I was a grad student in NC, I'd (white guy) be sitting alone at the bar having a Guinness, couple other whites dudes take a seat, start chatting, 75% of the time the racial jokes start after the second beer.
I've made it a game of copy/pasting entire statements Republican politicians have made about healthcare into threads about police brutality and civil rights and getting multi-day suspended.
It's everything that pizza-gate was, pizza-gate was the mis-information campaign designed to normalize, and muddy the information that was going to eventually come out.
Some people are so unbelievably stupid it's sad. On the other hand, there's very little difference in taste/texture versus non-pasteurized milk, some people think they prefer the taste of raw milk when what they're really enjoying is non-homogenized milk, which is still pasteurized.
My parents are in that range, but I'd say they're even worse off; facebook is my mom's primary news source and my dad [rightly] thinks they're all propaganda and only watches historical documentaries. Perhaps that's the intent, but our society doesn't have any actual agreed upon source of actual news anymore. News in 2026 is just your favorite talking head talking to your preexisting notions and making you feel validated.
It's all a scam that would be investigated in normal times. Tesla's cars and robots will need AI to function (albeit xAI seems to be failing spectacularly), and xAI is hemorrhaging cash, but he loses leverage over Tesla's board if the AI division went to the Tesla. SpaceX investors should be pissed they're going to be carrying it now, and Tesla investors should be pissed as well.
I can see Schumer now, giving a forceful floor speech, his fist in the air, half-glasses on the podium, "rest assured, this matter is not concluded!" Then promptly voting yes with a promise from republicans that we'll vote on something else later maybe.
We laugh, but it's a power move on his part, that's how he sees it at least. Could also be from the stimulants. Or long term damage from that tent stake. Or all of the above. What a wild timeline.
Duh, the datacenter holding company is funded by openAI, which is funded by nvidia, who makes their money selling chips to the datacenter holding company, who then rents out their equipment to openAI, who gets funding from nvidia. So basically Enron 2.0
It's because a normal person would hit a few tens of millions and call it a day, retire, spend time with their family. The internal drive that creates a billionaire also prevents them from ever being happy or satisfied in any meaningful way. I think it's similar to how a psychopath is incapable of empathy, it's pathological.
We don't even have a functioning media establishment. My retired parents get their 'news' from a mix of Facebook, Nextdoor, and what people tell them casually. My sister lives with them and aside from instagram, same thing. There's no daily newspaper, they can't navigate the constantly changing landscape of news apps, which billionaires own which media corp, which media corp is biased in which direction. It feels more like the beginning throes of societal collapse, old men aren't planting trees (for which shade they won't enjoy), they're raping kids, bribing politicians, and building island bunkers.
Dunkin is literally better, unless things have changed, their policy was to always have a < 15 minute pot of coffee ready. Any longer and it starts to spoil. Freshly grinded beans and a freshly brewed is probably the single most important part of coffee, inexpensive beans can taste good.

"This is our final warning" -type energy here.

He's still polling pretty well for a notorious child rapist and trafficker, and potentially worse.

Ideally they can keep his heart pumping juuuuuust enough so he continues to miss floor votes but won't get replaced by someone that can has mobility.
The US is now literally run by a gang of pedophiles and child traffickers. Thanks mitch.

The only thing stopping me from moving from Win10 to a new rig on Linux Mint is ram prices.

Typical NYC slumlord style: "Free first months rent."
