Another thing is, are you sure these awesome improvements in the latest models are going to make it out as updates to all the applications already rushed out and deployed in everyday life? You know a lot of hospitals are still using windows 95

When we talk about the corrupt Supreme Court, we’re not just talking about Clarence Thomas getting paid off or Scalia doing billionaire junkets. John Roberts’ spouse getting paid by BigLaw firms would also be considered corrupt under federal law for other government employees.

also the ph of it is like 9 something so that's what they were talking about with the burning and blisters and stuff on her arms what likely happened here is the IV lines failed and they delivered a caustic substance directly into this woman's soft tissue which burned badly before it sedated her

This is somehow even worse, and dumber, than I’d imagined. If you are visibly non-white, you can never be assimilated, but a few tokens may be allowed to remain after systemic psychological abuse locks you into reactionary fawning mode, which you must regularly demonstrate.

Texas is basically saying it wants to encourage fraud as a matter of public policy and you should keep that in mind whenever you see a large firm incorporated in Texas

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault
Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

Or the fact that it was Biden's DOJ that oversaw the prosecution of **Bob Menendez**—or launched the investigation of Eric Adams! None of that mattered. People screaming about the politicization of the DOJ under Biden continued screaming the same thing.

The 2005 bankruptcy law has been requiring everyone to take two financial counseling classes to file, and a generation later, I can’t believe we’re doubling down on that. Telling people who have to live by short-term calls for a treadmill of crises to plan longer term is not. actually. helpful.

I’m trying not to be pre-enraged for the 2028 primary, where you all are going to debate whether to get behind the candidate who promises you more opportunities or the one that will blow up Trump’s arch on pay per view, and reinvigorating USAID will just be an “uninspiring” and ignored bullet point.

Holding college rapists accountable w/ expulsion & in the justice system: 1.) doesn’t ruin the lives of “promising” young men; it prevents them from terrorizing ppl from even higher positions of power & 2.) would make campuses much safer, since most rapes are committed by serial rapists.

The GOP literally cut funding to IRS enforcement so more people could commit tax fraud.

It cut funding to IRS because the assumption that the way to catch tax fraud is to hire tens of thousands of auditors to look through paper tax returns by hand is insane
