Silicon Valley and dehumanization. Name a more iconic duo. Seriously, though. Every part of the human estate that technologists touch turns to shit or gets pilfered. Throw this on the pile.

I was really gobsmacked listening to the Ultra podcast by Rachel Maddow about Nazis infiltrating the government during WWII. The parallels were so frighteningly similar to today, but in a way reassuring in that some things never change. There will always be schmucks in politics trying to ruin everyone’s time. The struggle for decency is perennial.
We’ve known this since February 2022 when the Russians were shooting at the goddamned Zaporizhzhia power plant. It was on fucking live TV. Nuclear terrorists, the lot of them. Disgusting pieces of shit.
I’m enjoying Ultra. It’s about Nazi infiltration of the government during WWII. It’s very well done.
Also, Lawfare and the related podcasts are never miss for me.
Bo Jove, I think he’s got it!
I still maintain that the live feed I saw of the Russians shooting at Zaporizhzhia was the scariest thing I’ve ever seen on TV. It was scarier than 9/11. It apparently continues to be so.
They also still owe us for 9/11.
Never forget the Saudi crime family is responsible for September 11th.
Wow I ignorantly assumed this was an American problem. I feel better/worse knowing that it isn’t.
Who gives a shit?
France is a MAJOR ally of the US. They’re our OG ally. It’s also an important democracy in the community of those, and they play an important part in defending our shared interests. The potential incoming French government is seriously unsympathetic to any of these alliances, democratic values, etc.
In other words, an old friend may be about to turn Mr. Hyde on us. There’s not much we can do.
Growing up, we always had a rotating selection of newspaper cartoons on the fridge. I think it’s the same.
The only one I remember was a three cell cartoon, each frame identical, with a goldfish in a bowl just looking out. In the third frame he has a thought bubble: “I keep thinking it’s Tuesday.”
Tell me when they have a way to remove it from my cell supply
Plans? That’s the scandal. By wiping out the stability of the climate, these oil fuckers have nullified ALL of our plans. Effectively they have ruined everyone’s ability to plan for ANYTHING going forward. It’s a crime against time and it’s inhabitants. The scale of the violation is incomprehensible.
Hmm, I just can’t tell the difference between this normal US President and this psychotic shrieking banshee. I guess they’re just bowls of poison. Oh well.
