Weak argument. No president reads the PBP cover to cover. It’s huge; it would probably take longer for any one person to read it than it took the OMB to compile it. The President instead depends on staff to outline any major changes and, as in this instance, anything that might be controversial. The story here is that…

a man claiming responsibility for the killings “left a 74-page anti-immigrant manifesto in which he explained who he was and his reasoning for the attack”

This is why I don’t play PvP games anymore.

Too old.

Question for religious folks—Is this:

“After meeting with my crisis management team and discussing the best way to survive this, I now believe it wasn’t me. Gonna pray about it tho.”

RIP. He’s done.

Think about how many jobs Photoshop, Illustrator, and digital printing have eliminated. When was the last time you used actual paste or a real lightboard?

While my profession (Graphic Design) can never be fully automated out of existence, it has definitely been hurt by the rise of the internet and sites like Canva, VistaPrint, etc., that offer up tens of thousands of templates and create a largely idiot-proof system for non-designers to create something that’s “good…

You’ve got to imagine that, as integrated as some of these companies are in the structure of American life, they’ve got to be pretty high on the target list for Russia/China/et al. In the event of a war, knocking out Amazon and Google has to be up there with destroying GPS satellites.

Have to assume he’d be without a teleprompter as well, so omg now I want to watch it.

For what it’s worth, Virginia still ‘celebrates’ Lee–Jackson Day, they just separated it from MLK Jr. Day. Virginia commonwealth offices are closed on the Friday before MLK Jr. Day in honor of Lee and Jackson.
