rules.

Thanks for the info, I was under the impression these were older posts.

We used to do that. Carter gave up his peanut farm. So please treat us as a cautionary tale rather than getting comfortable.

The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future. We drink their milkshake.

“In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian…Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians.”

Thanks, John Roberts. I don't know why you wanted a world where MAGA hunted people in your profession with impunity, but congrats, you got it like you wanted it!

Been offline for a lot of the day so just now seeing they permabanned Link? AJ Link? A person who has done more community activism and organizing than I can reasonably name and one of the kindest, most giving, consistently community-building forces on this website? They fyckiung banned *Link*? jmfc
