Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

I can accept two truths: I personally found his answer to be fairly dogshit, and also, were I a Texas voter this would still be the easiest fucking choice of my life and possibly my best chance in my entire history of voting there to successfully deny a conservative a key seat.

Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.
"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

Man, I look at the sort of stuff people post in right wing spaces like most recently, that movie Citizen Vigilante, and get really worried that there's not really a meaningful way to deescalate with people who've gotten this warped, and I don't think there's a reasonable plan to deal with them

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said. (Published Nov. 2025)

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

The people that use gen-AI and scream about “gatekeeping” don’t really want to make art. They want to be praised and to make money and want to skip the actual “art” process. They don’t JUST want a product, they want everyone to tell them how gifted and special they are, too, for no work!

This is the solution to the Paradox of Tolerance: It's a contract, not a rule. If you break the terms of the contract, it no longer applies to you. If you won't be tolerant, you don't get to be tolerated.

“Regretful“ Trump voters always remind me of the James Baldwin quote: “People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state on innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.”

12.7M acres of solar is is about 82% of the solar required to decarbonize the US in the Net Zero America E+ scenario (there's wind and existing nuclear and stuff in there too, but that's the solar portion). Or we can have 5% of our gasoline displaced.

The ability to buy anything on account of having too much money wrecks a person's brain just like a zero-gravity environment destroys muscle mass and bone density. Human bodies are designed for resistance and they liquefy rapidly without it.
Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.CNN: Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and MAGA donor, is in Rome this week for a series of private lectures on the Antichrist. It’s an event that the Vatican, and the pope, are treating with caution.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "The baby boomers in power, the ones clinging to power right now, it feels like they're literally wrecking the ship that we're all on board and they're destroying our future. It's really insulting to watch the president bully and name-call foreign leaders all over the world."

The director of the FBI just reiterated the Trump uber-message: We can kill you. Alex Pretti was not attacking the agents. If he was resisting as he was being assaulted by them, under no law enforcement protocol is that alone cause for a summary execution. This is police-state tactics.
