Play stupid games… this one will go down in history.

LG was particularly shameless in labeling its load sensing tech (which it has had for years) in washing machines as "AI."

I'm watching to see when they stop calling it that.

Maybe cringe memes aren't such a great place to get political ideas, huh

Usually when I'm on marijuana I don't want to hear any statements at all

Yeah, let's just say I can see why you would be a Katie Porter fan.

Uh

I couldn't possibly care less what "line Silicon Valley is using;" I choose candidates based on whether they would enact policies I agree with or disagree with. Try it some time.

That's the joke, yes

I'll take an economically literate 100 year old man over ten Katie Porters

You're not making me excited about the prospect

Did you understand a word of what I said? I suspect not.

"They have no choice" lol

What grade are you in? How soon will you be starting the grade where they teach you the difference between "I got a good deal from [company], owned by [owner]" and "[Company] has horrible effects on the world and is owned by [owner], who is blatantly evil"?

Genuinely asking, do you believe this?

ICE Arrests 85-Year-Old French Widow Who Married Her G.I. Sweetheart

Not only did the sons probably call ICE on her, the day after her husband died they took their dad's cars, leaving her housebound. Then they rerouted mail, causing her to miss a visa appointment & the utilities to be turned off. Tony and Gary Ross are going to hell.

Even on the Supreme Court, Democrats have no guts.

You seem insufferable. Is this on purpose?

Mill was wrong, though, in that we absolutely do have the right to parade the avoidance. Parade the shit out of that shit

People perceive that prices are batshit high and are getting higher, albeit at a slower pace than in 2021. They further perceive that this is bad. These two insights somehow elude most economists, pundits, and online opinionhavers, but that doesn't make them any less keenly perceived by the public.

Wishcasting doesn't make things so.

I am going to be really really angry if it comes down to yet another crusading billionaire vs. the economically illiterate Katie Porter.

You can be as smug and condescending as you like; it doesn't make your delusional theory any more true.

You've already told me how fascinated you are by the subject. You're still wrong.

Magyar now polling third in the Iowa caucus.

LA. I see the boat dealers and dentists too, but they don't have loud music, just loud pipes. Neither do the actual outlaw MCs obviously

It wasn't. She was an obvious right wing grifter

Oh, I'm afraid it very much won't be

These regional differences are fascinating, out here (SoCal) the motorcycles with loud sound systems are overwhelmingly ridden by black and latino guys. The trumpy white guys have loud pipes but no music

This is why nobody likes you

In Southern California the loud motorcycles are usually bumping old school rap and 70s funk jams (good). Cars are usually bad. People walking around with Bluetooth speakers, universally bad
