He makes a very good point though, which is that if you want to win elections you should talk to people in ways that feel familiar and honest to them.

This. It's people with a painful lack of confidence in their own abilities who use this stuff the most.

This guy has to be some kind of plant. A human false flag op. Nobody is simultaneously that clueless and that Nazi-coded, it's not possible.

Don't believe the bots. Half the reactions you're seeing aren't even real people.

It also gives them the ability to individually micro-target Democratic voters in key swing districts and then harass them personally, electronically, or even financially. You can do a lot of damage when you have a list of names and social security numbers that you've identified as "the enemy".

"Being wounded or killed in any action against an enemy of the United States or as a result of an act of any such enemy or opposing armed forces"

The Purple Heart is for wounded *in combat*. Do you think our troops are in combat with the American public? Specifically, awarded for:

A flow chart shows 17.4 million leave voters in 2016, vs 16.1m remain. In 2025, 5 million of those people have died, and 3 million new voters have come of age. The result (plus some people changing their mind) is 19.8 million voters now back rejoin, versus just 11.7 million wanting to stay out.

Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today:

I think they came off flat and lifeless because of comically bad directing by George Lucas, and a weak script. Not because of CGI.

Those movies could have been SO much better with an improved script and the kind of performances that you'd expect from the star studded cast they'd assembled.

Rosie the Riveter? And she was fictional.

Other than that, it's some home improvement personalities I think.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

You have no idea what the internal construction is of that cable and neither do I.

Those are peripherals, not host devices. By "computing device" I mean a phone or laptop capable of USB host mode. Typically they are released at (or near) the fastest current USB spec available.

The common case is the other way around. Host devices that only have USB-C, with legacy USB devices being plugged in via adapter.

They're the only computing device manufacturer in the past decade that's released a USB-C device at forced legacy 2.0 speeds, so it was a reasonable assumption.

If it didn't support backwards compatibility to classic USB via an adapter, it wouldn't be very Universal, would it? Orphaning billions of devices isn't considered a win, unless you're a device company that routinely cashes in on planned obsolescence.

You have no idea how many users I've run into in the real world who are convinced that USB-C is a 2.0 protocol because their "new phone" is nerfed to 2.0 speeds, regardless of cable. Maybe you're not aware of how people talk about this as they pine for their lost Lightning connector?

Who knows how this particular cable is constructed? It certainly doesn't say. Also, that still doesn't imply that *USB-C itself* is limited to 2.0 speeds, which is the assertion I was originally responding to.

I literally asked the question because the statement I was responding to indicated that all USB-C was limited to 2.0 speeds, which is absolutely not the case.

Hahahaha imagine being a person that keeps a tightly notated list of every single person that's ever disagreed with a minor technical claim online. I can't.

It's a "weird axe" to recognize that a hardware manufacturer releasing an intentionally nerfed handset is bad for consumers?

That cable will likely do 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps when attached to a non-Apple device. The speed is governed by the device chipsets, not the passive cable. The cable just needs to be of sufficient quality.

Except it doesn't. Or wait do you mean the Apple thing? That's because Apple is a terrible company run almost exclusively by lawyers. There's no problem with USB-C itself, it does either 20 Gbit or 40 Gbit depending on devices and cable.

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

Ukraine answered our call for help after the 9/11 attacks and deployed 5,000 soldiers despite not being in NATO.
18 Ukrainian soldiers perished.
Russia paid bounties to the Taliban for every US soldier they killed.
Let's not ever mistake who our friends and enemies are.

"Everyone Drank Raw Milk!" No They Didn't YouTube video by Farm to Taber

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"

That's... usually not the case!

In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.

We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?

DHS’s Neo-Nazi Memes Show the Agency for What It Is From the beginning, the Department of Homeland Security has downplayed the threat of white nationalism while focusing its law enforcement power on groups it deems a threat to an imaginary ideal America.

The message behind this ICE recruitment drive is so casually cruel that it seems like there must be more to it than just some guys got hired at DHS to riff on ideas from white nationalist accounts.
