Rubio is petulantly annoyed because he gave this big speech in Athens about The Future of Western Civilization -- and coincidentally, on the very same day, his ambassador to Greece gets caught soliciting a donor to pay off her $100,000 credit-card bill.

fwiw if you want to make a strategic case for congressional democrats trying to impeach trump if they take majorities, i think the first step is impeaching hegseth, the bar is lower and the likelihood of success is probably much higher

Sad to hear of the passing of NASA legend Margaret Hamilton - year after year we had hoped that she would write a memoir talking about those pioneering days of space programming, and now she's gone, but her accomplishments will always be with us. www.cnn.com/2026/10/07/s...

Most of AI (in business terms) is driven by a false belief that TECHNOLOGY is what drove the internet and telecommunications booms of the last two decades. Technology unlocked better communication and business processes. THOSE then drove the boom. Tech was a means to an end, not the end in itself.

This is a lie, and it's a lie they've been telling since the 1950s. They push the story that technology will give the white-collar populace 4 or even 3-day work weeks, but that never materializes. 5-day work weeks with exponentially greater output expectations does.

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

I agree with this. The people who keep screaming that it's "cheaper" eat the same depressing, boring food, day after day. I'm not making chicken and rice and sandwiches and stew for weeks on end. Sure, that would be "cheaper" in the long run. But you're eating like a dog.
