it's grimly amusing that ice had to call the cops. shooting a gun anywhere near a cop is just dumb as hell though.
Adam GurriThe Prairieland case is a perfect example of the "burn down a walmart" theory of change when you attempt to put it into action. Song says he intended it to be a warning shot, but you can't control what the bullet does after a warning shot. Don't fire at all. www.liberalcurrents.com/prairieland-...
Fauci served at the pleasure of Trump. No amount of senate scrutiny will change that. If he killed 9 million people that goes on Trump’s tab.
Aaron RuparTUBERVILLE: Fauci killed 9 million people FOX BUSINESS: Yeah. We can't prove that, right? TUBERVILLE: We can

the average american republican took horse dewormer because he heard it cures covid.

this reminds me of nothing so much as the perennial promise that we'll have nuclear fusion energy in five years' time. i'm sure they'll come up with a use for the machine that cost 5 trillion dollars to build but it won't be a genie granting wishes.
Dare Obasanjo“What we need to explain to the world: Number one, we are close to creating a genie that can grant any wish. Number two, we are going to make sure that our first wishes broadly benefit humanity” - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI — This is definitely the opposite of Anthropic’s AI kills all jobs pitch.
it's to trump's credit that he listened to fauci as much as he did. maybe uniquely fauci restrained trump's dumber impulses.

there's never been a better time for the dnc to raise money. that they are failing at it demonstrates just how feckless martin is.

i'd have to move if that noise was occurring at my home 24/7. that noise is simply and very literally intolerable. it's at the frequency designed to make me insane. like if tinnitus was being beamed into your skull.
John RogersYou gotta watch the video for the noise. It's insane. Every time I see somebody ask "hey, why the backlash against data centers?" I'm puzzled because those people don't seem to understand data centers are *bad faith neighbors*. gizmodo.com/this-viral-d...
they don't have a monopoly on our grief; those people don't get to dictate which americans can and cannot honor the victims on that anniversary. mamdani is an american and he's the mayor of a city that was attacked.
Aaron RuparMamdani on people who don't want him at 9/11 memorial services: "I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them ... reaffirming that we will never forget."
