It’d be a real shame if somebody posted Trump’s cell phone number on the Internet.

I consumed Neuromancer when I first discovered it, such a great book. Not long ago I met someone who claimed they were hardcore cyberpunk fans, but they never heard of either it or William Gibson. At that moment, it was clear to me they were just poseurs. I began their enlightenment journey then.

I’m sure it’ll be yet another term of un-American horrors, brought to us by this MAGA insanity.

Here’s the thing - anything Trump signs with another nation isn’t binding until it’s confirmed by the Senate. So… just about as useless as the paper it was written on. So exhausted by that clown, he’s such an ignorant embarrassment.

Bad news: it’s more like 1999/2000, but for the entire economy. It’s gonna be bad if/when it all collapses. For everybody.

So point of order: they’d be leasing the entire board the chip is on, perhaps the entire server they’re in. It’s likely more expensive than just the chip. Plus, if they’re doing a leaseback, who will pay the power bill for their use? The leasor or Amazon?

Well at least now Ulysses S. Grant can breathe easy, as he’ll no longer be remembered as the most corrupt President in US history. Also, I suspect that eventually the Supreme Court won’t see his actions as immune as they weren’t part of his official duties, even if he tries to pardon himself.

A lesson on messaging: every single post you do between now and Election Day should say one thing: REPUBLICANS CUT YOUR FOOD ASSISTANCE

Feeling kinda stressed today, RL stuff. Decided to treat my condition with a vintage Looney Tunes marathon of Foghorn Leghorn episodes. All better now. Mel Blanc cures all.

Before people go half-cocked on me: Those are the actual powers of the US Senate. My post is NOT a prediction of what WILL happen. But this is the Internet, so I expect plenty of judgemental kneejerk replies by people with low reading comprehension. Those folks can kindly fuck off.

Those are the Senate's actual powers, it's not a prediction. I didn't set any expectations. I set forth why it matters to win the Senate. Looks like reading comprehension has gone to shit on the Internet (if it was ever there to begin with).

Don't conflate what the responsibilities and powers of the Senate are versus which is likely to happen. Defeatism just breeds acceptance. Fuck that shit.

I'm really missing Joe Biden right about now. How about you? Remember that come November before you make a stupid choice.

But I doubt he'd ever let the public see him like that. He'd do more from behind the Resolute Desk. In his mind, he probably thinks he'd be like FDR - difference was that FDR wasn't a fucking monster like Trump is.

It looks to me like he might be suffering from neuropathy. He's the right age and his weird leg/foot positioning seem consistent with what I've seen personally (my dad had it). If true and if his condition progresses, at some point he'll need a cane and ultimately could end up in a wheelchair.

He couldn’t get any fucking stupider. Swear to god this is what happens when people tolerate all this frat bro bullshit - you get a frat bro government. They were assholes in college, they’re asshsoles in real life, they’re assholes when you’re related to them. This is the stupidest timeline.

Why winning the Senate matters: - Only it can remove a President from office - Only it can approve treaties - Only it approves cabinet Secretaries - Only it can approve military promotions - Only it can approve judges - Only it can remove Supreme Court justices - It must approve all legislation

So we’ve lost yet another military base in the Middle East. I assure you China will find a foothold in the Middle East in the next two years because Trump is a f*cking moron.

That’s what Republicans do. Truth doesn’t matter. Law doesn’t matter. Order doesn’t matter. The Republic doesn’t matter. Only Donald Trump matters to them; he’s their god now.

REPORTER: “Senator Schmitt, any comment about your embarassing performance at the hearing today!” SCHMITT: “Sorry I can’t talk, I have to go blow the President right now.” That’s the GOP in a nutshell.

Having spent a good 15 years building actual enterprise software, I assure you that people that think an LLM with a harness can build reliable bulletproof enterprise software are clueless. Enterprise doesn’t mean big, it means scalable, dependable, reliable, accurate, and secure every single time.

It’s beyond time for Congress to end ALL aid to Israel permanently. Look, I’ve been to Dachau and seen Hitler’s dirty work, nobody needs to lecture me on the Holocaust. But modern Israel is no longer what people seem to want to believe it is. It’s run by a monster and extremists. Enough.
