Yeah, but they react to it by doubling down on their support rather than reevaluating thei priors.

What are some good alternatives to a likely soon-to-be fully enshittified Strava? I use the free (non-subscription) version pretty frequently to track runs and bike rides, but I'm not too concerned about the social media aspect.

I read that as a post-office career at the post office.

I forgot about that guy. Kootenai County, ID. Definitely not his first rodeo. Should hire him as managing editor for The Atlantic.

The thought police only have jurisdiction over actual thoughts. This like when actual police pull over a SovCit going 15mph on I-95 in a car with cardboard plates and and no windshield. "I'm a free man traveling the land! You have no jurisdiction on the high seas! The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo..."

This is a good wiki article to keep every time there's a fire in LA and everyone says "why don't we just pump it from the Mississippi? Why not irrigate a little less alfalfa?

Chobani yogurt company sues right-wing radio host Alex Jones Chobani filed a lawsuit against right-wing radio host Alex Jones, accusing the conspiracy theorist of publishing false information about the company.

Will there locals be as concerned as they were with Sharia Yogurt?

He's not quite smart enough to write a smart book, but he's just smart enough to write a dumb book that makes his audience feel smart.

I just stumbled across this banger last week. Dylan Earl. Song starts off "I'd rather be a boot legger than a boot licker".

The "hallucinations" are the point. They want wrong answers because that gives them permission to cut VA contracts without the accountability, as in litteral accountint. They had access to correct numbers. They needed wrong numbers to justify their actions.

The lying happens when you choose to accept the slop answers as credible and then use them as permission to take a desired action that you otherwise would not have cover to take. It's an engine of dishonesty.

What amount of exploration has been conducted so far, and how close are they to proposing an actual mining operation?

Maybe call them "Crusaders" because they ransacked a Mediterranean island en route to the middle east.

This looks very much like insider trading. The stock jumped 215% after hours.

And by enthusiastic, I mean a sometimes tenuous grasp on reality and prone to taking direct action. This could be an issue that unfolds in surprising ways that drives news cycles rather than late night monlogue fodder.

I haven't read the actual horse slaughter article, but the BLM is changed with managing wild horses and is facing some grim decisions in the face of budget cuts at wild horse holding facilities. Meanwhile wild horses have enthusiastic advocates who don't break along typical partisan lines. 1/2

I would say it didn't work because they barely did it. It's like quitting exercise because you don't have dashboard abs after 2 weeks of halfheardedly doing situps and switching to diet Coke.

This isn't stupidity, it's performative assholery by a person who knows there are plenty of white people ready to throw money at any black face willing to tell them it's okay to entirely miss the point.

Leave some unfathomably disgusting tennis balls from the dog park next to the barbells and see if anybody takes them up.
