“There is no room in the hallowed halls of Congress or in any place of honor for memorializing men who embody the violent bigotry and grotesque racism of the Confederacy...”

So..unions for ‘labor’ are ‘bad’ but unions for ‘corporations’ are ‘good.’ Smells like hypocrisy to me. No wonder Republicans and Corporations get along so well....

Just remember: if you’re going to steal, don’t steal from the wealthy. Those petty, vindictive motherfuckers have the ear of their governments, and they absolutely will use their governments to destroy you. Better off stealing from the poor. Nobody with any power or authority to hold you accountable gives a shit about…

It’s probably a good idea in general to just, you know, not bring food or drink into any bathroom, public or private.

You’re fooling yourself if you think this AI and automation drive isn’t going to beat out ‘traditional’ artists for anything but the purists and people doing it just for fun. Because the reality is that the demand for the *PRODUCT* of ‘creativity’ vastly exceeds what people are willing to pay for it in the quantity…

Wouldn’t be the first time government officials have targeted people of color in ways similar to this to surreptitiously steal their home and property. And we’re not even talking ‘in the past’ kind of thing of generations ago. No, this kind of shit happened recently. I recall an incident of an official artificially…

So much this. A lot of these kinds of laws and policies might not target black people *directly* but the intention behind them remains wholly focused on causing social, economic, and financial harm to black people. Things like Redlining and Anti-Black HOAs are unconstitutional in today’s America, but that hasn’t…

The Line — built by the labors of many living, soon-to-be, and now-dead slaves! It’s grrrrrrrreeeeaaaat!

It’s a politically motivated witch hunt. Plain and simple. The ‘complaint’ isn’t that she’s done anything unethical or illegal but that she’s a democrat and progressively outspoken, ie a target for republican intolerance and rage. And since it’s basically a foregone conclusion that their ‘investigation’ won’t find…

It’s certainly a missed opportunity with live-performance venues. You can cram a whole lot more people into same the theater/arena when thousands of them are ‘sharing’ the same seat. It’s one of the few places where VR can truly shine. You get a lot of the same experience without the hassle of traveling there and back…

The premium tier could include a VR-cast version that let’s you experience the performance as if you were there, in person. Perhaps as a special ‘reserved’ front-row VR seating option.

Everyone should be part of a union. Hell, the whole country’s workforce should be unionized.

On The White Lotus, Aubrey Plaza steals the show

It’s another mark in a mountain of evidence that housing should be tightly regulated and not a for-profit industry, much like healthcare.

The ‘prank’ was fine and in good humor...right up until he confronted her about her involvement and she lied to cover it up. That’s when it changed to being vindictive. So unless *HE* did something to deserve being harassed and tormented, that kind of behavior is absolutely not okay. Yes, there’s a fine line between…

SBF is still a free man while FTX users want to know where the billions went.

Trick or Treat with Loki.

You mean other than the oldest ‘technology’ in the world — slavery — used exclusively to build the entire city in which the world cup is taking place, and which FIFA leadership was totally fine with and knew in advance would be how all of it was going to happen.

Let’s be clear — the people doing these kinds of things aren’t ‘hackers.’ They’re elite soldiers in the newest form of warfare between nations. They’re no more ‘hackers’ than the US Military’s soldiers are ‘terrorists.’

Sort of reminds of AP rounds from Fallout 1 and 2 -- not effective at damaging armored targets. Not at all.
