Somebody has to do it, and waiting for the death of the filibuster to have anything get done is a terrible idea

a knave

This reminds me of that 4chan story where someone joked that their friend’s mom was a whore. Then turns out their mom worked in the field. And there was a film shot 9 months before his birthday

Ghoul-som?

They were talking about terrorism. Put that in the headline.

The conclusion of the report looks like they are all in on saturating their university with ai use

You know, this is the way we get a perpetual wealth tax. Dividend checks out to every citizen based on how much wealth we squeeze out of their pockets.
Like the alaska payment - but raping the pockets of the rich instead of raping nature

He’s cost us that much in fuel duties and tariffs. Dem line should be they going to reverse that, then give more money back in tax breaks to midd class

What a shithead

Make sure that whatever you sign is clear on whether you are being fired or resigning. You don’t get unemployment when you quit.

Children are just as evil as adults

What is stopping someone from flying to mexico, buying an EV there, and driving it back and getting it registered?
Some states may have safety regs, but some mid-america states don’t seem to give a shit about what you drive where.

This seems like a much bigger deal than the news has portrayed. It seems like Trump feels like he can’t do fun things (bomb Iran) because of the oil stockpile. So he is doing anything he can to try to show markets that he has oil so he can get back to doing fun.

Consumption of US is 19.4 million barrels a day.
https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/oil-consumption So 65 billion seems like a lot.

However, “The bulk of the country’s petroleum is made up of heavy, sour crude oil—a dark, gloopy, acidic substance that is both high in sulfur and relatively difficult to recover. This type of crude oil is very useful in asphalt production, but it needs to undergo a longer refining process to be made into more lucrative products, such as gasoline and other fuels, compared with lighter crude oil” https://www.britannica.com/science/How-Much-Oil-Does-Venezuela-Have-and-How-Much-Is-Accessible

If our processes are set up to process one type of oil, can we even switch to another type? How many refineries can do it? How much is wasted in the process and what is the rate? This seems like everything trump does: effective on a first glance but the moment you start thinking or asking questions it falls apart

Postcards have lower postage rates than regular letters.
Also harder to ignore a card that just says ‘fuck you’ on it in sharpie. For more fun: imitate the vibes of the local utility bill in a letter but fit a lot more fuck yous inside

According to Brent Staples’ essay from a few decades ago, about how to not be seen as threatening as a black man in the US: “And on late-evening constitutionals I employ what has proved to be an excellent tension-reducing measure: I whistle melodies from Beethoven and Vivaldi and the more popular classical composers. Even steely New Yorkers hunching toward nighttime destinations seem to relax, and occasionally they even join in the tune. Virtually everybody seems to sense that a mugger wouldn’t be warbling bright, sunny selections from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. It is my equivalent of the cowbell that hikers wear when they know they are in bear country.”

he had a good run. guess thats over now.

It’s a wonder that the agency that installs dictators doesn’t care about human rights

It questioned Mr. Biden’s decision to seek re-election in the first place: “Is there a single point of failure for 2024? Perhaps it is a decision of the President to seek re-election instead of passing the torch.”

It analyzed the party’s loss of support among Hispanic, Black, Asian American and Native American voters, which had been mostly missing from the public draft.

And it pointedly raised the concern that most senior Democratic strategists in 2024 were “financially secure” and thus removed from the challenges facing many Americans. “It is therefore possible the people ‘in the room’ at the highest levels of 2024 decision making misunderstood the mood and practicalities facing everyday America,” the report read.
