Yup, agree completely. Trump will veto most of it, but he’s a craven narcissistic populist in addition to being a fascist. El-Sayed’s suggestion to call Medicare for All “Trumpcare” may in fact be all the ego-stroking needed to make the difference. Either way, if he vetoes everything, we can go into 2028 with a clear demonstration of what needs to happen and who is in the way of it.

Nihilists: People who haven’t embraced nihilism are crazy!

I’d throw Trump in there, but somehow it’d be both elder and child abuse.

Correct, it was a totally meritless lawsuit that Paramount (already with Skydance in the driver’s seat, pre-merger close) settled with a nice big fat bribe.

I know Trump has his pardon just waiting for a signature, but considering he violated international and Pentagon law by killing defenseless survivors, this is pretty bold to just admit mens rea for criminal conviction purposes.

Pretty useful for sentencing too.

Yup, people in this thread are quick to blame the voters. Most voters, unless taking extreme preparations beforehand, were aware there was a ballot measure to tax the rich, but probably very confused by the three ballot measures and how they would interact.

I suspect Gavin Newsom is having a laugh on a yacht right now with quite a few billionaire friends (figuratively, maybe literally). They wanted to confuse voters with scary language, and they did, by spending hundreds of millions of dollars in disinformation. Musk probably is furiously taking notes.

Not until January, and there’s still a chance (call your congresspeople) not then either.

He was told by a Trump flunkey named Matt Memoli that if he didn’t clear out entirely, he’d be publicly blamed for funding research at a lab in China where the COVID virus was allegedly “cooked up.”

How do we know this administration is staffed by the worst people, when the adage says there’s always someone worse? It’s because they keep outdoing themselves. Somehow there’s always one more story about what they’ve been doing that’s so unimaginably evil it keeps surprising you.

Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan read social media posts reacting to Tuesday’s midterm election — in which Democrats took control of the House and Senate and won key governors’ races — on Thursday’s episode of their I’ve Had It podcast.

They both cracked up to a post that read, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.”

The clip has since been cut from the episode, and the two apologized for laughing at the joke. But the damage has already been done.

They didn’t even make a joke, they just laughed at one?

Conservatives: The left hates comedy and are snowflakes, and also don’t you dare laugh at the mere implication of something that upsets us.

That’s just what happens when you hit 88 miles per hour, unfortunately.

It’s really strange, we pay these people to act as our representatives full time, drafting and proposing and voting on legislation. So why don’t we see more action?

I understand that when the GOP controls congress, nothing is going to come up for a vote unless they’re certain they want it to. But Democrats could still be introducing bills and spending time trying to force public awareness. And for a Democratic controlled congress even if they can’t control the presidential veto, like we’re about to see, why on earth shouldn’t they be passing major bills every week or two? Even if the president vetoes them, that is how you keep voters’ imagination and loyalty from drifting to the GOP, so I really hope that’s what we see.

Yet somehow I suspect we’re going to get into the driver’s seat and hear about maybe two or three bills a year, all attempted to be “bipartisan.” That’s why I’m so anxious to get Jeffries and Schumer out - they can’t imagine Congress acting any other way.

In fact, the AI data centers can better use that energy. If only there were some way we could capture the energy our body inefficiently generates and use it to help the data centers, almost like a battery.

We could even feed back some of the energy we give to the data centers to put our minds at ease, perhaps by simulating a matrix of stimulus approximating, you know, the height of human civilization…

I really enjoy some dry journalistic homicide.

That’s why you need an instant indexed search tool like Everything.

(I know this is a joke thread, I just love this tool so much - I have 5 million files on one computer and to have it instantly search filenames taking next to zero resources, as a totally free offline tool, from a time before subscriptions and bloat, warms my cold heart and I want to share that feeling.)

Yup, if this doesn’t continue deflating, it could just signal to semiconductors not to increase capacity to hedge against oversupply, while they continue to focus entirely on the data center market.

That’s not nice!

Probably 10% before right wing AM radio, Fox News and Facebook. Now, yes, we never ever go below 30%…

That’s why they call him Hakeem “If I’m still on my side of the aisle, I haven’t reached far enough” Jeffries.

She’s not Jensen Huang’s cousin for nothing.

You monster! She’s clearly grifting to cope with the pain!
