You don’t owe condolences, prayers, or thoughts to anyone you don’t actually give a fuck about. Public officials? maybe, not really. You as a private citizen? No way, go live your life. Mourn only the laws that are broken, or any injustice allowed to exist. It’s not that deep.

I won’t vote for him in the Dem primary. But it’s good to see Dems finally fighting back against Trump.

President Macron and Chancellor Merz want to talk to Trump on the phone at the weekend.
So it's another disappointment. Not yet.

This looks like the home of a mafia oligarch or the mansion of a child trafficking boss.

He votes absentee, and no he’s not asked for his license plate number.

Newβ€” Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted β€œwhite power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) β€œfuck you, n***** bitch.”

Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

He better fly south this fall with the cranes or geese. He won’t survive a Wis winter.

They’re also the country’s economic centers. He’s tanking the economy.

My theory is that there are 3 types here:
1. Those who don’t know what’s happening
2. Those who like what’s happening
3. Those who are trying to resist what’s happening

I don’t think there’s apathy. There is, however, a lot of feeling beat down. Unsure how to resist. That kind of stuff.

Measles was eradicated with the vaccine, which is 97% effective at preventing measles.

Antivaxxers are the ones keeping people sick for profit.

The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:

1. Federal grants
2. Private gifts/endowments
3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students)
4. State $

For decades, πŸ“ˆ in 1-3 offset a secular πŸ“‰ in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.

My book group read 1984 a couple months ago, none of us had read it since highschool.
Today’s firing of the director of Bureau of Labor Statistics is earth shattering.

And existing white men "affirmative action":

"Who benefits from discriminatory college admissions policies? White males

more qualified applications from women, who get higher grades and more than 70% of valedictorians nationwide

Seeking to create some level of gender balance, many colleges accept

Pippa decided she wanted to drive today. (My bike filled up the cargo section, so she goes on the floor below the passenger seat)

This happened to me recently. I was having an entire repository scanned for any inconsistencies. The AI then started editing files it wasn't supposed to β€” ones that had been painstakingly written and not yet committed.

The agent was apologizing while actively destroying my setup.
