Every day is opposite day for ads. The more they intrude into my recreational time, the less likely I am to purchase it. If I was stocking it and they start spamming me, I find an alternative product. I will not end up with a bionic eye that streams Slurm commercials into my occipital lobe.
For me it's that they play all the best parts of the films in the trailers. Most of the time, the rest is slop because the studios don't want to pay for quality.
Plus if I simply wait for it to show up on streaming, I can pause for drink and popcorn refills with clarified butter. 🍿 🤤
I'm enjoying this, personally, because it will absolutely prevent a bunch of enlisted from dying in a resource war when preventable communal diseases start kicking in.
Nothing stops the enlisted from using the base clinic to get vaccines, if their unit medic isn't supplied with them.

No idea, but they can only be impeached by Congress.
Government v2.0 needs immediate removal from any office if an elected or appointed individual or their spouse/friend/relative is engaged in corruption of any sort. We need a citizen watchdog agency with 4-year terms for the citizen board + 2 members of the Accounting Association.
“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”
—Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief American Prosecutor, Nuremberg, 1946
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? Palantir (on Twitter/X) @PalantirTech Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants wo…
They are globally relentless, well-connected, well-funded and extremely dangerous.
🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
My theory is that he omitted " .. into the White House."
I'm getting the urge to build some sort of contraption. Anyone else?
This. Ignorance breeds fear, and functional illiteracy is a huge contributor to this.
The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history
A dark money group funded in the past by Peter Thiel has given nearly $9 million to a GOP-led PAC that is blanketing Virginia with mailers comparing the upcoming redistricting referendum to Jim Crow www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
It doesn't. We decisively fucked up from the beginning and now our supplies are running low, so morale among the people running the machine will be low as well.
Seven years ago, @katieporterca.bsky.social tried to get an answer out of Jamie Dimon. I'm certain that today we can answer for him that yes, he very much wanted his employee, Patricia, to take out a loan.
Poverty is expensive for everyone but the bankers. We must deal with the root of evil.
They're barely literate and can't math.
Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono names the people who have been pardoned by Donald Trump after they have donated to support his campaign and PACs in the Senate hearing on fraud.
"I call it corruption."
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sure, but they like collecting fees and for-profit prison kickbacks more.
We're paying taxes to let slavecatchers continue to execute black children in the street then lie about it.
Imagine having an able-bodied adult child who isn't potty trained.
A few years ago, a memo went out from the multi-billion dollar, religiously controlled adoption industry in the US complaining that they couldn't get enough white newborns to sell. Then they clinched the end of RvW.
Make it even more fun and watch The Plastic Detox on Netflix before canceling over their rate hikes.
Try a thesaurus and a class.
@glaucomflecken.bsky.social This you? 😉
If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.
Shoving every anti-social group in here was a poor decision for us, worked out great for everyone else. 😜
