Especially when the alternative they were considering was having Scheme in the browser.

Thorium’s not bad.

I hope you hung up on her after saying “yeah, yeah, Cassie, whatever.”

They should replace it with one in this style. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/media/images/62450000/jpg/_62450358_restoredfresco.jpg

Behold the lumpenmagatariat.

He’s probably got some flunkie with Albert Speer ambitions. Monumentally ugly buildings where he can hold his monumentally ugly rallies. Crappy sub-Kincaid art. And shitty musicals, mainly from the 50s, as mentioned in the article.

The UK is not being even-handed about this either. There was a “Labour is antisemitic” scandal manufactured by the right-wing press during Corbyn’s time as leader, he didn’t handle it decisively (and Labour centrists did all they could to make him look complicit), and now Starmer is shit-scared of similar accusations. That has played out as suppression of any pro-Palestinian protest.

They’re trying to make not liking Trump a mental illness in one state so far

The sponsor (a Republican) has been arrested for soliciting a minor, and MN’s governor would have vetoed it anyway. That was just bigotry-signalling to toady to Trump. I’m sure they’ll try again, but that instance had no chance of success even before its author got done for allegedly being a nonce.

Himmler probably wanted to “cure” gay people, then draft them into the military. And also it’s wrong to assume that there was a rational basis for Nazi “science.” Much of it was pseudoscience that’d make RFK Jr’s idiocy look rigorous in comparison.

The intent of shooting up a power station was to deprive a very large number of people of electricity, which will directly harm some and could potentially kill a few. That’s not quite the same as vandalizing a large retailer’s inventory. Who’s going to be injured or died if a few cars get written off?

doesn’t it pretty much fit the bill as terrorism?

Hasn’t the Trump administration repeatedly said that Musk has no official political role? Then how could an attack on Musk’s property be violence or intimidation for political gain?

And it’s easier to manage and track a dozen bribe checks rather than several thousand.

Two intrinsic problems with the current implementations of AI is that they are insanely resource-intensive and require huge training sets. Neither of those is directly a problem of ownership or control, though both favor larger players with more money.

There will be an app that all the NGOs will have to buy. You can be sure it won’t be standards-based or in any way interoperable. That’s the grift.

Just like Putin.

It’s well past time.

If you really want to help, arm immigrants.

I have a modest proposal too-- involving billionaires.

Yeah, they trade on their family’s money and connections, and don’t really know how to do anything but what to kiss and when. Scum of the earth.

Count yourself lucky. I’ve been in the business a shockingly long time and I’d say most of my peers leen towards the right, though more are libertarians than are MAGAts.

Yes, there are things even worse than libertarianism.

And some of the most radical lefties I’ve met in the business are very senior, some C-level. I’m not sure what to make of that.
