Oh, just like the “internal bleeding” (a bruise) that Renee Good’s murderer had?

Homeland = Fatherland

March added that many facilities still lack adequate staffing due to an unauthorized prison guard strike in spring of 2025

Cute. I like how March places the blame for low prison staffing on the union, instead of on low wages, cuts to benefits, and ICE recruiting prison guards to go on slave immigration patrols.

The over $200,000,000 that Spotify paid Rogan came from somewhere, and I’m sure cutting employees (and their salaries) was part of it.

And yet, you’re still doing it.

As they say: historians have a word for Germans who supported the Nazis because they liked their economic policies, or were afraid of Communists, or they wanted power, or they wanted the business, or any of a hundred other reasons. That word is Nazi. Historians don’t care what their reasons are.

Fuckheaded Brexit leaders should not be listened to.

Hell, Microsoft and Apple did the same thing decades ago. Microsoft offered computer discounts to high schools and colleges, so that the students would be used to (and demand) Microsoft when they went into the business world. Apple then undercut that by offering very discounted products to elementary and junior high schools, so that the students would want Apple products in higher education and the business world.

The tactic let them write off all the discounts on their taxes, but lock in customers and raise prices on business (and eventually consumer) goods.

“Across the board” - except there’s still a solid 36% who still back him. “One third of your country is willing to murder another third of your country, while the last third stands aside and watches.”

security researchers […] are revealing a collection of vulnerabilities they found in 17 audio accessories that use Google’s Fast Pair protocol and are sold by 10 different companies: Sony, Jabra, JBL, Marshall, Xiaomi, Nothing, OnePlus, Soundcore, Logitech, and Google itself.

Right after they reached deals to sell all of those lovely, long, detailed, crowded-sourced articles for AI training data :(

I’m sure that Susan Collins will be Very Concerned.

"Our country? Go back to South Africa, you fucking Nazi!

Fake news release to cover for that article where they signed up that reporter with no vetting or processing.

Considering that Alexis Ohanian is involved, it looks like he wants another bite at the apple, so it’ll likely go downhill pretty quickly.

It’s stealing our water, poisoning our land, is helping erode trust in institutions and each other, hallucinates, gives bad advice and worse summaries, bothers our hearing, raises our electricity rates dramatically, all but ensures we won’t meet our climate goals, offers us nothing of value, is something none of us wanted and most of us hate, is constantly being pushed down our throats, and is intended to allow the wealthy to access the benefits of the talented while preventing the talented from accessing the benefits of wealth.

AI is a cancer and must be destroyed.

Nope, because once trust is broken (see; Thermocline of trust) n and new patterns are established (see: why do so many Canadians spend time at the New Jersey shore), that’s it. There may be some visits, especially for national parks, but tourism will never recover to where it was before.

Because the US is used to chattel slavery, where someone “owns” the person and the person (in general) is never freed. “Forced labor” denies the fiction of ownership and maintains the illusion that everyone can be free.

[As a complete aside, ancient Rome had a law saying that a father could only sell his son into slavery a maximum of three times.]

1. Medicaid recipients: Name, address, assigned Medicaid identification number, social security number (SSN), date of birth, sex, phone number, locality, ethnicity and race.

Oh, is that all? Gee, I wonder what they want sex, ethnicity and race for…

Were they masked and armed men approaching the vehicle in a threatening manner? Then I don’t see the issue. 18 years of Criminal Minds means you never let the kidnapper take you to a secondary location.

Not sure “hidden” is the right word, but whatever. The link to the map is here.
