Taylor also really went for it, beefed it, and only lasted like 3 years selling these things. They sound INCREDIBLE but no one liked them, and those of us who did like them learned that they have a lot of weird electrical issues. Like the ground fuse blowing constantly

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

i'm so sorry we've sent these souls to the moon and they're using outlook?

Israel has said it is not going to leave Southern Lebanon it is going to occupy it. Southern Lebanon has 25% of the area and 20% of the population of the entirety of Lebanon. The BBC reported this brutal illegal invasion as Israel 'keeping control'.

not sure this is a mid-terms winning slogan

Sometime in the next decade overexploitation of Utah's water resources for a pitiful amount of agriculture will cause the Great Salt Lake to dry up and create an ecological and public health catastrophe next door to their biggest population center. For what? It's madness.

One of the ironies of Utah being the epicenter of this is that Utah is not a big resource-extraction state. No oil, bottom 5 for agriculture, paltry amounts of mining. Oregon produces 100x more timber. At the same time, Utah's ecology is extremely fragile and nature tourism huge to their economy.

Stephen Miller demanded that ICE-holes “force confrontations” with protesters because “anti-ICE could not be viewed as successful.” He repeatedly said that protesters “need to be vanquished by any force necessary.” Later, ICE-holes murdered Alex Pretti. #ProudBlue #StephenMiller #FuckICE #AlexPretti

This is fish in a barrel for a democrat with actual courage and big simple policy ideas.

KBJ: what do you do with the fact that children born on US soil to German and Japanese POWs during WW2 were given birthright citizenship? Sauer: well, the POWs were domiciled here KBJ: they're domiciled based on what? Sauer: a permanent home

Surely, this is just about achieving greater efficiency in government

I feel like the court knows they have been marked as Trump shills almost making themselves completely irrelevant in the future of the conservative/fascist project, so now the heat is too high to push the fascism meter right now. Gotta reclaim some of their dignity with counter humiliation.

OK, off early to this circus. I’ll be in the Supreme Court courtroom today for the oral arguments over Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship. There are no cameras and Trump is expected to attend, so subscribe to Law Dork to get my full report after I’m out of court: www.lawdork.com

When the birthright citizenship decision comes out, people will say it could never have gone any other way, that the law was obvious. But the mere fact that SCOTUS took on the case is evidence enough that we are living in a time of democratic precarity.

with the news that Trump has left the SCOTUS oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case, it's a good time to re-up this piece i wrote about birthright citizenship awhile back. www.burnsnotice.com/ending-birth...

'We don't need the Strait of Hormuz' is the new 'foreigners pay the tariffs.'

Neil Gorsuch, most cases: In the case of Protester vs. Tank, I find the protester's family liable for stain damage to the treads Neil Gorsuch, in any case involving Native American law:

this argument is always such a tell that the speaker conceptualizes the US as an extension of Europe, rather than as part of the Americas

One of the most bizarre aspects of the city occupations last year and this winter was the way in which the administration brought random social media celebrities inside its operations to produce propaganda. Through lawsuits and reporting, we're learning more about how that all worked.

This is incredibly important. The Trump Administration's pullback from treating and preventing HIV at home and abroad is a travesty. So much needless suffering and death will result.

Excel is reasonable substitute for a database for the vast majority of business users.

I can see no way that this trend is a bad sign for people’s civil liberties.

The argument that SCOTUS is not a political institution and the justices just call balls and strikes has always been ridiculous but it’s actually useful for Trump to ostentatiously emphasize this point by showing up at oral arguments in a case he brought that has no legal merits.

why fuel prices in coastal areas are under more pressure vs inland areas- see where these tankers originate from- Gulf refiners, who send product via barge/pipeline up the coast. inland areas don't see the ease of moving bbls like this and pay less. big tug of war for product.

In Korean, the word for cowboys, 속기 쉬운, translates literally to “American horse pirates” * read on for more of my all-time favourite translations from around the world (a thread)…

60 MINUTES: When it comes to drones, how quickly is the technology changing? 🇺🇦 KAMYSHIN: The innovation cycle is roughly one week. From the moment you send drone to frontline, get feedback, make changes, and produce new version, the whole process can be as short as one week.

Idiot proofing is needed more in consumer tech and honestly plenty of business tech.

Absolutely incredible watching them run the same playbook on children with ADHD and autism that they did on trans youth.

Always found it hilarious that the UK was like “we are gonna make closer relations with America, fuck the EU.” America is a literal ocean away and doesn’t give a shit about anything that isn’t currently making them lots of money. American companies invested in non London EU headquarters.

Brexit was the first time I remember a country imposing sanctions upon itself. It would be a good thing, amongst all the misery, if this ‘shock’ began the journey towards better cooperation.

“We fucked up everything and fucked up bad on Brexit.” My personal request is that the monarch tender and coin gets scrapped before they are allowed to be halfies part of the EU. “Oh is ok if we give change in pounds” NO. ❌

"Conversion therapy" doesn't work. It never has and never will. All it does is teach a young person to feel shame for who they are and that repression later manifests into unhealthy behavior. Today's Supreme Court ruling will result in a generation of shame and subsequent harm.

yikes (both the strike and the fact that they're posting this)

Also, there is an even lower effort strategy, where they just make something up completely without even bothering with the family tree bs and just feed it the ultra gullible or paid to be gullible compliant western press in English. In Hebrew they brag about their freedom to kill innocents.

Part of the low effort Israeli strategy to smear is if they can find one 27th distant cousin fighter in extremely wide Palestinian families trees, they just say “this journalist is Hamas/Hezbollah linked” no matter what the conduct of the individual journalist or their direct close family is.

"liberals are out of touch with Real America" is and always has been a propaganda psy-op to help conservatives, pushed by the media outlets they control and their sleeper agents inside outlets that they don't.

They all know the war with Iran is going to be the final nail in the coffin of the US empire.

He's getting two almost certainly.

A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

It was just 24 days between when Zuck went on Rogan and talked about how "never again" would he suppress info based on gov't demands (misrepresenting those demands) and when he texted top gov't employee Elon Musk to say "we're all set up to take down info you want removed." I wrote about it here.
