The Fucking NAZIS are really back. The German AfD party, aka the Nazi Resurrection have in their first few days in power have banned the Holocaust remembrance “Stolpersteine” brass plaques placed in the ground where victims were taken or lived. share.google/JShAv8h9K53d...

German town bans stumbling stone memorials to Nazi victims
Germany's education minister has branded the ban on the small brass memorial plaques a "scandal".

Why? Because when he’s no longer president, if he visits his Irish golf course which is in the EU, the Irish police will loan him handcuffs and a ticket to The Hague for war crimes

It’s going to take decades before our allies trust us again, if ever. Their first reaction will be to “wait and see” whether the US President is as uninformed, mercurial and just plain ignorant as Trump. Even if there’s a four or eight year stretch of a presidency, anything subsequent: “we’ll see”

From the WSJ: “Trump Ramps Up Bid to Dismantle International Criminal Court” My take: Because of his Golf Course in the Irish Republic, which is part of the EU. He could be arrested there and taken to The Hague for a War Crimes trial, and the Irish would do it. They hate Trump too

Why is anyone surprised? The Orange One needs flattery and servility to make himself feel like a man. Kim flatters him because he knows how stupid Trump is and how well flattery works Carney know Trump is stupid and won’t be there forever

We thought we were better than the Germans, “it could never happen here”. But it has, and a half-wit failure of a conman has dragged our country from the mythic “Shining City on the Hill” into a pestilential village adjacent to a landfill. There is a possibility of redemption, or is there?

This fucking Trump guy: “Sikorsky is paying for it and, you know why? Because they didn’t tell us how powerful these helicopters were and they felt a little guilty…” The H-3 “Sea King” has only been around since Eisenhower, and the aircraft every President since JFK has used them. Fucking Tool.

Getting Democrats to unify is like herding feral cats. Every constituency has its own agenda and takes offense at anyone they see as cross-purposes. Labor, environment, civil rights — each treats their issue as non-negotiable. Compromise feels like betrayal.

While I agree with the sentiment, a Constitutional Convention is EXACTLY what the Christo-Fascist Fundie Nationalists want. They see it as their opportunity to become Afghanistan and they’re The Taliban Be careful what you wish for with this one. No guardrails, we get Theocracy without constraints

From your article “The only question is if anyone will ask why increasingly normal people feel the political system is so unresponsive to their concerns that they resort to violence” Because they feel helpless & orphaned by political leaders and parties who only serve billionaires and companies

The University of Iowa has a new pedagogy: The Center for Intellectual Freedom. Looking at the courses they’re offering it’s no wonder the enrollment is low. The mission seems Orwellian, but then it’s associated with Christopher Rufo, the man offended by clean water. apple.news/AeqaB87VxS5u...

It consistently amuses me that the one person who uses the sobriquet “Low IQ” about anyone who dares to disagree or speak poorly of him is probably the proud possessor of a sub-90 number “Often termed "low average," this range is sometimes referred to historically as "dullness," So yeah, checks 💥😂

The next time RFK jr needs to fly somewhere, just grab two random people off the street, their assignment: fly the plane. Because it would have the same outcome that HHS is currently experiencing. Qualification is obviously not required, just a body temperature >97° and no conscience.

My MacPro lasted 12 years, with one RAM/board upgrade and it finally end-of-life’d on the OS. It still runs, does a lot of functionally good things (Lightroom still runs, but the newer AI features are limited). I upgraded to a MacStudio and I’m sure it will be good for quite awhile.
