The decline in visitors travelling to the U.S. would have been much bigger without the World Cup this year (1.24 million international World Cup visitors). Without the World Cup, the decline in international visitors would have been 3+ million. bsky.app/profile/sema...

The Trump administration's scare tactics ahead of the midterms have hit a usual refrain: "migrant caravan." In reality, it's about 600 people (mostly families) who are 1,000 miles from the border. Just when gas prices keep climbing, Trump world is looking for a distraction. This is their attempt.

love to have a very normal president who is definitely not cognitively impaired

What is it going to do?

It's going to be super intelligence.

What will it do?

Because it's much more accurate. It's going to be a group of very smart people that understand it, who will be advising me. But I will tell you right now, I'm not going to be easy because I'm not going to kill a thing based on phony threats. They said that our country was going to burn down because of global warming. Then they changed the name to climate change because global warming wasn't going. They said that we are going to have some of the most difficult times ever. Global warming turned out to be a hoax. Russia, Russia, Russia was a hoax. Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.

So what is the hoax of AI? Who's behind it?

The whole country is based on fake stuff because these people have Trump derangement syndrome.

Regardless of the merits of data centers, this is not an appropriate use of public lands, because it monopolizes the land for a single private entity rather than keeping the land as multi-use, defeating the whole idea of public lands. Let Valar purchase its own land if it needs space.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

That whole section is unappreciated comedy gold. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/script... PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com

Part 1/2 of a 6-panel SMBC comic update. A priest confronts a kid for falling asleep in church. The kid starts to recite Acts 20:9-11 as his explanation. He says : "And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.”

Part 2/2 of a 6-panel SMBC comic update. After quoting the Bible verse, the kid explains "Paul’s preaching was so boring a kid literally fell out a third story window and had to be resurrected just to hear more sermon, and you’re mad at ME for finding you boring?" The final panel cuts to a later scene, where the priest declares "the scripture memorization prize is officially canceled. We will now be rewarding doing what I say."

Out for a walk today in deep red Texas. Got multiple compliments on my “I’m a Talafreako” shirt. Curiously, *every* compliment was from a woman. Huh. Let’s go! Vote! Make a plan to vote, and execute that plan. Check your registration today - now, even. (Edited 09:44 via @skeetsapp.com)

A man wearing a t-shirt that says “I’m a Talafreako,” poking fun at James Talarico’s opponent - the amazingly corrupt and criminal-loving Ken Paxton who commuted the sentence of a man who sexually abused a 10-year old boy for three years *because Paxton and the man had been friends years ago.* Paxton has also managed to buy several multi-million dollar properties and a $43,000 watch on his $145K government salary.

Paxton tried, hilariously, to make this phrase an insult proving that not only are Republicans criminals, they have no sense of humor. Much like the orange wanna-be king at the head of the GOP.
