Everybody celebrates the trisolar syzygy, whether they want to or not.
Me: dusts off hands Installed solar on the roof, bicycling to work, updated the insulation on all my windows, and drastically reduced the amount of plastic in my life.
Tech Company Next Door: CONSUMES 70 MwH OF POWER FOR TWO YEARS STRAIGHT POWERING AN UNOPTIMIZED AI
Me: Begins flipping through a copy of How To Blow Up A Pipeline
They offer data pacakages that are 50GB (for example) for social media data , and only 1GB for regular internet
In fairness, social media and streaming are absolute data hogs. I could get by very easily with 1GB for the old school message board internet of the early '00s.
No idea how anyone uses internet for business purposes, though.
I live in Oklahoma so I guess I’m not seeing any pride this year.
I suspect we’ll still see people marching. Only question is whether they’re in rainbow colors or brown shirts.
Mormonism is America’s future. It’s the prosperity gospel attached to a powerful lobbying contingent that exists to perpetuate MLM schemes.
If you think things are bad now, wait until Mormons are fully in control of California.
I’m sure France and the UK will be thrilled.
I’ve seen Democrats cackle with glee every time a hurricane hits the Gulf Coast, because “That’ll show those stupid climate change deniers!”
And I’ve seen Republicans making the “keep an aspirin between your knees” joke about abortion every chance they get.
This feels like a country full of people who absolutely despise one another. I don’t know how you operate a social safety net under those conditions.
“We’re winning! We’re winning! We’re making those little liberal piggies squeal!”
That’s all that matters. Policies are a fucking joke. They’re not real. It’s all vibes-based politicking.
They got the satisfaction of standing behind a staunch group of party donors and private sector hiring partners. AIPAC will continue to dump millions into the coffers of your Richie Torries and your Dean Phillips types. They’ll pick up recruits like Wesley Bell and George Latimer, thinning the ranks of progressives in The Squad. They’ll turn ex-Dems into private sector influence peddlers on their behalf. And they’ll continue to work hand-in-glove with the MIC to guarantee enormous sums of money flow into the Middle Eastern arms trade, which is good news for every Dem with a contracting firm hiring in their district (basically all of them).
This might seem like it sucks for the party in this cycle. But its the sort of position that guarantees careers in party leadership and future opportunities at higher office for each given individual party official’s life. Going against AIPAC is a career ender on both sides of the aisle. Going with the flow means you’ll be hanging out in the Senate cloak room getting sucked off with your friends well into your 90s.
Its always curious to read the history of these organizations and how they mutated from civil societies pursuing certain popular social functions to awards shows for celebrities and influence peddlers.
I suppose we could notify the ICC, but…
Genuinely curious to see what Pride even looks like in June. Last year I remember half the parade being hemmed in by cops. And that was under the liberal mayor.
That link isn’t resolving.
American capitalist doing American capitalism Americanly
“Holy shit, this is just like living in the USSR.”
Trump has very nakedly and explicitly said he wants to increase arms sales to Europe and is holding US support in NATO hostage to this effect. This is entirely because the Silicon Valley tech sector has gone long on US arms sales and wants to make the Big Number Go Up.
Peter Thiel’s plan to shove Palantir down the throats of every Olaf, Macron, and Meloni isn’t an insidious Russian plot to reconquer Bulgaria. Its the American MIC trying to squeeze a bit more profit out of the periphery one more time.
I’m going to recommend it be changed to “The Gulf,” since it meets all criteria for a name change - most importantly that it be a name in common usage by locals.
So now when I refer to “The Gulf States”, I’m typically referring to Alabama and Florida and Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
You have drug cartels.

The MAGA brand, at it’s heart, is just saying your policies loudly over and over again and calling anyone who disagrees with you stupid.
This has been wildly effective again a liberal establishment that only knows how to triangulate between whatever two ideas a pair of TV talking heads are yelling at one another.
