Sounds like Randy Fine seeks the destruction of others. By his logic, shouldn't they destroy him first? An arms race of hatred?

Guess you don't mind your preferred politician hurting children if they're brown.

Really wild too, because he was already lying. He could have just said "in blue cities" and it would have put the burden back on Thompson to ask a followup. His hesitancy and non-answers betray some serious unpreparedness or surprising unwillingness to lie further.

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

You might enjoy this blog post from an aerospace engineer with experience of building for satellites who gets into exciting details of why it's bad.

Ah, thank you. I was scrolling for a hint and I didn't consider the non-conductivity of a vacuum. I thought the under-sea data centers were neat, if unsustainable, but those work because water does conduct.

How mysterious Texas surveillance network is reshaping traffic stops in Texas The Bexar County Sheriffโ€™s Office case provides a rare inside look that illustrates nearly everything critics say is wrong with the practice of stopping and searching motorists.

You can see how GWOT "Fusion Centers" are being used against citizens already. This is absolutely expanding those powers.

Venezuela's just the first of many, and they're hoping other places will just fold instead of getting into a protracted air and ground war after this one.

And I know what you're thinking: Didn't the creation of Dubai require slaves? Yes! Good point! Noodle on that for a minute.

if I were the type given to conspiracy I would think that AI is the antichrist and the government is occupied by an apocalyptic death cult. Instead I dedicated myself to the immortal science of dialectical materialism andโ€” oh fuck the government is occupied by an apocalyptic death cult.

The thing that kills me about this is that Sam almost definitely doesnโ€™t raise his kids! Heโ€™s a billionaire!

They pay people to do that so they can concentrate on what generates shareholder value: making the rest of us suffer.

He wants YOU to use his lying slop machine to raise your kids.

Do these dudes really think that making kids be required to participate in this faux populism is going to make most of them want to be diehard supporters? I would counter that most teens will say what you expect of them, but will continue with their feelings, regardless of what you want.

"those minorities deserve what trump is doing to them" is an opinion shared by both the worst of the MAGA types and also too many spiteful liberals excited for an excuse to join in on the bigotry. real bipartisan effort

$30B รท ~770k houseless = ~$38k/person. Life-changing money for sure, but that doesn't buy or maintain a house. It barely pays a year of apartment rent in most metros.

We should tax these organizations till they contribute to society or dry up, but let's not make numbers up.

The drawing is of a nude gnome looking for his clothes in his little tree home. 1/2

DistrictViewer This is the official site for viewing redistricting proposals for the State of Texas.

There is this one, its not Google Maps, but looks like it shows enough detail to find out the edges. They provide all of the geo files, so if it would help, I could get this on another platform that might be more accessible.

Youโ€™re absolutely right โ€” you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure.

Nevertheless, comedy is a powerful healing force. My recommendation is to seek out live entertainment. For example, great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up. ๐Ÿ”— Sponsored Reply (Great Clown Productions, Ltd.)
