Really happy for Hungary

Had different siding/window vendors near me doing quotes; all of them are giving me a final cost number ONLY w/ ZERO breakdown. What the actual fuck. Is EVERYONE just crooked AF now? Only one didn’t try to get us locked in w/ a “expires when I leave today” “special price”. Fucking shadyass bullshit.

“A ban on mask-wearing by officers and requirements for judicial warrants for immigration raids were among the demands left out of the final deal”

MOTHERFUCKING HELL, DEMOCRATS, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Nvidia Answers my DLSS 5 Questions YouTube video by Daniel Owen

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame.

TL:DR, they sped up slop.

youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

I can only hope gamers definitively and soundly reject DLSS 5 for the AI Slop Garbage Generator it is, with extreme prejudice.

NVidia’s Huang telling gamers they’re wrong tells you all you need to know about NVidia’s real feelings about gaming and gamers.

Fuck that shit. Just say HELL NO, people.

It is objectively extraordinary to see Israel literally invading Lebanon to permanently occupy it, with no complaint or even remark from the rest of the world. The pretext is as thin as Russia's for Ukraine.

What a deeply incompetent & selfish US “administration”.

We remain a deadly fucking joke globally. Run by idiot clowns, who don’t give a shit about anything but themselves.

RELEASE THE FULL UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES

I’m a veteran. Fuck Trump & this total-loser gov’t.

Just…embarrassing.

I really wish the Democrats would stop putting up corporate, right wing candidates who refuse to enact the will of the people voting for them.

Start telling the Democrats to be better, not just the lesser evil.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

After watching Bad Bunny’s halftime show I’m so proud to be an American. Puerto Rico represents! Beautiful Spanish language, people of color filling my TV screen. This is what makes America great and it’s what I will always fight for.

Or... Hear me out on this one... We stop having political dynasties.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

Concentration camps:

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

Awesome! Take care! :)

I wish you the best—two of us here is awful and I can’t imagine doing it alone! :)

The gas + flashbangs combination is especially outrageous. When you're stumbling and choking on tear gas and the crowd surges away from a flashbang grenade, falls and tramplings get a lot more likely.

I've seen videos of the indiscriminate use of tear gas on a large crowd that was clearly peaceful and filled with Portlanders of all ages, and well off the macadam facility. We banned tear gas for a reason. I join Councilor Green in calling for enforcement of our laws.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

No funding for ICE or other terrorist organizations. It's that simple.

The orange felon is now suing both the IRS and Treasury for $10B over some made-up frivolous bullshit.

The scumbag has turned the US Government into a weapon aimed at his foes as well as his own personal money laundering operation. Blatant corruption in broad daylight.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

America, throw the entire administration in prison.

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.
While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.

OMG we are barely three weeks into what was a new 11/12-week old chiweenie rescue & it has been a special kind of hell. Worth it in the end I’m sure & she’s as sweet as can be but wife & I are completely exhausted. Esp. the wild days, which seem to be upping in frequency. Best of luck to all of us.

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

DHS: Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE. If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.

straight up Gestapo shit

Spectacularly pathetic. Minnesota is being attacked. The federal government literally said “ICE > MN.” We are shot to death in the street and are deemed terrorists the moment the bullet enters our back. And these self-styled Minnesota civic leaders can’t find it within themselves to pick a side.
