J.D. Vance Can’t Explain Why Trump Threw Him Under the Bus in Debate
  • He has never given any indication that he did it for moral reasons. He has consistently described service members as suckers and has expressed confusion about why anyone would be willing to serve. Have you ever seen any indication that Trump was opposed to the war in general or is a pacifist or skipped out for any reason other than it is unpleasant and dangerous? Granted, I don’t know that Bill Clinton was super anti-war either, but I guess it bothers me less when the draft dodgers don’t openly mock service members and POWs.

    Enoch Burke: Irish teacher in transgender row jailed for third time
  • Burke accused the court of denying him his religious rights, which included his belief in two genders, male and female. "This is a mockery of justice," he told the judge.

    He can exercise his “religious rights“ to be a bigot, but not at the school and not as a teacher.

    Schumer floats history-making votes on abortion and voting rights
  • Maybe keeping people in office till they’re 80 and 90+ would be less appealing if they had to stay in session for a real physical filibuster?

    Cop went 75 mph in a 25 zone with no lights in unauthorized pursuit
  • A Seattle police officer was reprimanded for driving three times the speed limit without emergency lights and blazing through a solid red light at 50 mph, according to a recently released disciplinary report. Ofc. Ernest Cleaves initiated the pursuit without authorization after a stolen SUV backed into him and drove away.

    The vehicle had a tracker and was being followed by a helicopter. The cop also wasn’t certified for high speed pursuit, even if this was a situation that warranted a chase (which it was not). How bad to cops get to fuck up before they get fired? 75 in a 25 with no lights or sirens? It’s a miracle he didn’t kill anyone (I’m assuming this is a separate incident than the one where the cop actually did kill someone with this kind of bullshit)

    Trump’s unsettling new question: ‘Why are we having an election?’
  • I think he’s referring to the DNC not having primaries. But with a sitting president parties don’t really have primaries to pick a candidate. But since Harris moved into Biden’s place on the ticket, Trump has been whining about how it’s unfair 🙄.

    But then he gets all discombobulated and complains about having to deal with an election even though he was also just made the GOP candidate without any primary elections (I think?). At that point I lose the thread as he devolves into sundowning.

    Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead
  • I love how “weirdo “ is sticking. Trump has been pushing awful, childish nicknames for years and no one has had an effective counter. “Weirdo“ is bringing the mean girl energy and I love it.

    Real Facebook ad that doubles as a god-tier shitpost
  • How else would you explain those companies that put a rainbow on their logo for a few weeks every year?

    Perforative rainbow washing? 95% of those companies still donate to GOP candidates that fight gay and trans rights every step of the way.

    CrowdStrike offers a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for outage | Some of the people said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled
  • It’s really hard to know for sure. Some percentage of elective surgeries or procedures end up detecting something life threatening. If the canceled procedures were rescheduled promptly then the outcomes probably haven’t changed in a meaningful way. But in the US, stuff is booked out months in advance so it may be impossible to get everyone rescheduled for something in the next week or two.

    This is not stonks
  • I read that they send the loser-winner shirts to poor countries. So you go to some random village and it looks like alternate reality sports land. Except no one there probably even follows the teams/leagues on their shirts.

    Malware As A Service
  • Crowdstrike completely screwed the pooch with this deploy but ideally, Windows wouldn’t get crashed by a bas 3rd party software update. Although, the crashes may be by design in a way. If you don’t want your machine running without the security software running, and if the security software is buggy and won’t start up, maybe the safest thing is to not start up?

    A TL;DR of the Goldman-Sachs AI Criticism
  • I wish i knew of a good way to profit off of this bubble. I could work for a company in the AI space, but I think it would be well above my “executives hyping the smell of their own farts” threshold. And shorting Google and Microsoft is a dangerous game.
