2025 Political Rising Stars To Keep An Eye On

LMAO I called Visa’s customer support service - the guy on the other line was like “are you ALSO calling about the video game payment processing? Please send us emails instead.”

Keep up the calls, folks, we’re definitely gumming up their works

Why should the US decide who can have certain tech? Restrictions on Iranian and Chinese technology are about preserving US geopolitical power

A set of screenshots from Gundam: Witch from Mercury, featuring a crowd of Earth protesters, a mix of young and old, male and female, and of all different ethnicities and outfits, looking apprehensively up, a few signs are visible, "We want Economic Independence", "Stop! Justice to Ward Earthians!", and "Stop!"

A set of 5 giant robots in the street looking down on the protesters. 2 of the background robots are flying on giant hovercraft. The lead one raises his giant gun at the crowd and the radio calls, "Mobile suit teams are authorized to use gas shells."

The next shot, one of the robots is lit by flames as the radio calls again, "Suppress and apprehend them."

A news report afterwards entitled, "INN Breaking News: Demonstrators turn violent inside Earth Facility! Earthnian Extremism Rising!" and the inset photo of the protest has highlighted a sign that says "Kills" but the sign actually says "Spacian capitalism KILLS Earthian workers"

thinking about this scene from Gundam: Witch from Mercury, peaceful protesters are attacked viciously by police robots and then the news says the protesters started it #G_Witch

Lol. Lmao.

pics of faces go to databases! careful what you post

third amendment continues to pull its weight as the secret funniest load bearing cog in america's stupid machine

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

When Nobody Comes to Fix the Bridge - Truthdig The decline and fall of a superpower, one piece of collapsed infrastructure at a time.

Every 7.5 minutes, an American man thinks about the Roman Empire. Albeit now with an increasingly dreadful sense of recognition.

Furthermore, I know for a fact that my opponent was a willing participant in the Masked Feast of Blood, and that he himself consumed more virgin flesh than any other at the Black Table. And how do I know this? Ah. Well, you see, ah,

Wikipedia definition of "idiot plot": In literary criticism, an idiot plot is one which is "kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot",[1]: 26  and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case.

How your electric bill may be paying for big data centers’ energy use If state regulators allow utilities to follow the standard approach of splitting the costs of new infrastructure among all consumers, the public will end up paying for data centers’ power.

Big Tech’s AI boom is spiking power demand – and you could be paying for it.

Utilities are striking secret deals with Big Tech to power data centers, pushing billions in costs onto regular ratepayers.

Harvard research reveals how the public is subsidizing it:

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty.

My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

centrist: we need to focus on popular policy

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

Federal employees can not accept a gift of anything valued at more than $20. (training.smartpay.gsa.gov/training_pur...).

Did…did the NYT witness and document a gift transaction higher than that? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/m...

today i found what is probably the sickest vintage pocket knife to ever exist

something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity

we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that

what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

in fiction i will fully buy into the idea that a grey box robot that made a sad-sounding beep is alive and conscious. when the same is asked of me in reality i am revolted. i desire to kick the dancing boston dynamics robots apart

leave aside the horendous failure of the american media to pick up on any of this: you, individually, can be black bagged and deported for saying in america what haaretz reports in israel
