Whining about integrity is so fucking funny when the current standard bearer for the Republican party tried to kill his own Vice President to overturn an election.

Again you're just handing a win to Republicans

This is how you get senator ihatebrownpeople from hitlerville Alabama as president.

This might be the most non-ball knowing post I've seen in a while.

Whether or not his name is on it voters will attribute it to Trump.

Even if he vetoes it, they will attribute it to Trump.

Voters think the president has a big dial on his desk that sets gas prices and controls traffic.

You know, people consistently try to compare anti-ai to the luddites who opposed industrialization, but the reality is that Victorian industrialists were not promising an end to people being able to work, even if people's jobs were replaced, that wasn't the entire point.

I can't describe to you how much I hate those little mosquito tone things boomers put in their yards to scare off deer

I'm fully 28, if I can hear it at this point in my life, then the tone is too God damn deep!

Plus the f-35 was only a clusterfuck of a development program, the final product is exemplary.

seems bad!

A thumbnail for YouTube video on the English electric lightning that has an AI generated image of a fighter jet that appears to resemble a mixture of the F4 phantom, F5 tiger 2 the paviana tornado, as well as a bunch of other weird horseshit

This is the same guy who used AI to make a frankenfighter image for a thumbnail on a video about an actually existing fighter, so this doesn't surprise me

I think it's under discussed that closing the strait of Hormuz has gone from the Iranian nuclear option to essentially just another tool in their toolkit.

This is very bad for the stability of trade through the strait.

Flashback to that booktok smut convention where like three separate authors were sexually assaulted because none of the organizers realized that as a porn convention with sex workers in attendance that they should maybe have security.

Yeah, at least be funny about it by being a posadist

I also think there's a big difference between "Russia will swallow, then choke on Ukraine as putins Afghanistan" and "putin will defeat Ukraine and rule it just fine thank you" as most of these types seem to think.

I love how this thread is composed entirely of people who are illiterate, genocide deniers, or both.

I will never forget one of the last classes I had in college was one on Democratic erosion, as a consortium we had students from central European University.

The students there needed to use signal out of fear that the regime would issue reprisals against them.

holy shit he actually conceded

folks, they tell you they’re invincible

they tell you they’re inevitable

they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting

and absolutely none of that is true

I think it's under discussed how in call of duty 4 the Russian ultranationalists are lead buy a comparatively dark-skinned, bearded man, with an Arabic first name.

Like there's definitely some undiscussed racial politics there.

The thing that bothers me is that it'd be so easy to make it a comment about gender and pissing contests without having it become literally about penises.

I find it deeply suspicious that centrist pundits have come to the defense of Hassan, someone who *would not* fucking like them or anything they stood for even a few months ago, just because he's been accused of being sexist

It's almost like their primary prerogative is defending bigotry!

"yeah, so the only place you're allowed to fucking sail is when you are in range of any schmuck with a pair of binoculars and a 152 howitzer" ass minefield

Just because working class people make horrific investments by buying $100,000 toys doesn't mean that they are anything other than toys, or that it is a good financial choice to own them in the first place.

I don't think I've ever seen a policies Taylor made to the Republican base before.

Handing money to Petty millionaires for their actual toys while pretending to be in favor of the working class.

I love it when space libertarians make it clear that the reason why they oppose projects like the space launch system is not because of engineering or mission design concerns but because theyre market fundamentalists who hate the idea of governments existing.

IMO That's just a means of trying to squeeze money out of people.

It basically makes the platform unusable unless you pay for it.

Geez if only visit come a few years earlier we still might have a half gigawatt of clean energy in New Jersey.

As somebody who has family who worked on the oyster Creek shut down I will be forever salty about that

Yes, but why don't we see consistent protests off campus by student groups? You don't actually need to be in the quad to protest?

Like all this is a fantastic case for why protests might have ceased on campuses physically.

But also just because you're a student doesn't mean you can't walk 10 minutes away to protest anywhere other than the quad.

And the fact that they have not chosen to do so is very illustrative

You know I don't act I think it's consistent to say that students were scared off of protesting while we're in the midst of the largest protest movement in world history.

It kind of has to be one or the other.

So, he started and then lost a war but not before threatening genocide and killing hundreds of children

It's okay I'm suuure that PATH transfers out of WTC will be able to pick up the slack. What's an additional 100,000 passengers (and potentially 2 more transfers) between friends?
