Folks in the US are both comfortable enough and unsteady enough that they will not move. It was Zizek about a week back who said it, people are not desperate enough yet to get to this stage. *** sniff! ***

The thing that saddens me isn’t a headline like that, it is that there will be more like him afterwards. :(

Turns out I just posted this further up the page with different wording. 🙃

Once is a mistake, twice is a pattern.

There is someone who works a new stand. Everyday an elderly man walks up to the stand, looks at the news papers and the walks of in disgust.

Eventually the worker stops the old man and asks him “Why do you do that every day?”

The old man says “I am looking for a specific obituary.”

The worker says “But the obituaries are in the back on the new paper.”

The old man says “Not this one.”

A thousand times this! It isn’t the popularity that is the issue, it is the economic model of exploitation.

The temporarily embarrassed millionaires will never have that dream fulfilled but they can finally become bed ridden masters of chips. What a waste.

Couldn’t they find a picture of earth? I mean the Deep Space Climate Observatory takes a photo of a single side of the planet every hour or so.

Oh I am naughty… Might be using some RAM right now 😉

Live your life as an inverse Altman. What ever he says, do the opposite.

We cannot allow this kind of clear thinking here.

The whole Patriot missiles being purchased directly form the US is because they cannot allow others to provide them far cheaper. Its not about protection, it is the middle taking their cut.

Nah, he does more damage at the White house.

The ABC here in Australia did a great summary of how the Secret service is being stretched by budget and staff cuts at a time when Trump is a big target of Iran.

To be fair the Iraq military has a $10 million bounty on Trump. That can get a lot of people over there very motivated and they would been seen as heroes in their country if they succeed.

I do wonder what the history books will say in a few hundred years after it all get muddled up through horrible book keeping and the power grid being blowup by the sun.

“The king in Orange ‘Donald Jonald Trunp’ made his last stand at his now atlantis style sunken kindom castle of Margarittaville, where he summond dragons of fire and brimstone called MAGA’s.”

Sooo… your saying Reddit is based because they are slowing model collapse?

In case others do se the joke, yes that is a joke.

Ok Sam, give your computers up first and then we will negotiate.

I think it makes for a nice hot take but it need some nuance.

Personally, I am not against kids at all but I am against kids within this system. It seems like for many when they think “Yay kids!” That is as far as the thinking goes, unaware that 20 years later those kids will be welcomed into the daily grind as just another meat cog for the machine. Again this is personally, others don’t have this concern and I am sure many can easily justify it.

The “no kids FU billionaires” is that same “yay kids” attitude flipped. It is an extreme end on a valid issue.

The reason why billionaires are starting to get very interested in the demographic and population issues is because they know that it will spell trouble for their power structure, it is the same reason why they are cuddling up to any authoritarian leaning government as a means to try and cling to power. So a knee jerk reaction is to feed into their fear, it can be fun, but short sighted.

I hope Beef prices go to $1000 a pound so that we can end that horror show of torture on cows and the planet. Wendys be damned!

I would only argue that it was Biden fault because he didn’t step aside earlier. Only giving Harris 2 months run up wasn’t enough to get it across the line.
